* Love and Folly,” a Ballad. Composed by 
Soseph Major. 1s. 6d. 
This ballad, which is accompanied 
with a part for the piano-forte, is written 
with an ease and simplicity analagous to 
the style of the words, and does credit to 
Mr, Major’s judyment. Where little is 
sutlicient much ought not to be done; 
aid we listen to the few artiess notes 
given to “ Love and Folly,” with a plea- 
sure which we could not have derived 
from a more elaborate melody, 
“Andante and Waltz, for the Piano-forte. Com- 
posed and dedicated to Miss G. Thel lusson, by 
T. Haigh. As. 
This is one of those little productions 
ef the day, which not being destitute of 
fancy, attach the attention of the juve- 
nile practitioner, contribute to keep the 
finger in action, and pszomote the cearher 
stages of execution.

Arranged as a Rondo for the Piano-forte, and 
inscribed te Miss ihe ty FW. Holden. 
ds. 6d. 
This pleasant and popular little air 
forms, a8 here presented to the public, 
an attractive and improving exercise for 
the Piano-forte. The passages are dis- 
posed with particular convenience for the 
juvenile hand; and the execution is free, 
smooth, and cen

Ct es vignette to this print represents 
the monument executed by Mr, 
Fiaxman, and erected to his memory at 
the expence, aud by the order, of the es 
vernor and princ ipal inhabitants of Ma- 
dras. The portrait is as large as life, 
and portraits of this size have not been 
generally eminently successful; which 
fas often been owing to the artist having 
been accustomed to engraving heads on a 
smaller scale, and adhering too much to 
his usual style. Mr. Kinght having been 
accustomed to engravings of this size, is 
Bpon more certain ground, and has here 
displayed his usual judgment and taste; 
for it is a.very fine print, and does credit 
to the abilities of the artist.

A: rene of General Lard Lake, engraved by 
by R, Cooper, from a Picture painted in In-

This print represents General Lake, 
and his son, Colonel Lake, in the bate 
of Laswari, atthe poit of time when the 
General Nod his horse shot under him. 
A picture of an. Fuglish general at so 
perilogs a moment, would, from that cir+ 
cumstance only, greate an interest in the: 
heart of every Briton; but this print has 
some other’ claims. to attention, and is 
well engraved in the chalk manner.

Engraved and published by John Young, En- 
graver to His Royal! Highness the Pri ince of 
Wales, Charlotte strect, Fitzroy- square. 
We often see a portrait, whichis admi- 
rably pated, engraved in either a cgarse 
and careless style, or finished in such a 
miniature manner, that the spirit of the 
original has totally eva por rated; and we 
see as frequently the time and talents 
of a good engraver wasted in copying 
from a vile original daubing, that was 
not worth the tronble of transferring to 
the copper. In the above, Mr. Young 
had before him a very good portrait; ia 
lis copy he has succecded, and, by a hap- 
py union of fidelity and spirit, | produced a 
very line print. y
