Sabbath-schools, Social Gatherings, Pic-Nics, Home Circles, BY L. O. EMERSON, This New and Valuable Work for Sabbath Schools has been much enlarged, and now contains over FIVE HUNDRED HYMNS, TUNES, AND SELECT PIECES; AND A NUMBER OF CHANTS, AND SHORT AND EASY ANTHEMS, FOR ANNIVERSARIES, MONTHLY CONCERTS AND OTHER SPECIAL OCCASIONS. The Tunes have been selected with much care, and comprise those recognized by Singers as the best in nearly every collection of Sacred Music. The Hymns have been chosen with special regard to PURITY, SWEETNESS, AND SIMPLICITY. The particular point of excellence in this collection, is its admirable Selection of Favorite Familiar Tunes and Music HITHERTO UNKNOWN IN SABBATH SCHOOLS. AS A BOOK OF WORDS AND MUSIC IT HAS NO SUPERIOR. A number of pieces have been especially composed for Anniversaries, the Death of a Scholar or Teacher, Monthly Concerts, Sunday School Celebrations, Pic-Nics, and other Special Occasions. In addition to the above, the Appendix contains a large variety of Choice Melodies for Children's Singing Parties, the Fireside and the Home Circle. The very low price at which "The Golden Harp" is sold, renders its possession available by every child, while its real worth as a collection of Hymns and Tunes, will commend it to the favor of all parents and teachers. Recommendatory Notices of the Religious Press. From the Christian Freeman, "The Golden Harp is becoming quite popular. From a careful perusal of it, we judge it worthy of adoption by our schools generally. We commend it to the attention of superintendents and teachers, as a valuable acquisition to their means of religious instruction and worship." From the Christian Watchman and Re flector. "For every occasion on which good music is desirable-and there are few, if any, on which it is not-something appropriate may be selected from this book, which contains more than five hundred choice pieces.' From the Schoolmaster. "It is an admirable collection of hymns and familiar tunes which must be found acceptab e to those who want a new music book for their Sabbath School. We have recommended it personally to our friends." From the Christian Register. "This is properly a book of hymns, as well as of tunes. It contains 435 hymns-long and short-and 120 tunes, the hyinns being scattered through the book on pages with the Itunes to which they are fitted. The selection of tunes is good, and the hymns are nearly all practical, and free from objectionable doctrine. This we consider essential, and an important recommendation of the book for the young, and we see no reason why it should not be generally adopted in our Sunday Schools." From the Puritan Recorder. "At the low price of twenty-five cents, Oliver Ditson & Co, furnish this new Sabbath' School Music Book, containing more than 500 Hymns, Tunes, and Select Pieces. The work is worthy the patronage of our Sabbath Schools," From the Olive Branch. "It contains upwards of five hundred hymns and tunes, including some of the best of all previous collections, together with a large number of new pieces which mn-t from their peculiar adaptation to the want of schools be come general favorites. We have never met with a book of Sabbath School Music which we cou'd so unreservedly recommend to the special attention of pastors, superintendents, and teachers, and to all persons interested in the moral and religious culture of the young." THE SPECIAL ATTENTION OF Clergymen, Sabbath-school Superintendents, Teachers, and Parents Is respectfully solicited for this work. A specimen copy, postage free, will be sent to any person wishing to examine it, upon the receipt of twenty-five cents. PRICE $2.50 PER DOZEN. SINGLE COPY, 25 CENTS. OLIVER DITSON & Co., Publishers, 277 Washington Street, Boston. The Golden Harp can be obtained of all Music Dealers, and of most of the principal Booksellers in the United States and the Canadas. FOR THE PIANO-FORTE. TO THE MUSICAL PUBLIC. In answer to the CAUTION to the Musical Public which made its appearance in the "Journal of Music," published by Messrs. Oliver Ditson & Co., we would respectfully state, that the "New Modern School," PURPORTING to contain all that is original, important and valuable in Mr. Richardson's former works-IS PRECISELY WHAT WE HAVE REPRESENTED THE WORK TO BE -with NO ATTEMPT of ours at "palming off" a remodelling of an old production. When such talent as Thalberg, Dreyschock, Mason senior and junior, Webb, Root, Bradbury, Baker, Jaell, Dresel, Gockel, Bergmann, Kreissmann, Muller, Trenkle, Baumbach, Bruce, and a host of other professors of Music, gave the highest testimonials to the intrinsic worth of the "Modern School," we did not hesitate to introduce all the VALUABLE PORTIONS of it in our NEW Modern School, WHATEVER MR. RICHARDSON'S REASON MAY HAVE BEEN for discarding the work-and furthermore our RIGHT to publish the new work, we believe to be the EEST AUTHORITY. The introduction of a portrait of the late Mr. Nathan Lichardson, was made at the suggestion of many who were his personal friends, and who have manifested their approbation, by using this work in their teaching, and recommending it to their friends. In conclusion, we would respectfully request all Teachers of music to ExAMINE our "NEW MODERN SCHOOL" and we have no doubt that it will be generally adopted. RUSSELL & TOLMAN. THE NEW MODERN SCHOOL Contains not only all the valuable portion of the Modern School, but a large number of pieces have been added of a pleasing, melodious, and instructive character, making the whole the most complete Instruction Book for the PianoForte ever published. It is eminently progressive in its character; it leads the pupil step by step from the simplest to the most elaborate pieces. Both teacher and pupil may feel every confidence that NO INSTRUCTION BOOK has ever been offered to the public which contains so many qualifications for their approval as THE NEW MODERN SCHOOL.

