TO THE
THIRD NUMBER.
Ik presenting the Third Number of this work to the Public, the Pubi lisher begs leave to offer his acknowledgments for the very liberal patronage with which it has been honoured; and to express a hope that the unabated zeal of those who have hitherto so admirably conducted it, will enable him to continue it through many future Numbers with equal spirit, variety, and taste. The stock of populair Melodies is far from being exhausted; and there is still iu reserve an abundance of beautiful Airs, which call upon Mr. Moore, in the, language he so well understands, to save them from the oblivion to. which they are hastening. |
