if the performance at the Festival at all equal the promise, it will certainly deserve success, and will probably command it.

So Mr. Punch would say to every musical young lady, Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Pa and Ma and sisters three: Cram thy carriage full inside. On the box let Charley ride. Frederick, Arthur, and Augustus, if they've business to detain them, may rattle down by train and meet you in the transept. Come all ye who music love, and would its pleasures prove. Come and hear the Giant Handel, and "see what mighty strides he takes" in his great works. Listen for a while to his harmonious thunder, and let your ears be filled with sounds that for a lifetime may prove a pleasant memory.

Letters to the Editor.

CESAR'S TO CESAR.

SIR,-As one of the members of the Glee and Madrigal Union, I beg to correct an error in your critique on our last concert, where you state Mr. Land to have been the founder and great aider of the institution. It would be most ungracious of us did we not publicly acknowledge that we are entirely indebted to Mr. Cole of the Society of Arts, Adelphi, for first bringing us together, through Mr. Francis; and that we are entirely indebted to Mr. Hollis, and him alone, for imparting to us his profound knowledge of that branch of the art, and without whom we should not have been in a position to have gained those kind and favourable notices you and the other gentlemen of the press have so frequently bestowed upon us. Your insertion of this letter will confer a great favour.-Yours, &c. H. P.

"Every page of these volumes furnishes evidence of Mr. Chorley's reverence for music and just appreciation of the art, and every page offers pleasant reminiscences to the opera-goer of some thirty years' experience. No one singer of merit, or pretension to it, no distinguished composer of the period, is without his or her portrait. The faithfulness of the latter is creditable to the limner. Whether as a conscientious history, a graceful series of portraits, or an anecdotical record, the author must be congratulated on the work he has accomplished.”—Athenæum.

Thoroughly Revised and partly Rewritten,

Published under the immediate superintendence of the Composer.

Extract from Preface.

"A great number of Studies for the Pianoforte already exist, solely intended to form the mechanism of the fingers.

"In writing a series of short characteristic pieces, I have aimed at a totally different object.

"I wish to habituate both Students and Amateurs to execute a piece with the expression, grace, elegance, or energy required by the peculiar character of the composition; more particularly have I endeavoured to awaken in them a feeling for Musical Rhythm, and a desire for the most exact and complete interpretation of the Author's intentions.
