Mr. Ackermann, also announces 
a continuation of Bryant’s Rudiments, of 
Landscapes in Chalks; this relates to 
perspective, and on the whole, we think 
the whole work bids fair to be the most 
useful, as it is unquestionably the cheap- 
est,publication that has appeared on this 
subject. 
When Louis XIV. of France went in 
Review of new Musical Publications. 
{Nov. I, 
person on a campaign, It was accome 
panied with all the pomp and tircumstance 
of war. Wedo not mean to allude to 
the selection of his generals, the disci- 
pline of his troops, or the stores with 
which his camp was furnished. No! it 
was a kind of theatrical clangour of arms, 
which filled the ear, without terrifying the 
mind, He was usually attended by all 
the idle retinue of his court, and so at- 
tentive to all the forms, that his army, 
during his progress, were never ready to 
begin their march befure noon; but, as 
his Majesty went out assured of conquest, 
he had in his swite, historians to record 
his victories, and painters to delineate 
his battles, aud draw plans of the cities 
which were destined to surrender to his 
arms. We all know, that he was some- 
times disappointed. In having his Aeroic 
acts recorded in that pictured language, 
which men of all nations can read, 
Bonaparte seems acting a part somewhat 
similar. Elow far the Emperor Napo- 
leon may experience a similar disap- 
pointment to Louis Le Grand, tume will 
shew. In ore of the Journals of last 
month, is the following curious para- 
graph. 
“‘ They are now executing at the Ge- 
belins, the admirable picture of M. Gros, 
representing the visit of the Emperor to 
the pestiferous hospital at Jaffa. This 
piece of tapestry is destined to ornament 
one of the principal apartments of the 
palace of the Thuilleries.” 
REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

Siz Divertimentos for the German Flute, selected 
from the most popular English; Scotch, Welch, 
qrish, German, and Russian Melodies, with 
Preludes, Rondos, Cadenzas, and double Stops. 
By S. Taylor; principal Flutist at the Theatre 
Royal Drury-lane, and Haymarket, 5s: 
LiESE divertimentos are not only 
well chosen with respect to their 
subjects, but are given in a style which 
cannot fail to beth please and improve 
the pupil. The author informs us, in the 
advertisement prefixed to his work, that 
many of his scholars who have practised 
them from the manuseript, “ have inva- 
riably found them to answer the purpose 
for which they were designed.” ‘This 
success he very justly attributes, in a 
sonsidgrable degree, to the double stops ; 
which certaisly cannot but be improving 
to every assiduous practitioner, as well 
as highly gratifying to every auditor of 
taste. The arrangements are good ; and 
as the embellishments may be either used 
or omitted, every description of amateurs 
may be accommodated. We have to 
add, that the publication is greatly cal-. 
culated to regulate the performer’s ear, 
and, consequently, to correct the too fre- 
quent fault among flute-players, that of 
blowing out of tune. These recommen- 
dations will, we trust, have considerable 
weight with those attached to the instru- 
ment for which the present work .is m- 
tended, and excite an attention that will 
encourage Mr. Taylor to further efforts 
of a similar kind,
