HAMILTON'S MODERN INSTRUCTIONS FOR SINGING. 5s.
HAMILTON'S MODERN INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PIANOFORTE. Forty-sixth Edition. 4s.
HAMILTON'S DICTIONARY OF 3500 MUSICAL TERMS. Forty-second Edition. 1s.
CLARKE'S CATECHISM OF THE RUDIMENTS OF MUSIC. Thirtieth Edition. 1s.
"These works are all favorites with professors, because they are
favourites with the pupils. Few know how to write a book of
instruction; but Hamilton did, because he knew thoroughly well how to
teach. The extreme popularity of these works (as may be noticed from
the number of editions they have passed through) has called forth many
imitations; but everybody will like the original, or prototype, rather
than the copy. The Dictionary is famous as the most copious and correct
extant; and the little catechism is as clever as it is
unpretentious."--Vide _Reading Mercury_, Oct. 22.
