AT length we have the satisfaction of seeing an edition of HANoirfs Messiah in a complete state. It is curious that till now no edition but a German one existed for the use of those amateurs who chose to examine the score of this great -tvoik ; and in this copy MozAter's contributions were so mixed up with HANoxios original matter, that none but those thoroughly tequainted with 1 he characteristics of style displapiti !,y the two masters could tell which was the properly of either.

Oh! where do Fairies Mile their heads." The Poetry by THOMAS H. BAYLEY*, the Symphonies and Accompaniments by I-WIRY R. BISHOP. TII/S song is prettily conceived.

Catalogue c/ Messrs. Boosey and Son's Musical Library.
WE have examined the present Catalogue of Messrs. BOOSEY, which contains a well-chosen variety of vocal and instrumental pieces, worthy the attention of those amateurs who would be acquainted with the multifarious styles of music which are now to be found in the writers of Germany, France, and Italy. Concertos, Trios, Rondos, Sonatas, &c., of every distinguished composer, Italian Opera Music, German and English Songs, French Romances, with Church and Organ Music, Full Overtures in parts for Orchestras, and arranged for four hands on the Pianoforte are to be found in the Catalogue. A Circulating Musical Library as sists the subscriber on this material point.—that he becomes a sight-player, from the consequence of readingcontinually fresh music. This is an advantage not to be despised.
