When the ear ofa Reviewer is palled, and his attention is nearly exhausted, by listening to the monotones of medio crity which sound from Modern Lyres, it is a rich reward, for his labour, it is a cordial . ter his wearied spirits, to hear the. breathings 'of ardent genius, and to hail the approaches of the real Muse. Such recompense have we experienced from the energetic Numbers of Miss . Bannerman, and 'such relief has been imparted by the soothingintluence of her charmed song• • " Misi Bannerman delights.to soar in 'the loftiest regions of imagination, and gaze with undaunted ken upon "•pro strate worlds" below ; nor does she fail in her airy -flight to strike the chords of true poesy, with the melting pathos of Collins; and the romantic ardour of Gray."—NeW London Review, May 1800. j.
