A ColleBion of the moft approved and admired 
Hymns, compofed by Drs. Arnold, Dupuis,

fon, Battifpill, Atwood, Ru, ell, Spofforth, 
Whitaker, Horfley, Stevens, Marfb, T. 
Welfh, Williams, and ihe late Rev. Mr. 
‘Fones, of Nayland; feleéted by Mr. Fobn 
Page, Vicar Choral of St. Paul's, aud de- 
dicated to the Society of Patrons of the Anni- 
‘uerfary of the Charity Schuols in London, and 
its enwirons. 10s. 6d. 
This publication, as the editor himfelf 
juftly obferves, ¢* is peculiarly adapted 
for young ladies, who delight in finging, 
or performing little pieces of facred mu- 
work, we think with him, that’ ‘* compo- 
fitions of fuch eminent mafters cannot fail 
to prove acceptable to every religious 
family.” Ina word, and without flattery 
to Mr. Page, he has edited the mo!t com- 
plete and moft ufeful felections of facred 
roufic, in the domeftic and familiar fiyle, 
now extant. 
The Bugle-born Overture to the Grand Speétacle 
of Foanna of Surinam, compofed by Ff. San- 
derjon, 25. 
This pleaiing overture is arranged by 
the compofer in a familiar ftyle, and 
forms, in its prefent ftate, an excellent 
practice for the piano-forte. 
The bugle-horn pafiages, from which 
the compofition derives its appellation, ~ 
are particularly agreeable in their effect ; 
and the piece, taken in the aggregate, 
refleéts much credit on the talents and taiie 
of the author. 
The Dinner of Love; fung by Mr. Incledon, 
at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden 3 the 
Words and Melody by Anthony Paquin, E/q. 
Is. 
This ballad is arranged with an accom- 
paniment forthe piano-forte, by Mr. Par- 
kiss The words are written with much 
of the true fpirit of poetry, and the air, 
though neither novel nor ftriking, is fami- 
liar and agreeable. ‘The accompaniment 
is flight, but not unappropriate to the fub- 
ject. 
Twelve Waltzes, for the Piano-forte, compofed 
and dedicated to Mifs Rofs Lewin, by F. 
Coulman, 25. 6d. 
Though we do not difcover_many traits 
of original fancy in thefe Waltzes, we 
muft in candour fay, that they poflefs 
fome tafeful and pleafing turns of thought, 
and are in their general effect fo far above 
mediocrity, as to do much credit to the 
talents of theirau:hor. ~~ 
*¢ Come let us all a Maying go,” a Glee for 
Scour Voices ; compofed by ‘Ff. Coulman, is. Od. 
The melody of this glee is pleafing, and 
the, parts are put together with confidera-

{peak a clofe attention to the fubjeét of 
the words, and the combined effect evin- 
ces much ability for thofe fpectes of coma 
pofition. ! 
Favourite Air, from a- French Comic Opera,’ 
adapted for the Piano-forte, by C. Wefley, 
Eig Avs. 
Ot the beauty of this air we cannot fay 
much, but have great credit to give Mr. 
C. Wefley, for the excellent exercife he 
has formed from it. The digreffions are 
elegant and. fanciful; and oaly leave us 
to regret that fuch abilities and fcience as 
diftinguifh this great mafer fhould be 
employed on any other than original com- 
pehtion. 
Tne Bilberry Lafs, a pathetic Ballad, written 
and dedicated to the Earl of Gusldford, by 
Mis Wilkinfon 5 compofed by Mrs, M, Bryan. 
Is. 6d. 
. This trifle, we can call it no more, is, 
as faras its fubje& and ftyle will allow, 
The words are 
fimple and natural, and the melody is eafy 
and unaffected, but we cannot fay that we 
difcover in either any pretenfions to the 
praife of originality, or marked charaSter. 
The celebrated Overture to the Sun-feaft of 
the Bramins ; compofed by Muller 3 arranged 
for the Piano-forte or Harp, with two addi- 
tional New Movements, by ‘Ff. Hook, efge 
2S. 
Mr. Hook, by his judicious arrange. 
ment and ingenious additions, has render- 
ed this admired overture a highly-pleafing 
and improving exercife for the inftrument 
to which he has adapted it, and we doubt 
not of its general and favourable recep- 
tion. 
Fanny, a Canzonet, with an Accompaniment 
for the Piano-forte or Harp, by G. Maf. 
ts. 6d. 
This fong, the words of which are 
from the ingenious pen of the Rev. Mr; 
Roberts, is graceful in its melody, and by 
no means void of expreffion. The effect 
of the whole, if weil fung, will, we teel 
affured, be found very generally pleafing 3 
and judging frem this favourable ipecimen 
of Mr, Mafi’s for vocal compofition, we 
do not hefitate to predist his tuture popu. 
Jarity. 
‘6 My Heart, lovely Mary, is thine ;” a Bal- 
lad fet to Mufic, with an Accompaniment for 
the Piano-forte, by. Ff. Rofs, Ejq. Aberdeen. 
In this little ballad we ftill fiad fome 
pleafing and charatteriftic ideas. The 
Accompaniment which is chiefly in the 
afpeggio ttyle, exhibits tafte and meaning, | 
and the general effect is worthy the ac- 
knowledged abilities of the compoler. —
