qualifications of the editor. 
A Favourite Ballad, the Words taken from Car 
lifle’s Specimens of Arabian Poetry, by T. 
Haigh. 15, Longman, Clementi, and Co. 
We find much to be pleafed with in 
this ballad. The melody is conceived 
with tafle, and the expreffion is fometimes 
jut and forcible; but the accent, we mult 
fay, is not always correct, by carelefsness 
in which important point the compofer 
lofes much of the advantage he would 
otherwife derive from the feveral excel 
Jencies of his compofition. 
Scle& Little Pieces, confifting of Eafy Leffons, 
Airs, and Rondos, adapted for the Improve- 
ment of “fuvenile Performers, with the Fin- 
gering carefully marked for the Piano-Forte. 
gs: Rolfe. 
This ufeful little compilation is chiefly 
furnifhed from the works of Haydn, Pleyel, 
Mozart, Muller, and Linley. The move- 
menis are felected with judgment, and, in 
general, progreflively arranged. It is al- 
ways with pleafure that we review publi- 
cations of this nature; but, independant 
of the tendernefs due to every work ex- 
prefsly devoted to the juvenile practiti- 
oner, we profefs ourfelves much pleafed 
with the prefent, and cannot but announce 
it as wortly of every pupil’s attention. 
Second Calle&tion of fazourite Songs, fung by 
Mafter Gray, Mifs Howells, Mr. Dignum, 
Mr. Denman, Mrs. Franklin, Mifs Sims, 
and Mifs Cooke, at Vauxball Gardens. Com- 
poled by Mr, Hook, 3s. Bland and Weller. 
This collection comprifes eight fongs, 
which, like moft of Mr. Hook’s garden- 
productions, are light, pretty, and fanci- 
ful. The firft, third, fifth, feventh, and 
eighth, we ¢hink remarkably attractive, 
and do not doubt but that they will enfure 
the fale of the book, 
Twelve Airs for the Piano-Forte, with Accom- 
paniments fcr a Flute and Tamborine. Com- 
pofed, and inferibed to Mrs. Henderfony by 'J. 
Mazzinghi.. 7s. 6d. 5 
Goulding, Phipps, and D’ Almaine. 
Thefe airs are, for the moft part, of an 
elegant though fimple caft. The paffages 
lie remarkably well for the finger, and, 
while they greatly pleafe, cannot fail to 
improve the young performer, At the 
end of this work we find fome ufeful in 
ftructions for performing on the tamborine.

_ This collection now amounts to four 
volumes, which, bound together, form a 
neat little Yade Mecum of flute and violin © 
mufic. ‘The pieces, which are nearly two 
hundred in number, are for the moft part 
feiected with tafte, and fo generally ad- 
mired, that. the work cannot fail to be 
highly acceptable to young practitioners 
on the inftrument for which they are here 
defigned.

6¢ The Tambourine,’ a favourite Song by Mifs 
Sims, at Vauxhall Gardens.  Compofed by 
Wir Broole. 1s. Preftor. 
‘¢ The Tamborine” is one of thofe 
agreeable trifles which attract the ear . 
though they do not touch the heart. The 
melody is {mooth and facile, and the fenie 
of the words tolerably well expreffed. 
Three Duetts for Tzvo Violincelloes, or a Violin. 
and ViolincelHlo, Compofed, and Dedicated to 
Robert Morfe, Efg. by Thomas Panel. | 7s. _ 
6d. Monzani and Cimador. 
After a careful perufal of thefe duetts, 
we have the pleafure to be enabled to 
fpeak of them in terms of high commen- 
dation. They difplay much fertility of 
imagination ; are full of defign, and con- 
ftraucted with a maftery which  befpeaks 
more {cience than we find in the generality 
of modern compolers. 
“6 Poverty’s no Sin.” A Song with an Accompa- | 
niment for the Piano-Forte. Compofed by 
J: K. Day. ‘1s. Prefion. 
We find fome pleafing traits of fancy 
in this little ballad. The modulation is 
well conducted, and the expreflion attend- 
ed to with fuccefs, efpecially at the words, 
«« She figh’d, and held her bafket low.” 
We have, however, to notice two confe- 
cutive fifths in the chords of the bafs in 
the feventh bar of the fymphony, and the 
fame /apfus in the feventh bar of the air. 
Elegant Extracts, for the Gazer confifting of the 
moft celebrated Songs from the lateft Operas, and 
thofe fung at the Nobilitys Concerts, including 
the Compojfitions of Mozart, Haydn, Pleyel, 
and other efleemed Authors. 48. Rolfe. 
We find in this felection upwards of 
thirty airs of different defcriptions, moft 
of which are particularly calculated for the 
guitar, and cannot fail voth to pleafe and 
improve the young practitioner on that 
fafhionable infyrumenr.
