66 But who the Melodies of Morn can tell 2” 
a Glee for Three Voices. Composed by M. P. 
--King, Esq. 2s. 
~ The movements of this glee are aptly 
diversified, and the various melodies 
strongly expressive of the sense of the 
poetry. The harmony is sound, and the 
parts move with pleasantness and free- 
dom. ‘The execution is within the reach 
of most performers, and the effect, we 
are confident, will please every hearer of 
taste. 
The Birth of Liberty, a favourite Song, sung by 
Mr. Iucledon, in his mew Entertainment, a 
Voyage to India. Composed by H. R. Bishop. 
As. 6d. 
This song, though not destitute of me- 
rit, does net possess any strong claims to 
our commendation. The ‘melody is in 
some instances rather flat, and in others 
quaint. Yet we must, in candour, say, 
that the general effect is above medi- 
acrity.

This elegant little work preserves in its 
second number all the repute created by 
the excellence of the first, and will, we 
doubt not, well repay the good taste, 
spirit, and liberality, of Messrs. Cian-

Six Sonatas for the Pians-forte. Composed and 
inscribed to Miss Coke, by F. Mazxzinghis: 
Ts. Gd. : 
Mr. Mazzinghi has furnished, in thése 
sonatas, some pleasant and useful exer- 
cises for juvenile practitioners on the. 
instrument for which they are written. 
The passages all lie well for the hand of 
the tyro, and, if properly stadied, cannot 
fail to produce improvement. 
66 The Meadow so Green,” a favourite Ballad, 
as sung by Miss Duncan at the Theatre-reyal, 
Drury-lane. Composed by Charles Edward 
Horne: : As. ; . 
» Of the melody of this ballad we cannot 
speak in terms of the highest praise. 
The composer has evidently mistaken in- 
sipidity for simplicity, and common- 
place ideas for examples of easy and na= 
tural expression. “et

It may be presumed that the mine, 
after having been so long explored, 
must-‘by this time be exhausted: but 
daily extending and increasing observa- 
tion brings to light new facts, and gives 
birth to additional reflections; some of 
which are calculated’to establish, others 
to shake, the basis’ of those opinions, 
which were, perhaps, the premature re- 
sult of early, and comparatively imper- 
fect experience. 
By a mature and more advanced prac- 
tice we are led, in preference to the me-

retricious and seducing glare of ‘hypo- 
thesis, to follow that chaster, and more 
steady and certain, although less dazzling

more than is usual at this portion of” 
the year, a predominance of bilious com-

It should, however, be observed, that 
what is generally called “ the bile,” has 
often no immediate or original connection 
with the biliary organs, but depends more 
upon the state of the stomach.
