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.''

Containing a complete collection, and account, of the most distinguished artists, who have flourished in the art of painting, at Rome, Venice, Naples, Florence, and other cities of Italy; in Holland, Flanders, England, Germany, or France; from the year 1250, when the art of painting was revived by Cimabue, to the year 1767; including above five hundred years, and the number of artists amounting to near one thousand four hundred. Extracted from the most authentic writers who have treated on the subject of painting, in Latin, Italian, Spanish, English, French, and Low Dutch. To which are added, two catalogues; the one, a catalogue of the disciples of the most famous masters; for the use of those, who desire to obtain a critical knowledge of the different hands, and manners, of the different schools. - The other, a catalogue of those painters, who imitated the works of the eminent masters so exactly, as to have their copies frequently mistaken for originals. The whole being digested in a more easy and instructive method, than hath hitherto appeared; and calculated for general entertainment and instruction, as well as for the particular use of the admirers and professors of the art of painting. By the Rev. M. Pilkington, A.M. vicar of Donabate and Portraine, in the diocese of Dublin.
