NEW WEEKLY PERRY ,HCAL OF URBANA L AIUSIti.
THE MUSIC BO'JK, price Sixpence, printed
from engraved Plate.., on paper the mud music size, published
SATURDAY, price %id., or in Monthly Parte.
The high price at whr or*inal music is usually sold, places it out
of the reach of many w no would otherwise gladly purchase it ; and it
is therefore thought that an attempt to bring the works of the most
eminent composers within a more reasonable cost, will be favourably
received by the ',nblic. With this view it Ia intended to publish,
under the title r, f " The Music Book," original songs, and other com-
positions, by ~minent composer', native and foreign, engraved and
printed in the best manner, in the usual music size, and sold for Six-
Pence thr A combining the greatest excellence of composition and
elegance appearance with the lowest possible prior.
In MAI of their intentions the proprietors are able to mention the
names of Mrs. k Beckett, M. W Balfe, Benedict, J. L Hatton, Edward
Lode t, Alexand Lou, T. O. Reed, Prank Romer,Tully,
cent. Wallace. who, with other popular Composers, have already eon-
ktouted to TILE MUSIC BOOK.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" This in a new Weekly Periodkal of Original Music, the erre number
of which hart just appeared. The exorbitant price of music has long
been n subject of just and general o mplsint, and yet Pile or nothing
has been done to remove it. While every claw of literary publication
has been brought more and more within the reach of the whole read-
ing public, musical works continue to be sold an n ally luxuries, be-
pied the means of thousands who, from ta• te and education, are per-
fectly able to use, appreciate, and enjoy them. To remedy this great
evil, and to render the supply of music of a high class mere propor-
tionate to the daily increase in the demand for it, caused by the 'mow-
ing love and knowledge of the art among the educated censers of
society, is the professed object of this new periodical. For the com-
plete fulfilment of this object, the Best number, just published, fur-
nishes an ample pledge. It consists of a song. Sing, Maiden, Sing,'
the poetry by Barry Cornwall, and the ruusicby Balk ; which, minted
in the same st3k elegaece, weuld have been told at a music-ahop
fur five times the price. ilalfe's melody is in his best manner —well
suited to the poet's Imaginative verses, exceedingly flowing, eraceful,
and singable, with Anne happy touches of novelty, partleukrly the
prolonged note on the last bar but one, forming a beautiful clone. The
instrumental accompaniment, in arpeggios of triplets, is very ele-
gant."—Daily News.
" We hail this number as the first instalment of a debt long due to
the music-loving millions. The exorbitant price of all mss cal pub-
lications has hitherto had the effect of confining to the privileged few
an enjoyment intended by Nature for the many. The prevent under-
Viking is therefore entitled to the mos'. unqualified pmise of those
who love the art, and are desirous that others should love it also. We
have, in the number before ue, an original, and exceeding) pretty
song by Palk, accompanied in a simple and unaffected style. The
melody is one which is destined to haunt tin in our quiet hour,. The
work is beautifully got up ; and, although tweed at no low a price, the
engraving of the mune is fully equal to that printed by the first mimic
pnbliehers in the metropolis. We cordially recommend • The Munc
Book' to all who witted wish to town a valuable modern musical
library at an exceedingly small outlay."—
Douglas Jerrold's News-
pa
"This new lyrical publication will be most extensively popular. It
contains a delighted song. • Sing, Maiden, Sing,' by Barry Cornwall.
the Intrie, original, by Balk. The names of the bmtmadern musicians
and poets are mentioned as contributors to the work. The specimen
before us is faultless. The designs on the wrapper, by Richard Doyle,
are chefs-deeuvre of artistic invention and execution."—Bell's Life in
London
A New Weekly Original Periodical has just been commenced
under the above title, and it promises to be a most interesting and
spirited undertaking. The tint number, now Wore us (published in
a loose and very cleverly designed wrapper, exhibiting mu is under
all circumstances, and in every Flume, from • old Orpheus,' with Ws
lute, 'atrung with poets' sinews,' to the in dervorgan-grindee),
contains a new song, by Balk, with words from the works of Barry
Cornwall. Judging from the tint number of the work, extensive
popularity and rapport must, in all probability, attend its progress.
The promisee, too, held out of future compositions which ate to appear
in • The Music Book' are admirably varied and attractive."—Mors-
lag Advertis•r.
' This seems to us one of the most novel and pleasing extensions of
the now prevailing nyetem of cheapness. Excerent original mune IS
here proposed to be presented to us, with no abatement even in the
elegance of its petting forth, at one-filth of its usual cost. Both songs
in the numbers before us are pretty, and likely to be popular; and the
Salle. actually announced as contributors to the work carry with
them the best promise. We shall see the success of an undertaking
like this with peculiar sadefaction. It Ia the wider diffusion of an ele-
gant and hunianbing luxury, hitherto for mere trade purposes most
absurdly limited. If the public second such an effort, they will gain
by it much mote than its immediate advantages."—Examiner.
" This Li another of the landab:e endeavours which are now made
to reduce the extravagant price of musical publications, and to bring
the works of our best composers, which are at present one of the ex-
pensive luxuries of the rich, within the reach of the meat body of the
educated public. The first number, now before us, is a sati- factory
specimen of the work. Printed in the same handsome manner, its
price at a music-shop, instead of sixpence. would be lialf-a.crown;
and moreover the wrapper, designed by Belle, is so full of fancy that
it has no small value as a work of art —John Bull.
