Vlll i INTRODUCTION, It is scarcely advisable, unless you have some reason to suppose you will be asked but once, to put forth your best song foremost, lest you labour under the discomfiture of pleasing less as you proceed further, but let it be the second, or even the third. Beware of imitating Ned Softly, who consumed amorn- ing in choosing between the respective merits of You sing your song with so much art, AND Your song you sing with so much art. but, when called on be ready prepared, without pouncing on the company the instant you are selected, but waiting a decent interval. Lastly. Eat,— but as you value your voice, beware of drinking. Comic Songs. On this matter we "had a thing to say—but let it go." They are useful auxiliaries, occa- sionally interspersed, but no general makes up his army of sharp-shooters, and after all, they seem to us rather as a vehicle for those who cannot sing, but, if it were allowed, could relate a humourous tale. Our limits preclude further remark ; and in thus con- tributing to the stock of harmless and elegant amusement, we flatter ourselves, from the great care and diligence used in the selection, we shall not be charged with presumption in offering it as the best and choicest collection of songs that has been submitted to the public.
