Bell. If, on account of the numerous and excellent works already 

 published on native Ornithology, this work is less valuable than its 

 predecessors, it by no means yields to them in its general character 

 and execution. The principal characteristics of this publication are

 with, him in whom we live, and move, and have our being, is the 

 object of sacred music. As an instrument of improvement to the 

 liuman race, its influence is undoubtedly great ; great in proportion 

 to the power with which it stimulates into healthful activity those 

 faculties through which we instinctively recognize the existence of

 Who that has listened to the solemn roll of the pealing organ, re-
