Rollo in Holland Part 21

By I. B. WOODBURY, author of the "Dulcimer," "The Cythara," &c. &c.

_Extract from the Preface._

Here may be found Glees, Quartets, Trios and Songs, suited to every occasion. If merry, here are pieces that will add to merriment; if sad, harmonies that will soothe sadness. If longing for home fill the mind, the dear scenes that cl.u.s.ter there are painted in many a song. Requiems to the loved departed are also here. Indeed, almost every scene to which the chequered life of man is subject is here made the refrain of song.

For the Sabbath eve, when

"Softly fades the twilight ray Of the holy Sabbath day,"

and when music is particularly acceptable, the old tunes our fathers sang may be found in Part III. Part II. is somewhat more elaborate, and adapted to Sacred Concerts. That the book may tend to make man happier and better is the sincere desire of the author.

BY I. B. WOODBURY.

Mr. Woodbury's long residence in Europe, and his intimate acquaintance with the music and musical people of every section of our country, their wants and predilections, have imparted to him advantages hardly vouchsafed to any other man. To these qualifications he brings the vigor and elasticity of early manhood, and, after years of untiring and energetic devotion to this one subject, he has produced a volume of Sacred Music, rich in melody, chaste and harmonious in composition, simple in arrangement, and thoroughly adapted to the wants of his own country.

B. T. & C. have for sale _all the Music Books_ published. Traders, Teachers, and others supplied at the lowest cash price.

Constant use of it for more than twelve years has entirely confirmed my opinion.--_George B. Emerson._
