On the whole, we think that this very 
curious and noyel invention, promifes to 
come into much greater requeft, and be 
more attended to and admired as it is 
better known. Indeed taken in every

to the artifts and the lovers of drawing, as 
they may themfelves multiply their own

of engraving; the ftone being prepared fo

the high talents and profound fcience

good old fchool to which the compofer 
was indebted, for the pure and wae 
ftyle of his compolitions. The work is 
brought out with accuracy and neatnefs,

A New Glee for Three Voices, The Words 
tranflated from the.27tb Ode of Anacreon, by 
Thomas Mecre, Efg. Compofed and dedicated 
to the Tranjflator, by Samuel Wefley, Efge 
2s. 6d. 
We find in this glee fo much genius 
and fcience, as to lamcnt our not having, 
heard its performance by the Society of 
Harmonifts, at one of their late meetings. 
The movements are judicionily varied, 
and the exprefiion is given with energy. 
But the moft. profound may be betrayed 
into an accidental lapfe ; and we fubmit 
it to Mr, Wefley, whether be has not, in 
effeét, two confecutive octaves m the 
fame direétion in the firft bar of his third 
page.

This piece is pleafingly fancied ; the 
paffages are natural, eafy, and connetted: 
and the whole prefents an effeét highly 
creditable, to the compofer’s tafte and ta- 
lents. The fubject of the Pajiorale is 
payneula wly attractive, and the repeti- 
tion of the firft movement in an accele- 
rated tinte, is well judged, A word. of 
compliment is due to Mr. Lavenu, for 
the neatnefs and accuracy with whick 
the piece is printed,
