expreffion. The parts are put together 
with the addrefs of a maffer, and ferve 
to fhew that great effects may be produced 
by fimplicity of conftru&tion. We muft, 
however obferve, that the word prophetefs 
would have been better exprefled by letting 
the /emiquaver precede the dotted quaver. 
*€ The Poor Old Man,” amoral Ballad, in Dia- 
logue, and in the Style of Gaffer Gray. Set to 
Mufic, and dedicated to\Mrs. Carden, by Fobn 
Rofs, Organift of Aberdeen. 
The melody of «* The Poor Old Man,” 
mot only bears evident marks of the tafte 
and fenfibility of its author, but ranks 
among the beit of his numerous vocal 
produGtions. The paffages glide with 
an affecting fmoothne(s, and ftrongly illuf- 
trate the fentiment of the words. 
Fhe Oak, a favourite Ballad. Compofed by C. 
Stokes. 
The melody of this fong is charatte- 
rized by tafte and feeling, and the piano- 
forte accompaniment is conceived in a 
very finifhed ityle. We recommend Mr. 
Stokes to proceed in the career he has fo 
fuccefsfully commenced. 
Poor Ellen, a Ballad. Set to Mufic by Mr. 
King. 
The merit of the mufic of ** Poor El- 
Jen” is chiefly confined to its fimplicity

and truth of expreffion. Thefe qualities 
we can juftly allow it, though we cannot 
fpeak of its originality, or fay that it has 
any prominent feature of its own. The 
accompaniment, though only a harmonized 
counterpart of the melody, is filled up 
with judgment, and contributes to the ge+ 
neral effect. - ees 
&¢ Art thou not dear unto my Heart?” a new and 
favourite Songs  Compofed by W. Scamak 
Stevens. 
Though we cannot rank this ballad 
with thofe of the firft order, either in 
point of melody or expreffion, yet we trace 
in it the dawning of genius, and think 
that by perfeverance Mr. Stevens may be- 
come a: refpectable author in this fpecies of 
compofition, 
‘6 My Heart, lovely Mary is thine,” a Bailad.

Piano-forte, by Mr. Rofs, of Aberdeen, The 
-Poetry by Fobn Rannic, Eqs 
Weare much pleafed with the fpirit- 
and animation of this fong. The air en- 
gages by its vivacity, and, though we 
trace in it nothing remarkably novel, the 
paflages are fo arranged as to produce a 
{triking exfemble, to win the attention 
of the hearer. |
