more,” fung by Mrs. Mountain, is a 
pleafant, eafy little melody; and ‘«* How 
ble& the Britith {ailor,” fung by Mr. 
Denrsan, 1s a good fea-fong. ‘‘ Where 
Sandy told his tale of love,” 
BMifs Howells, is hit off with much fancy ; 
the concluding paflages are «particularly 
agreeable, and the introduction of the 
cayilions is calculated to produce a {trik- 
ing effe&t. . The fourth fong, ‘¢ When 
the tr umpet’ s wild blaft-and the cannon’s 
loud roar,” fang by Mrs. Franklin, is 
conceived with fpirit. «¢ Lovers’ vows,””

teer,” jung by Mrs. Mountain, is a fin- 
gularly pretty fong. ‘* Oh, my Willy, 
my Willy,” fung by Mrs. Franklin, is 
perfectly Caledoziaz ; and “ The happy 
farmer,” which concludes the colleétion, is 
vocal and attractive. 
6< “Fane of Dover” a Canzonet for the Piano- 
orte, with an Accompamment for a Violin. 
Compofedjdy William Abingdon, Jun. _ 1s. 
Rolfe. 
_¢ Jane of Dover’’ is a pleafing ballad 
in its kind; fimplicity is very juaicioufly 
made the predominant feature of its ftyle, 
and the fymphony accords with the air. 
We are obliged to obferve, that in the 
fecond bar of the lower line of the firft 
page we find a direct violation of cone of 
thofe harmonic rules with which the 
youngeft compofer is fuppofed to be ac- 
guainted. This we conceive to be the 
efiect of hate, and do not doubt but Mr. 
Abingdon will in future be guarded 
yi tt fimilar /lips. 
‘ Hail the Breath of dewy Morning,” A Song 
compofed by Mr. Abingdon, Jun. is.

in this little air we find much tafte and 
imagination. ‘Phe melody is highly ex- 
preflive of the fenfe of the words, and the 
violin accompaniment is ingenioufly con- 
tir ucted.

each other, accompanied with directions 
refpecting the performance. ‘The party 
who takes the under notes employs his 
left hand only, while he who performs 
the upper part ufes his right hand only, 
and the third player both his hands. The 
effect produced by this contrivance is 
fometimes uncommon, and fome credit is 
certainly due to Mr. Kollman for the 
novelty of the idea. 
‘¢ Ye Loyal Volunteers,”? infcribed to Six Robert 
Burnet, by William Gawler, Author of the 
Words and Mufic. 1s. Rolfe. 
This ballad confifts of three verfes, te 
each of which the mufic is repeated in the 
print. The melody is tolerably bold and 
characteriftic, and the fymphony and bafs 
are well managed. 
Grand March, compofed and dedicated to the 
Gentlemen Vo dlintéers of the London and Weft 
minfter Loyal Affociations, by W. Ling. 1s. 
Rolfe. 
Mr. Ling, in the prefent piece, has 
evinced confiderable talent for the compo- 
fition of martial mufic. Much vigour of 
conception, and a thorough knowledge, of | 
the inftruments for which he writes, are 
difplayed in moft of thé paffages. The 
bafs 1s good, and the peals are put toge- 
ther with meaning and addrefs.

ment for the Piano- ey te, compofed by Mr. 
Cartet.© 5s, Thompjon. 
‘© The Soldier's Struggle’’ is one of 
the beft compofitions of this ingenious 
mafter. The melody is uncommon, yet 
natural and unaffected ; and the accent 
and accompaniments 
forcible and pointed. _ In a word, the 
complicated beauties of the ftrain aeole 
us to recommend it to the attention of all 
lovers of -good yoca] muiic. 
Three Sonatas for the Piano-forte, with an Ac-

by A. Betts, 6s, Betts. 
We have perufed thefe fonatas with 
much pleafure. Though they in fome 
pi laces evince a fancy not moving with 
thatentire eafe and freedom neceflary to real 
excellence, yet we alfo find many proofs 
of genius, as wellas refpectable teftimo- 
mies of fcience. The paflages are not, 
generally fpeaking, remarkably novel or 
ftriking in themtelves; but they are ar-. 
ranged with tafte ; and while the combinati- 
ons and modulations are trictly fubfer- 
vient to the laws of harmony, the flow of 
the upper part is of a caft to engage and
