which he has introduced in the firft piece, 
the “ Rondo danfe Ecoffoife’’ in the fecond, 
and the Irifh air in the third, are worked 
into excellent piano-forte movements, and 
are calculated to: pleafe the untutored, as

we cannot difmifs this article without

«¢ who'll die his. grave?” ** who'll toll

‘Thefe marches, though not of frit-rate

charaéterifed by an attractive fprightli-

We have examined the {cores of thefe

judgement which befpeaks the theoretical

‘The work, taken in the aggregate, forms 
an éxcellent colleétion of church melo-
