“fung by Mr. Incledon, with an Acconipaniment 
for the Piano-forte 5 coimpofed by'T. Carter. 
\ Thompfon. 
«¢ The Soldier’s Struggle”’ is, in point 
of character, ftrongly conceived. The 
‘melody is every where pointed and expref- 
five ; but in no part more conmicuouily fo 
thanat the words, ‘‘Hark "hark ! thedrums 
are calling,’ where the fenfe is fkilfully 
conveyed, and where genius and judement 
are moft firikingly united. 
Canon, Five in Trve, by Edraund Ayrton, Afu/.

Longman, Clementi, and Co. 
Dr. Ayrton, in the prefent ingenious 
yiece of -harmony, has dilplayed much of 
Rhat fcience and happy contrivance necef- 
fary to the produétion of a good canon. 
The parts combine with eale, and the ag- 
gregate effect is a confirmation of our high 
opinion of the judgment of the author in 
this {pecies of compofition. :

Moxart’s celebrated Opera of the Lauberfiste 
the moft effeemed Airs from ibat valuable Work, 
Arranged as Duetts far, two Performers on one 
Piang-forte or Harpfichord, by V. Haigh. §3.

Mr. Haioh has feleéted from this cele- 
brated opera three of the moft approved 
airs; and which, under his management, 
form practices for the Piano-forte as agree - 
able as they are ingenious and improving. 
The works of this fo juftly elteemed com- 
pofer cannot be too frequently brought 
before the public, and the ufe made of 
the prefent melodies does much credit to 
the author of the new arragement.

The Bugle Horn is here converted into

veniently for the hand, and are accommo-

Girl going to fetch Water. 
A Gul returning from Market. 
A Peafant’s Return to his Family in the

- Portrait of Lady Jane Harley. 
A Shepherd Boy. 
A Cottage Girl. 
The two laft are of a fimaller fize than 
the others. 
. Thefe little and beautiful imitations 
are of that fimple and captivating clafs 
which fe much diftinguifhed the produc- 
tions of the late juf&ly admired Gainfbo- 
rough, of whofe works they remind us, 
not from being in the flighteft decree im1- 
tations of his ftyle, but from being con- 
ceived in the fame fpirit, and executed 
with the fame tafte and feeling. A Shep- 
herd Boy,a Cottage Girl, and a Peafant's 
Return to bis Family, wm the hands of this 
artift, become fafcinating and interefting 
fubje&s. Added to all this, the co!our- 
ang and general appearance are fo fimilar 
to drawings,. that it requires a very clofe 
infpeétion to difcover that they are prints.

The Shetland Peafants. The Hufbandman’s Re- 
frefement. Painted by H. Singleton, engraved 
by Anthony Cardon, price 7s. 6d. each. 
In The Shetland Feafants, there is an evie | 
dent, and not an uihappy imitation of 
Weltall, to whofe fafcingting productions 
though it(is not equal, it is more in his 
manner, than any of thofe we have feen, 
who have trod in the fame path. The 
companion print is inferior; both of them 
are very well engraved in the chalk man- 
ner. . 
The Wafpington Family. Painted and engraned 
by E. Savage, publifhed by Savage and 
Wilkinfon, Cornbill, price 11, 115. 6d. 
This is a groupe, of the general, his 
lady, and two grand-children, and fince 
the general’s death has excited fome inte- 
reft; but confidered as a piece of art is in 
a very inferior clafs, and we can hardly 
‘think it poffible that the portraits could 
be painted from the life. They certainly 
are treated in a very favage ftile.
