THE OCEAN QUADRILLES. By the celebrated JOHN BLEWITT. Founded on the most
favourite of Dibdin's Sea Songs. Illustrated, 3s. The spirit-stirring
reminiscences evoked by the Ocean Quadrilles (full of life and vigour)
belong to that glorious period when the fleets of England were, as they now
again are, sweeping the seas. Every patriotic assembly should dance to
Blewitt's Ocean Quadrilles.

EXCELSIOR. Ballad; Words by LONGFELLOW, Music by MISS LINDSAY. Beautifully
Illustrated, 2s. 6d.
"Some beautiful words of Longfellow are here wedded to a beautiful melody
by this talented lady. This ballad is quite out of the way of the
common-place productions of the day. It is evidently a heart-offering both
from the poet and the gifted musician."
