In Two neat Pocket Volumes, Price 9s. 



The Spirit of British Song. 



With illustrative and Biographical Notes, by the late 



JOHK GOLDIE. 



" Among the innumerable collections of Songs which are 

 continually issuing from the press, we have not met with 

 one deserving more universal patronage, than the one now 

 before us. Judging from the first four Numbers, which 

 have been handed to us, we can safely say it is the best we 

 have yet seen. It is really what it professes to be — 'The 

 SPIRIT OF BRITISH SONG ;' and gives only what it promises 

 — the Popular Melodies of the day. A publication of this 

 kind, we conceive was much wanted. No selection was 

 obtainable at a reasonable price, divested of all the obsolete 

 rubbish misnamed songs, which are here judiciously dis- 

 carded, and at the same time free from what most Song 

 Books are crampied with, viz., oi'igins^l trash."— 2%e TeU"
