corners, added to each page, we cannot: 
perceive either the beauty or utility; nor 
do we approve of the continued perpen- 
dicular drawn through the score, unne- 
cessarily cutting the words, and dividing 
their sense. The late Dr. Arnold, it 
is true, adopted this method; a devi- 
ation from Handell’s practice, which we 
never could agree to or understand. 
The productions intended to be in- 
eluded in. this work, are Acis and Gala- 
tea, Alexander’s Feast, Saul, the Dettin- 
gen Te Deum, and Jubilate, Messiah, 
Judas Maccabeus, Jephtha, L’Allegro 
ed il Penseroso, Samson, and a selection 
from the coronationand funeral anthems; 
apart of the first of which pieces (Acis 
and Galatea) occupies the pages of the 
present number. 
§¢ Safe and Sound.” The Overture, and the 
most favorite Songs, Duetts, and Trios, as 
performed at the Lyceum. Composed and dedi- 
eated to the Princess of Wales, by I. Hook, 
Esz. 10s. 6d. 
In the overture and music. of this 
opera, we find anumber of pleasing me- 
Jodies, some of which exbibit much of 
that sprightliness of faney and pleasing 
expressions, often observable in Mr. 
Hook’s theatrical compositions. Most 
of the movements, if not calculated to 
becbme popular, are lively and. appro- 
priate; and the harmonies simply and 
unaffectedly disposed. 
4 Favorite Slow Movement, to which is added, 
Buttered Peas, a new Rondvsfor the Piano- 
fate. Composed byT. H. Butler. 15, 
This Inttle production, taken in the ag- 
gregate, is of a description to please the 
generality of those hearers, who are par- 
tial to agreeable trifles; or those juve- 
nile praciitiqners, who wish to gratify the 
ear, while they are improving the finger. 
&¢ The Rout is Come.” A new and brilliant 
Rondo for the Piano-forte.. Compused by T. H. 
Butler. 1s. 6d. 
This rondo merits in a great measure, 
the epithets assumed in its title. The 
passages are not only well imagined, and 
ingeniously arranged, but are both novel 
and sparkling, and will not fail to strike 
every cultivated ear. 
Fhe ‘Sigh of Village Love. 
Foy. 18. 64. 
‘The Sigh of Village Love is pleasing, 
simple, and natural, in its melody; and 
does credit to Mr. Joy’s imagination. 
The piano-forte accompaniment is easy 
of execution, and calculated to heighten 
the general effect. 
The Rustic Hornpipe and Dance, performed by 
Mrs. Helme, at the Royal Circus. Composed 
by I. Sanderson. 1s. 
‘Phe first of these movements is in coms

mon time of two Grotehets in a bar, the 
second in six quavers, The interesting 
and happily-varied animation of these two 
little compositions, ts creditable to Mr, 
Sanderson’s taste and judgment, and will 
not fail to promote the sale of the pub- 
lication, 
S6 O think not by my Eyes betrayed,” a Ballad, 
written by a Lady. Composed by I. Grosue= 
nor. 1s, 
This little air, which is accompanied 
with a part for the piano-forte, is smooth 
and easy in its style, and expressive of 
the words to which it is applied. The 
accompaniment is characteristic, and the © 
symphonies are appropriate. 
The Bradford Voluntecr® March. Composed 
and arranged for the Piano forte, and dedi- 
cated to Lieutenant-Colonel Hardy, and the 
Officers of the. Bradford Voluntgers, by I. — 
Brailsford. 1s. 
Of this march, we cannot speak in 
terms of high commendation. The style. 
is deficient in spirit, and the ideas not ~ 
only want force, but novelty and con- 
nection. The quick step, by which it is 
succeeded, is more happily: imagined, 
and will certainly please the majority of 
its hearers. ‘ 
A Grand March, for the Piano-forte or Harp. 
Composed and inscribed to Colonel Gould, and - 
the Officers of the Nottingham Regiment, by 
Foseph Major. 1s. 6d. : . 
This march is conceived with spirit, and 
in its effect is truly martial. The pas-_ 
sages are every where well connected, 
and the impression of unity, ot a whoie, 
is strong and decisive; and bespeaks a 
creative faculty. . 
The Loyal Bungay Volunteer?s Slow Marth and 
Quick-Step, inscribed to the Officers and Gen- 
tlemen of the abawe Corps, by Fobu King, of 
Nottingham, 15 5 ds 
We find in this march, no inconsider=_ 
able portion of that spirit and boldness, 
which ouglit to characterize every martial 
strain. ‘Lhe quick-step is sprightly, and 
follows the march with a pointed exhila- 
rating effect. 
“© The Mute Grey Fields,” a Canzonet, written 
by Miss Seward, with an Accompaniment 
for the Piano-forte, by Dr.F. Clarke. 1s. 6d. 
Dr. Clarke has given to these beautiful 
lines of Miss Seward, avery expressive 
and judiciously-varied melody. The 
key, the modulations, the constructiom 
of the bass, and the evolutions of the 
harmony, all combine to enforce the 
effect intended, and evince much talent 
and real mastery,
