The charms of melody. Being a select collection of the newest and most approved love and sentimental songs, lately Sung at the Theatres, Public Gardens, and in the politest private Companies; many of which were never before printed, particularly all the Songs and Airs in the favourite Opera of the Duenna. - The Editor leaves this Select Collection to speak for itself; for in this venal Age, when the Art of Puffing is reduced into a Science, the justest Character of a Work is generally considered, as merely the Production of some interested Bookseller, or Hireling Scribbler. He must, however, assure his Reader, that numberless Errors, which dis[pl]ace some other Collections, are corrected in this; and that it will be found worthy the Perusal of all those, who have a love for Poetry, and are moved by ̀̀the Concord of sweet Sound.''
