greatest need OF praise for such pieces have from
time to time appeared in Backwood's Magazine,

Schiller's ideas well as his words. There is also
sttached to this volume very Interesting and well
written biographical sketch of Schiller, in which
additions are made to the information of late

" The Pope and the Sultan" the words written both
in English and German and which cannot TAIL IN
elciting good laugh from all who hear H. Then
there is the Ionian Waltz" arranged for the Pr
