THE MUSICAL TIMES.

Now ready,

ORATORIOS, NOVELLO'S OCTAVO EDITION,

In a new handsome binding, whole scarlet cloth, gilt. Haydn's "Creation" .... ... Price 3s. Handel's "Messiah" ......... ,, 4s.

" Judas Maccabaeus" ...,, 4s. " Samson" ......... ,, 4s.

We are indebted to an eminent publisher of sacred music, Mr. J. Alfred Novello, of 69, Dean-street, Soho, London, for copies of several very beautiful oratorios, intended for the use of those who compose the audience at the performance of these sublime com- positions. They are not music-stand, but proper and elegant hand- books, such as any lady or gentleman may carry about, and make use of, without the least inconvenience. Moreover, they are sold at a price so cheap, that the purchase of them need not supersede for one instant an inclination to possess folio editions. They are what they purport to be-audience books of the cheapest, best, and most elegant and convenient kind ever published. Those before us consist of Handel's Messiah, Judas Maccabaens, Samson, and Haydn's Creation-all works of the highest order of musical genius. Mr. Novello appears to complain that a class of unprincipled publishers* have availed themselves of the labours of his brain, to put money into their pockets. There is nothing peculiar in his case. The race of the appropriators of others' inventions, date from the days of Tubal-Cain, whose first pair of tongs were imitated by a neighbour- ing tinker, and never were they more numerous than they are at present. Nor are they confined to musical publishers. The worst class of them compile and publish cheap newspapers, and so con- trive to live upon the abstractions of our brain. Mr. Novello is not worse off than other labourers in the mental vineyard, and must trust to posterity to do him justice. May his days be many, pros- perolus, and happy! But, if we outlive him, assuredly there will be one on earth prepared to do justice to his endeavours to bring good music to the hearth of every family in England.-The Hull Advertiser.
