tions of Miss• M. Lindsay, whose musical talents have found an
elevated theme in the poetry of Longfellow. Her latest work is.

are wedded tostrains of surpassing beauty and fervid solemnity."'

"Here we are presented with music to suit all tastes, cur inde-
fatigable publishers being determined that lack of pretty ballads
shall not be urged as an excuse for the shortcomings of professors
or amateurs. The chief number of the. above-mentioned Ballads
are graceful, plaintive, and pleasing compositions. Miss_Fricker's
songs are deservedly popular, and these will be sure to become
favourites.

" `Change,' by W. S. Wrighton, is a very pretty song. The
Sabbath,' by Abt, is of a higher order of merit ;:it is a very beauti-
ful duet, and will well repay careful study and execution. Miss
Lindsay has also two compositions one, Speak Gently,' a duet,
we can recommend. We must likewise bear witness to the elegant
manner in which these songs and duets are got up ; besides the
matter being excellent, the outsides will ornamentany drawing-
room, being resplendent in crimson, purple, and gold."— Vide
