Book excerpt: Excerpt from Linden Harp: A Rare Collection of Popular Melodies, Adapted to Sacred and Moral Songs, Original and Selected; Illustrated; Also, a Manual of Musical Instruction First. Instead of following the common method of spreading music, we have made use of musical signs, repeats, &c., in such a manner as to afford the most music for the least pos sible space: and we know of no work of the same size which contains such a. Large number and variety of tunes. Second. We have consulted the tastes of youth generally; in.the selection of melodies, in providing a liberal supply of chorus tunes, also in the introduction of pictures. The intro duction of plates in a musical work is truly a novel feature, yet it is believed, that all who examine them will admit that they are of a character to add interest to the work, and deepen the impressions made by the music and poetry. Third. The collection of dialogues in song has been pre pared with care, and will doubtless be hailed by teachers and scholars as an important acquisition in their preparation for exhibitions, &c. Fourth. Some of the music, and much of the poetry is original, and the greater part of the remainder has been ar ranged expressly for this work. Fifth. In the writing and selection of songs no pains have been spared to introduce such sentiments as tend to elevate the morals, refine and purify the affections, win youth into the paths of knowledge, virtue, and piety; and at the same time render the composition of a lively and pleasing char acter.
