$6 ben Simmer's Sun; a Duet, sung by Mrs. 
Atkins and Mr. Taylor,. Composed by Mr. 
Davy. 15. 
Mr. Davy has more strongly tinged the 
present melody with the Scottish style 
than most imitators of the Caledonian 
Wards; indeed, with very few exceptions, 
it is pure Scotch, and goes far to prove 
the versatility of this ingenious composer’s 
imagination. Perhaps however ‘¢ When 
Simmer’s Sun,” as Mr. Davy has ma- 
naged it, is rather a dialogue than a duet, 
the two parts being taken up more in 
succession than combination. 
€* Invitation to the Bee; a Glee for four Voices, 
as sung by Mrs. Bianchi, Messrs. Goss, Harri- 
son, and Bellamy. The Words -by Charlotte 
Smith. The Music composed by Thomas Att- 
wood, esq. 33. 
Mr. Attwood has given to these charm- 
ing words a melody and combination of 
parts perfectly suitable to the subject, and 
that do as much credit to his fancy and 
science as to his taste and judgment. 
Where the poetry is faithful to. nature, 
and the music is modelled from the poe- 
_ try, the production must be good; and 
_ such we pronounce the “ Invitation to 
the Bee.” 
-“& The Cricket 3 a Ballad. Written by Mrs. H. 
_ West, and inscrited to Miss Pole. 
by }. Parry. 1s. 6d. 
The melody of this ballad is highly ap- 
propriate to the sense of the words, that 
ig, to what sense they have; and the pia- 
no-forte accompaniment is highly analo- 
gous to the subject, especially in the con- 
cluding movement of each verse. 
WVo. 2, of a Series of analyzed Fugues with Dou- 
ble Counterpoints. Composed for two Perform- 
ers on one Piano-forte, or Organ, by A. F.C. 
The Music 
Patents lately Enrolled, - 433 
Kolimann, Organist of bis Majesty's German 
Chapel, St. Sfames's. 5s. 
The present number of this useful work | 
follows up the promise of the first, and 
well serves to elucidate the principles of 
the fugue and of double counterpoints, 
as taught in the theoretical works of this 
ingenious and scdulous author, while it 
avoids troubling the amateur with the 
less entertaining study of long and dry 
treatises, 
*¢ The Dead Robin3” a Ballad Composed by 
Dr. Fcbn Clarke, of Cambridge. 1s. 
This little ballad is set with considers 
able pathos. The melody is sweetly 
expressive; and the general effect is 
that of simplicity and nature. The in- 
troduction of the minon third in the se- 
cond verse, onght ndt to escape our parti-+ 
cular notice; it is fraoght with mean- 
ing, and will not be lost upon the auditor 
of real taste and feeling. 
€¢°Tis Nothing but Love; a favourite Song, 
with an Accompaniment for the Piano forte. 
Composed by Fobn Whitaker. 1s. 6d. 
The simplicity of this little bailad will 
not fail to recommend it to the notice of 
the lovers of natural and unaffected me- 
lody. The notes move to the words and 
the sentiment, and successfully enforce 
the ideas of the author. ak? 
The lovers of musical curiosities will 
be glad to learn, that, in a few days, Mr, 
Parry, the composer of several favourite 
ballads, and agreeable exercises for young 
piano-forte practitioners, will publish a 
rondo, under the title of “* The Persian 
Dance,” in which will be introduced an 
Imitation of a smali pipe used by the 
shepherds in Persia, somewhat resembling 
the English flageolet, and described to 
Mr, Parry by his Excellency the Persian 
Ambassador.

PATENTS LATELY ENROLLED. 
Fe 
MR. JOSEPH MANTON’s, (DAVIES STREET, 
BERKELEY SQUARE,) for Improved 
’ Time- Keepers. 
HIS invention consists in a machine 
for time-keepers to act in vacuo, 
and it 1s so constructed that they may Le 
wound up in vacuo, without admitting . 
the external air. We could not, without 
the aid of plates, give such a description 
of this instrument as would be intelligi- 
ble; we shall, therefore, content ourselves 
with an account of the good effects to-be 
derived fram it. “The advantages,” 
says the patentee, “of time-kecpers 
going in vacuo are, ‘the unequal pressure 
of the atmosphere will be prevented ; 
for when the air is heavy, the vibrations 
of the balance or pendulum are retarded, 
when the air is light, they are accele« 
rated; but by these inventions of time-~ 
keepers going in vacuo, the vibrations of 
the balance or pendulum will be more 
uniform; the sea-air, damps, and dust, 
which are so injurious in rusting, cor- 
roding, and clogging the movements of 
the time-keepers, are totally excluded.
