PUBLICATIONS.

GOD SAVE TEE QUE N, 28.—" Mr. S. Nelson has produced a
capital arrangement of God Save the Queen,' for one or four
voices, exce,ding in effect, and scientific care, tverything that we
have seen. Just now, when all Englishmen are anxious to evince
their loyalty to their beloved Queen, this edition of the National
Anthem (with an additional stansa for the Prince of Wales) will
meet with a cordial welcome."—Vide Camoridge Advertiser, JAIL 8.

THE DESC.Rr FLOWER, 2s. 6d.—'• Mr. Barber has a par-
ticular knack of taking hold of words adapted fir song, which seem
to run of their own accord to his charming melodies. These songs
of his have a power the wearied and sad from their sorrow to save.'
• The Desert Flower' must inevitably be a favourite at this season,
when friends are meeting, and each thinks of his home far away'
The title-page has a very appropriate illustration by Selb."—Vide
Cambridge Advertiser, Jan. 8.
THE SOLDIER'S WIFE, 2s. 6d.—" We have here one of the
livelier of 31r. Barker's ballads; still, there is that tenderness
about it which belongs to all the melodies proceeding from the same
quarter. It is particularly suited to be sung in the festive halls and
gay saloons in this genial season of the year, and has a finely illus-
trated title "—Vide Cambridge Advertiser, Jan. S. •
I'M THINKING O'ER THE DAYS, MART, 25., postage free.—
" A most touching ballad, by George Barker. e have heard
nothing like it for a lo,ig while past. There is a sweetness about it,
which makes even sorrow delightful. It will be found to be quite a
treat by those who are pensively inclined. The words are given in
`Cocks's Musical Miscellany,' for January, 1851."—Vide Cambridge

COME WITH ME to the HAUNTED STREAM, 25.--" This
is a beautiful fairy song. Those who have heard it sung by Miss
Lucombe, will not want reminding of the almost unearthly effect
which was communicated to the very charming melody. The music
is by George Barker, and that is to say enough to recommend it to
all genuine lovers of the English ballad style."—Vide Cambridge Ad..

LABI fZKY'S GREAT QUADRILLE OF ALL NATIONS.
Dedicated, by special permission, to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert. London : Cocks and Co., New Burlington-street.—" This
quadrille richly merits the appellation of • Great' fastened upon it—
a more effective, spirit-stirring, or delightful one we never listened
to. The national airs of the different countries are cleverly intro-
duced The finale is a combination of each, concluding with ' God
save the Queen." We are greatly deceived if this does not prove
the quadrille of the year 1851.'—Vide Birmingham M,rcury, Dec.