Composer of "The Haymakers," "The Flower Queen," "The Shining Shore," "Rosalie, the Prairie Flower," etc.; Author of "The Sabbath Bell," "The Shawm," "The Academy Vocalist," etc. The best evidence of the manner in which Mr. Root's new book is received by the public is afforded by the fact that we have already had occasion to send to press THIRTY-TWO THOUSAND COPIES, though it is yet in the beginning of its first season. It contains about half as much again more matter than any other of the new books, affording room for great variety and completeness in all its departments. It contains an ample and careful selection of the old, well-known tunes, which are so generally considered indispensable in Singing-Schools as well as Choirs. Mr. Root succeeded in making arrangements with the proprietors of the copyrights of these to use all that he desired. Yet its NEW TUNES are of course its main feature. These are from a variety of sources, including a large number from Mr. Root which have never before been published. There are also liberal contributions from Dr. Mason, Mr. Bradbury, and other eminent composers. NEARLY ONE HUNDRED Anthems and Set Pieces, most of which are new, are included in its pages, affording the most ample variety for special occasions and the ordinary church-services. THE SINGING SCHOOL DEPARTMENT is very full, including over three hundred Exercises and Secular Pieces for Practice, more than two hundred of which are Songs, Part-Songs, Glees, Rounds, or other pieces set to words. This portion of the work includes also a brief Manual for Musical Instruction, prepared expressly for it by Dr. Lowell Mason. By a new arrangement, the music is nearly always printed with but one part on a staff, while two-thirds of the tunes are on large type, and all on very clear, distinct type. For sale by Booksellers generally. Single copies sent by us to teachers for examination, by mail, post-paid, on receipt of Seventy-Five Cents. Price in New York, $8 per dozen. THE PEOPLE'S TUNE BOOK: A CLASS-BOOK OF CHURCH MUSIC FOR CHOIRS, CONGREGATIONS, AND SINGING-SCHOOLS. BY LOWELL MASON, Dr. of Music. Besides containing many excellent new tunes, the PEOPEE'S TUNE BOOK forms especially one of the best collections of the most useful and popular old tunes ever issued, and, with its large, clear type, with one part on a staff, and but two tunes on a page, cannot fail to be very popular as a Singing-School Book, as well as for Choirs and Congregations. Price in New York, $6 per dozen. HASTINGS' CHURCH MUSIC. BY THOMAS HASTINGS, Dr. of Music. The many friends of Dr. Hastings will welcome this work, which collects in one volume the choicest results of the labors for two score years, of this eminent composer of Church Song. It has, indeed, been prepared at the suggestion of friends, who desired to possess in one volume those pieces which have proved most popular and useful in all the author's previous works. Like the PEOPLE'S TUNE BOOK, it is printed from clear large type, two tunes on a page. Every Choir and Musical Association should have a set of this book. Price in New York, $6 per dozen. BRADBURY'S ANTHEM BOOK: A COLLECTION OF ANTHEMS, CHORUSES, OPENING AND CLOSING PIECES; ADAPTED TO THE WANTS OF CHOIRS, MUSICAL ASSOCIATIONS, CONVENTIONS, ETC., BY WILLIAM B. BRADBURY. The want of a new Anthem Book which should contain a greater variety of pieces for the various occasions of ordinary or special religious services than it is possible to include in an ordinary collection of Church Music, has led to the preparation of the present volume, which collects together the favorite old pieces, and presents many new ones, especially such as are suitable for opening and closing worship.

