A Musical Periodical, designed to circulate
among the homes Of the people, is no new idea,
for tho want of it has been hong felt that there
ire but very few persons muscally inclined, to
whom tho thought has not naturally suggested
itself. In Europe, a dozen works Of this class
exist, which cirSulatcI hundreds Of thousands Of
copies, They are looked for with the same OK
pectancy as, the weekly papers, or the monthly
magazines. Their popularity arises, not so much
from the fact that they are cheap, as from the
fact that they are collection atlording variety
in style, vocal and instrumental, calculated to
suit every tasto. Their cheapness is, of course,
n recommendation, for in all Of them, rs in FOR
TUNES MUSICAL HOST, the music given for
fifty cents, would, in separate pieces ut the Inu-
sic stores, cost over three dollars. saving,
taking into consideration tho admirable manner
of their production, that no one, in these times
can afford to dcspise.
This monthly publication, now in the COM
mencement Of its third year, has met with a sue
cess altogether unprecedented in the history of
Musical experiments, either in America, or in
Europe. a-.ifr .0. a ,o- ., .a
