There are two objections to this course, which render it, if rigidly adhered
and especially for little children. One is, that it is exceedingly wearisome, and therefore calculated to defeat the object in view,
which can only be effectually promoted by inducing a love for the art. Another
is, that there are many persons, both old and young, who cannot sing the

begin to learn to sing till they are past the age of twenty-one, and succeed, there
may almost invariably be discovered a flatness in some of their notes, which
proves that the ear has not acquired that extreme sensitiveness to nice gradations of sound, which is only the result of an early cultivation.
To effect the object, lively melodies in which the accents are strongly
marked, are better than any other, because the knowledge of the tune, which

But it is now necessary to explain

what are called the Diatonic scale, and the Chromatic scale. Let me remind
you that the interval between the two notes A and b on the staff is called a tone,
and, half that, the interval of a semitone.
The term Diatonic scale signifies a
scale consisting chiefly of whole tones
and the term Chromatic scale means

a scale consisting entirely of semitones.

The Diatonic scale is composed of the seven notes placed in their regular
order of progression, with the addition of the eighth, or first over again, in the
octave above. For example, one of the exercises which you have already frequently sung, forms a Diatonic scale.

NAMES OF THE INTERVALS* FORMED DY CHORDS AND DISCORDS.


we proceed to any further explanation of the nature of chords and
discords, it is necessary that the student should make himself acquainted with
the names of the intervals between each, and with their quantities, in reference
to the tones and semitones they contain.
Here let us recall to mind that the
interval between b and c, and between e and f, is always a semitone, miless

opinion of those who say that it is a misnomer to call the first note of the chord an interval. The
term is derived from the Latin iutervalhnn, a ditch, and the preposition intrr, between. There
can be no ivlcr in reference to one object, as in reference to two objects. One o'clock, for
example, is not an interval
but we may speak of the interval between one and two o'clock.

Another discord, which is often used with very good effect, is called
The Diminished Seventh. The discord of the diminished seventh differs

only from the discord of the dominant seventh in

this, that the intervals

of the

discord are diminished, or lessened, by raising the dominant root a semitone.

The diminished

seventh, however, only occurs in minor keys.

MODULATION.
When music is removed firom the key in which it may be written to another,
and the whole of the notes are played or sung one or more degrees higher or
lower than before, the change is called a transposition.
When a piece of music is played partly in one key, and we pass suddenly
and abruptly to another, the change is called a transition.
When the music, beginning in one key, glides gracefully and insensibly into
another, the change is called a modulation.
The art of modulating into different keys is very important, for the richest
and most varied effects in harmony are produced by a change of keys. To

We have here a movement written first in the key of c, and the same movement afterwards transjtosed, and written in the key of d. The difference of the

the other.
If in the middle of the movement, as written in c, we were to pass
suddenly into the key of d, and finish in that key, the change would be a
transition, and a most disagreeable transition it would be.
In order to glide gradually and insensibly from one key to another, without
any interruption of the music, or, in other words, to modulate, it is necessary

In most collections of psalm tunes harmonised for four voices, the parts are so
written that the tenor and counter appear above the air ; but the air in these
collections is intended to be sung by trchh voices, and the other parts by the
voices of men, in which case the air would

Poetry that con-

such especially we write), we would recommend the following course.
First, he should endeavour thoroughly to understand the principles we have
attempted to explain, relative to the science then let him take a simple air,

two equal voices. In so doing he will discover that the
chief intervals to be employed are thirds and sixths, but he must find out by his
ear alone, w^hen a sixth will produce a better effect than a third, and when a
third should be used as a tenth.
The choice of a third, sixth, or tenth, or of
any other consonant interval, must always depend upon the progression of the
air: there is no rule that can be laid down on the subject. When he has written
his second, he should look it carefully through to see that he has not introduced
any consecutive fifths or octaves, and then get some person to sing it with him.
If the effect be such as to please his unscientific friends, he has made one step,
which will encourage him to persevere, and in subsequent efforts he will find

for two voices, he should take the same airs and harmonise them for three, and
afterwards for four and five voices and not till he is somewhat expert in doing

With

respect to them, he

should commence in the same manner, first with trying to write simple airs,
such as might give pleasure to childhood, then with simple duets ; and never
attempt, until he has gained considerable knowledge

by

practice, the higher

order of compositions, lest he be discouraged by a failure, which, at the be-

ginning of his career, would be inevitable.


If he wish to write good vocal
music, for three or four voices, without instrumental accompaniments, he should
study the compositions of Webbe, who must be placed at the head of English glee*

This truth should keep in mind,
That friends without some faults are few and rare
And to those faults the proverb says,
"
should be sometimes blind,"
For we must learn to bear and to forbear.
Come, then, shake hands, be not still offended
Don't disdain to smile again.
For all is past and ended.
Come, let us be good friends again.

should we let our angry passions rise ?
Our quarrels only give us |)aiu,

fearful saints, fresh courage take

The clouds ye so much dread


Are big with mercies, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

His purposes will ripen fast,


Unfolding every hour
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,


And scan his work in vain

God is his own interpreter,


And he will make it plain.

Is ever

firm endures, while endless years


Their everlasting circles run.

From thee, the ever-flowing spring,


Our souls shall drink a fresh supply
While such as

Shall melt away,

Swift as an eagle cuts the air,


We'll mount aloft to thine abode ;
On wings of love our souls shall fly.
Nor tire amidst the heavenly road.

The moon

takes up the wondrous tale


nightly to the list'ning earth
Repeats the glory of her birth.

And

What though in solemn silence all


Move round the dark terrestrial ball ?
What though no real voice nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be found ?

In reason's ear they

all rejoice,

And

utter forth a glorious voice ;


For ever singing as they shine,

The hand that made us is divine."

"Let him, though he know no characters but those of his mother tongue, read
through the book as well as he can, and we will answer that he will, at the close, find
himself in the possession of much larger and clearer notions of general grammar, and
especially of comparative etymology, than he would have supposed possible at the outset.

He will find here an historical and analytical view, comprising the general ethnographical
relations of the Enghsh Language, and that, too, in a mucb more readable form than
he may imagine. At all events it will set him thinking, and, in whatever nook or
corner of the kingdom or of the world his lot may be cast, observing too for the very
dialect of the province will acquire a new interest, and help him in his studies."

statement that is to be found in the German work of Dr. Isler, with which it has been
compared throughout. But as Dr. Schmitz, in preparing his edition, was in possession of
some valuable sets of MS. notes which were inaccessible to Dr. Isler, the present work
contains a variety of remarks and observations made by Niebulir which do not occur in
the German edition, or any mere translation of the German. Almost every page of the
present work contains some' interesting remark of the Roman historian, which is not to be

and in ere rules arc made to do no more tlian their iiroiMjr duty. There is no necessity
to advocate a change which is actually in progress, as the works which are published

The plan of this work differs in one important


point from other works of a similar kind. The
sentences have been selected exclusively from
Caesar's Commentary on the Gallic War, instead
of being taken from different authors, as has
usually been the case.
There is an ob^'ions
advantage in this plan the same words are continually repeated by the same author in a simple
narrative
and the pupil thus becomes accustomed to his style, and finds the work of translation grow easier every day, which cannot be the
case when the extracts are taken from many different authors, whose style must of course vai'y
excecduigly." Pre/ace.
