THE FIFTH VOLUME OF

SELECT SCOTTISH MELODIES:

With SYMPHONIES and ACCOMPANIMENTS to each Melody, for the PianoForte, Violin, and Violoncello, composed by HAYDN and BEETHOVEN; and with Songs written for the Melodies, by JoANNA BAILLIE, Sir WALTER SCOTT, BART. WILLIAM SMYTH, Esq. ROBERT BURNS, and JAMES HOGG. To which is added, A Cantata by BURNS, called The JOLLY BEGGARS, containing Songs of exquisite humour, by a Soldier, a Widow, a Fiddler, a Tinker, and a Bard; with Chorusses: Set for Voices, and for the Piano-Forte, Violin, and Violoncello, by HENRY R. BISHOP.

Those desirous of having this Volume, in order to complete their copies of the Scottish Work, and of securing early impressions of a very fine Engraving prefixed to it, will please to send their names to Mr Thomson.

Lately published as above,

A New and Improved Edition of the Scottish Volumes I. II. III. and IV. with Symphonies and Accompaniments chiefly composed by HAYDN, who, justly proud of the originality and beauty of these Compositions, and of his happy adaptation of them to the character of each Melody, wrote thus emphatically to the Editor, when he sent the Music: "I boast of this Work, and by it I flatter myself my name will live in Scotland many years after my death.

"HAYDN."

In this Edition, also, some of the Melodies which were found rather of n inconvenient pitch for voices in general, have been put into other keys; nd some have been expunged to make room for others of greater merit. The Frontispieces, too, and most of the Music-Plates, have been re-enraved; and neither pains nor expence spared to render the Collection as erfect as possible in all respects.

The POETRY will be found to contain the most select and complete Colection of Songs, ancient and modern, English as well as Scottish, hitherto ffered to the Public, including ALL the Songs of BURNS, the greater part f which were written purposely for this Work, the only Work in which ey can be found set to Music.

The Poet (as appears from his Correspondence with Mr Thomson) in riting his amatory Songs, had generally in his eye some bewitching fair ie that warmed his imagination. Mr Thomson, desirous of ascertaining, far as he could, who were the Poet's fair inspirers, lately applied to Gilrt Burns, and to such friends as lived in daily intimacy with the Poet, r that information; and by their obliging communications, together with e notices by the Poet himself, he has been enabled, in the new Edition, prefix to a number of the Songs the names of the Heroines.

Mr THOMSON has also published,

SELECT WELSH MELODIES, in Three Volumes; collected by him in a Tour through North Wales, and now first adapted for THE VOICE; with Characteristic ENGLISH VERSES, written by

MRS GRANT,

MRS HUNTER,

MRS ÓPIE,

JOANNA BAILLIE,

ROBERT BURNS,

ALEXANDER BOSWELL, ESQ.
M. G. LEWIS, ESQ.

S. ROGERS, ESQ.

WILLIAM SMYTH, ESQ.

SIR WALTER SCOTT, BART. &C.

With SYMPHONIES and ACCOMPANIMENTS to each Melody, for the PianoForte, Violin, and Violoncello, (and many of the Melodies arranged for two Voices,) composed chiefly by HAYDN and BEETHOVEN.

Mr THOMSON has likewise published,

SELECT IRISH MELODIES, in Two Volumes; with Characteristic English Verses, chiefly by the same distinguished Poets. With SYMPHONIES and ACCOMPANIMENTS to each Melody, for the Piano-Forte, Violin, and Violoncello, (and many of the Melodies arranged for two Voices,) composed wholly by BEETHOVEN.

The above Works put the Public in possession of all that appeared to the Editor the most valuable and worthy of preservation in the National Music of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales: united with Poetry the most interesting that could possibly be obtained for it, including more than one hundred Songs of BURNS.

The SYMPHONIES, in all the Volumes, form Introductions and Conclusions to each Melody, full of matter perfectly original, and diversified in the most fanciful and beautiful manner, according to the plaintive, spirited, or playful character of the Melodies for which they were composed.

The ACCOMPANIMENTS are equally appropriate and delightful. In Chamber-singing, the Piano-Forte alone will be found highly satisfactory; and when the additional Accompaniments for the Violin and Violoncello are joined with it, either in public or private Concerts, the effect will be felt in the highest degree excellent; for the parts united, exhibit combina tions of harmony so rich, varied, and ingenious, as to give a new and power ful charm to the Melodies, such as will perpetuate their celebrity, and render this Work equally interesting to singers, to instrumental perform ers, and to every person of taste.

The Scottish Volumes contain each FIFTY Melodies; and are embell ed with Engravings from the Birks of Invermay, John Anderson my Jo the Soldier's Return, James V. disguised as a Tinker, and a capital P trait of BURNS.-Price One Guinea each Volume: the separate parts the Violin and Violoncello, 6 shillings per Volume,

The Welsh Volumes contain each THIRTY Melodies, and are embėlished with Engravings of Llangollen Vale, the Gipsey Fortune-teller, Conway Castle.-Price One Guinea each Volume, including the separaz parts for the Violin and Violoncello.

The Irish Volumes contain each THIRTY Melodies, and are embellis with Engravings of St Cecilia, from the picture of Sir Joshua Reyno and the Origin of Painting by Cunego, after the painting of David Al Price One Guinea per Volume, including the separate Violin and Vio cello parts.

The Works are to be had complete, or in single Volumes, of G. THOMS Trustees' Office, Exchange, Edinburgh: at Preston's, 97, Strand; at ! chall's, 133, New Bond Street; J. Murray's, Albemarle Street, Lone.. and at J. Cumming's, Dublin.
