To have its proper effect, it requires the accom- 
paniment of good performers on the violin and 
violoncello. 
( Two Sonatas, by the fame Author, 55. Of. 30. - 
A grand Sonata, for two Performers on one 
Pianc Forte. Ditto. Corri and Co. 
We cannot boaft of any remarkable novelties 
in thefe two works; and, in our opinion, they 
_ aré, in feveral refpeéts, inferior to many of Mr. 
Pleyel’s former publications. 
Three Sonatas jor the Piano Forte, with Ac- 
companiments for a Violin and Vinlonceflo, ad 
libitum. By Muzio Clementi, Op. 25. 85. 
Prefton and Son. + 
This work, like fome others by the fame 
compofer, is diftinguifhed for the fingularity 
and correétnefs of its ftyle. Though written 
in an eafy manner, for the accommodation of 
performers in general, it ftill poffeifes the 
miafterly manner for which Mr. ‘Clementi is 
well known to the Englith public. — 
Six Sonatas for the Harpfichord or Piano Forte, 
with an Accompaniment for a Viclin. Composed 
by C. R, Molenaer, 7s. 6d. Longman and

cannot fail to introduce them as favourites of the

Thefe duetts are fimply arranged from the

Ame iutte le belle, 38. and Io parto mio bene,

Viganoni. Corri and Co. , 
Thefe fongs met with a very popular recep- 
- ‘tion in their public performance at the Opera. 
- Their own merit was, doubtlefs, incteafed in 
its effect by the excellent manner of finging 
them by Mr. Viganoni.

Wwe has publifhed a fpecimen 
of what we may expect from his 
Attifches Mufeum, He propotes to give to 
Germany a full and accurate knowledge, 
as far as tranilation can, of the manners, 
‘.cuftoms, and celebrated warks of the 
Greeks. The panegyric of Jfocrates 
appears, in the fisft part of his firft vo- 
Musite of Weketa Bad 
493 
lume, in a German drefs, and, from the 
elegant tafte of the tranflator, it tuffers 
as little as poflible in the change. Surely, 
a work of the fame kind would receive 
encouragement in England. The Attic 
writers deferve to be introduced, as they 
arein Germany, tothe toilettes of the 
fair fex in England, initead of being 
confined toe the mufty precincts of a- 
college.

Mr. JoHn IRELAND, author of 
Hovarth Lhifivated, is about to prefent 
‘another treat to the admirers of that 
great artift. In the courfe of the pre- 
fent year, he propofes to publith, by 
fub{cription, a fupplementary volume to 
his Hogarth Illuftrated, compiled from 
papers in the hand-writing of Hogarth, 
with new prints. r. Ireland informs 
usin his profpectus, that it is to Mrs, 
Lewis, of Chifwick, a relation and ex. 
ecutrix to Mrs. Hogarth, that the public 
are indebted for the prefent valuable 
addition to Hogarth’s Works, as an 
author and an artift. The original MSS,

* In Euclid’s time, the method was ge- 
nerally known of conftructing, geome- 
trically, triangles, quadrilateral figures, 
pentagons, hexagons, quindecagons, or 
any fgures with double the number of 
- fides in the above figures: but the other 
regular figures have been fuppofed to be 
without the limits of the art. A Student, 
at Goettingen, has announced his inten- 
tions of making public a method of 
conftru€iing many other figures with fes 
ven, eleven, thirteen fides each, geome- 
trically.” This method is deduced from 
the corollary to a theorem of very great 
extent. The mathematician, who has 
made this difcovery, is a Mr. Gauss, 
of Brunfwick, to whofe proficiency in 
philofophical and claffical fludies,profeffor 
Zimmerman bears honourable tefimony.
