MEMOIRS OF MUSICK.  By the Hon. ROGER NORTH, Attorney-General to James I. Now first printed from the original MS. and edited, with copious Notes, by EDWARD F. RIMBAULT, LL.D., F.S.A., &c. &c.  Quarto; with a Portrait; handsomely printed in 4to.; half-bound in morocco, 15s.

This interesting MS., so frequently alluded to by Dr. Burney in the course of his “History of Music,” has been kindly placed at the disposal of the Council of the Musical Antiquarian Society, by George Townshend Smith, Esq., Organist of Hereford Cathedral.  But the Council, not feeling authorised to commence a series of literary publications, yet impressed with the value of the work, have suggested its independent publication to their Secretary, Dr. Rimbault, under whose editorial care it accordingly appears.

It abounds with interesting Musical Anecdotes; the Greek Fables respecting the origin of Music; the rise and progress of Musical Instruments; the early Musical Drama; the origin of our present fashionable Concerts; the first performance of the Beggar’s Opera, &c.

A limited number having been printed, few copies remain for sale:  unsold copies will shortly be raised in price to 1l. 10s. 6d.

Folio, price 30s.

THE CHORAL RESPONSES AND LITANIES
OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND
AND IRELAND.  Collected from Authentic Sources.  By the
Rev. JOHN JEBB, A.M., Rector of Peterstow.

The present Work contains a full collection of the harmonized compositions of ancient date, including nine sets of pieces and responses, and fifteen litanies, with a few of the more ancient Psalm Chants.  They are given in full score, and in their proper cliffs.  In the upper part, however, the treble is substituted for the “cantus” or “medius” cliff:  and the whole work is so arranged as to suit the library of the musical student, and to be fit for use in the Choir.

London:  GEORGE BELL, 186.  Fleet Street.
