THIS most curious combination is presented to the public at a most appropriate season, when those things alone which are known to be agreeable to HER MAJESTY, take with the public. In a small compass several millions of waltz combinations are packed, leaving to the lover of harmony the grateful employment of making an infinite and endless variety of changes; all this quantity of excellent music is now to be purchased at the trifling cost of one half guinea. Few things for presents could be more acceptable to musical persons, or better adapted to call forth the talent of the youthful student.

[MEM. TO BINDER.-The last Index published was erroneously numbered Index to the "Seventh" Volume,
instead of being Index to the "Tenth" Volume, which it was.]

may be wanting to complete sets, CAN BE HAD AT THE OFFICE.

The binder will place the monthly pages of contents, in succession, at the end of the volume.
The pink work, Le Follet, is to precede it, and the whole to form a connected series.

Such of the ancient portraits as were originally published uncoloured, cau be had at the office, coloured
in the same beautiful manner as those recently published.
