Il and Choral Advocates the cheapest and
best Musical Paper in the world This Journal
(Which has heretofore been published monthly
commences its fifth year in January next, and
thenceforwarded il will be published every two
weeks-on every other Thursday thereby giving
more than twice as much matter without any in
crease in price. Each number contains sixteen
quarto pages four of which are new music con-
sisting of gees hymn tunes, chants, anthems dedi-
cation and holyday pieces, and, in short, every
variety of music adapted to purposes of religious
worship, TO public occasions and to the home cir
Gle; all of which will be Of practical character
and such as can be sung by persons of ordinary
musical attanments. In the editorial department
OF the ReUieio are engaged, lin addition to Mr.
Cady, the former edorO gentlemen of the highest
talent and ripest musical experience, among whom
are, George F. Root, Vim. B. Bradbury, Thomas
Hastings, and Lowell Mason and its circle of COR
respondence, home and foreign, is complete. The
ReUiea0 will also be a regular medium for the an
nouncement OF new musical publications by all the
leading publishing houses in the Union. The SUBJ
scrption list of this paper is larger than that
of any similar journal in the world, and the new
arrangements, rendering it the cheapest as well as
Gt is hoped) the most valuable paper ever pub
lished, must largely increase its already unparal
elled circulation.
Terms: One dollar per amman, or siz copies for
fre dollars, always in advance.
NS- The music alone in volume would cost
over five dollars in the usual form. Besides this
there will be an immense amount Of musical news,
essays, criticisms, instructions, &c., &c., all for
only one doAar! Every one feeling particle OF
interest in the ofmusc will surely subscribe.