LIGHTE & BRADBURY'S PATENT INSULATED FULL IRON FRAME FRAME NEW NEW SCALE GRAND & SQUARE PIANO-FORTES. The Insulators between the iron frame and wooden portions of the instrument, prevent the tinny, or metallic tone, so justly com plained of in the ordinary use of the Iron Frame, and give freedom to the vibratory portions of the instrument; thereby insuring a durability hitherto unattained, while the singing quality, power, and richness of tone, are greatly enhanced; thus entitling the Insulated Iron Frame to the first position in modern improvements to the Piano-Forte. Testimonials in regard to the superiority of our New Scale Patent Insulated Piano-Fortes. "I have examined the Piano-Fortes of Lighte & Bradburys with entire satisfaction. I know not that there are any others better, either in our own country or elsewhere." DR. LOWELL MASON. "In clearness, richness, and volume of tone, delicacy, elasticity of touch, and fine repeating action, I have never played upon their equal." H. A. WOLLENHAUPT. "Being requested to express my opinion of your New Scale Patent Insulated Iron Frame Piano-Fortes, I am happy to say that I can accord with your wishes most cheerfully, as I have rarely found an Instrument that has afforded me so much pleasure. In volume, richness, evenness, and purity of tone, and in delicacy of touch, they certainly excel, as well as in that beautiful singing quality so desirable, yet so seldom found." WILLIAM MASON. "I have never played upon so rich and heavy a tone Square Piano-Forte." ARTHUR NAPOLEON. "I am astonished and delighted with the New Scale Iron Frame Piano-Fortes made by you. There must be a splendid future for Lighte & Bradbury Piano-Fortes." GEO. F. ROOT. GEO. F. BRISTOW. "I have never played upon so fine an instrument." ני "I consider them as to beauty, richness, fullness and equality of tone, as well as their agreeable, elastic touch, equal if not superior to any Pianos made in this country or Europe' KARL WELS. "In power, quantity, and equality of tone, they certainly excel; while for that peculiar rich and singing tone so invaluable as an accompaniment to the voice, I have never met their equal." C. BASSINI. "In strength, purity, and richness of tone, together with extraordinary vibratory qualities, they rank second to none." GEO. H. CURTIS. "They surpass very much in quality and brilliancy all the instruments I have ever seen. Their great power and pleasant touch give them the preference in the schools of this city over all others." MARCUS COLBURN. "I cannot refrain from saying, after some fourteen years' knowledge of your Piano-Fortes, and after using some 200 in schools and otherwise, that I consider your New Scale Patent Iron Frame the best Piano-Forte I ever saw."

The Review anD WORLD aims to be impartial and just, yet appreciative. It aims to do ustice to its readers, as well as to composers, authors, artists, and manufacturers. MUSICAL ESSAYS. Short practical essays on the various topics of interest which may arise will find place in Its columns. MUSICAL INSTRUCTION. It will be hereafter, as it has been heretofore, the aim of THE REVIEW AND WORLD to be of practical value to its readers. Dr. LOWELL MASON, Messrs. GEO. F. ROOT, WM. B. Bradbury, and other of the leading teachers in the country, have, from time to time, given in its columns Courses of Instruction in the various departments of music. Similar series of lessons will be given in the future. MUSICAL TALES, Of a select character, mostly founded on musical history, are translated from the French or MUSIC. Each number contains four pages of choice music, consisting of Songs, Duets, Trios, Quartets, Part Songs, Anthems, Sentences, Motets, Sabbath Evening Melodies, together with a small proportion of such instrumental music as it is supposed will be likely to be of interest and value to the largest number of our subscribers. OUR ADVERTISING Is hardly of less interest to musical readers than the other matter. Here may be found the earliest and fullest announcements of new music, books, instruments, and other matters of which it is important that they should be advised.

Ir is well known how steadily Beethoven refused to make alterations in those parts of the soli in his "Missa," as well as in the Ninth Symphony, which were too high or too difficult for the singers, a refusal which caused Miss Henrietta Sontag to exclaim at last: "Well, then, for heaven's sake, let us go on being tormented." However, there was one alteration in favor of the basso in the last part of the Ninth Symphony to which Beethoven submitted. The original idea is this: -$250 00 Per square of the space of eight lines agate solid, (seventeen squares to a column,) each insertion,.. One column, each insertion, One half column, 64 (and more joyful ones.) Beethoven altered this for the singer, who could not reach E and F, thus: Although Beethoven declared the "Missa Solennis" to be his best work, yet it is comparatively unknown.
