If any portion is especially noticeable for quality it is the Clarionet, Viol di Gamba, Harmonic Flute, and Piccolo, in the Choir Organ; the Cornopean and Bourdon in the Swell, and the Diapasons and Trumpet in the Great. The Choir Organ is rich and full, yet delicately voiced. The pedals are concave and radiating, a plan which places the remoter keys nearer, and their down pressure more suited to the changing positions of the feet of the organist. The composition pedals to the Great Organ act also upon the Pedal Organ, and bring on suitable stops to match the Great. The whole of the action and all the arrangements are new, and the touch is smooth and good. The case is oak, panelled, and slightly carved; the front pipes, planted in a massive oak cornice, are of spotted metal, and are to be supported in their places by brass bars, which Mr. Skidmore, of Coventry, the eminent worker in mediæval art, will supply. The performance included an Organ Fantasia, by Hesse; Andante, from Beethoven's "Symphony in C," and Rossini's Mosé in Egitto; the air, "In native worth;" the march from Mendelssohn's Athalie; the Fugue, "A Minor," by Sebastian Bach; Rossini's "Cujus Animam;" Andante, by Haydn, played on the soft stops; Kücken's "Ave Maria," and Mendelssohn's No. 3, Organ Sonata, which were all admirably executed by Mr. Haynes, organist of the Priory Church.

NEW AND REVISED EDITION. Price 12s.' THE VOICE AND SINGING. "The Formation and Cultivation of the Voice for Singing.' By ADOLFO FERRARI London: Duncan Davison & Co., 244 Regent Street. "The great and deserved success of this work has brought it, in no long time, to a second edition, carefully revised, and enriched with a number of additional exercises which greatly increase its value. "Since its first publication this book has met with general acceptance, and is now used as a vade-mecum by many of the most eminent and intelligent vocal instructors both in the metropolis and the provinces. We say vocal instructors, because it is only to instructors that works of this class can be of material use. Singing is not an art which can be learned by solitary study with the help of books, and those who are self-taught (as it is called) are always badly taught. But a good treatise, in which the principles and rules of the art, founded on reason and experience, are clearly expressed, is of infinite value, first to instructors, in assisting them to adopt a rational and efficient method of teaching, and next to pupils themselves, in constantly reminding them of, and enabling them to profit by, the lessons of their master. In both these ways Signor Ferrari's work has been found pre-eminently useful."-Illustrated News. LONDON: DUNCAN DAVISON & CO., 244 Regent Street, W. AIRS, BALLADS, &c.
