© "PRGR groves of {weet Myrtles,” a 
Scotch ballad, written by the late 
Robert Burn, compofed by fF. Ambrofe. 1s. 
Riley. 
Mr. Ambrofe, in this ballad, has pro- 
duced a fuccefsful imitation of the Scotch 
tyle.. If the melody poffcfles any ima- 
terial defects, they are thoie of common 
place ideas; but we mult fay, that the 
thoughts, whatever cHer eee be in 
the emielves, ate pleafingly arranged, and 
formin the aggregate a very attractive 
melody. 
A Military March, in fcore, arranged for. 
the piano forte, compofed and dedicated, by 
permiffion to Lord Vernon, by . Fiffa. 
is. Holland. 
This march, confidering that it marches 
throughout.in the old beaten traét, is to- 
lerably good in its ftyle, and difcovers 
conlidersble ingenuity ir the compofer. 
The {core is put together with judgment, 
and is calculated to produce much mili- 
tary effect.

Variations, forthe harp or piatio-forte, by

The Fife Hunt, qualified by thofe

the piano-forte.. Some of the diftances. 
in the third variation will, perhaps. be
