Bound in Cloth9 Price $1.25. A new musical novel, well written, and very interest-ing. Madame Nordica, Jean de Reszke, and Sir Arthur Sullivan figure as principal characters. Mr. Mansfield is one of England's foremost theorists, and is abreast with the times. The work is well adapted for self-study. It is a thoroughly practical work. Each chapter contains exercises to be worked out, besides numerous questions which embrace the subject matter of the chapter. W e have, for a year, been searching for a thorough and easily comprehended work written in the English language, and have found it in Dr. Mansfield's work. It contains all the salient features of Prout, Bich-ter, Jadassohn, etc., but is in a more practical and easy form. W e most heartily recommend the work to teachers who propose forming classes in Har-mony, or to those who will take up the study alone.

PUBLICATIONS OF The S. Brainard's Sons Co.. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. Complete Catalogues Mailed Free. What Instruction Book Shall I Use ? The one that makes the teachers' and pupils' work must pleasant, and leads to the bestand quickest results, is the only sensible answer to the above question. The late I>r. Karl Merz was not only a thorough musician, but a practical and suc-cessful teacher of many years' ex-perience. It is, therefore, not sur-prising that Kar l Merz'S Piano Metho d is used everywhere by the b^st teachers who use instruction books, published in American and foreign . fingering. Only the most necessary mm m msm rudimentary instruction is giveii, explicit explanations are made of Wr position of hand and use of fingers. Wm w The first lessons are very simple yet ^ r melodious and attractive, written in the treble clef for each hand separately, followed for two bauds both in treble clef. We now introduce the bass clef for one and both hands by offering the simplest kind of music, and thus give the left hand the same attention as that of the right hand. Then follows the daily practice of five-finger exercises, interspersed with pleasing and instructive amusements especially written for this book and designed to awaken in the pupil a desire for good music. Lack of space forbids giving in detail all the important features; sufficeit to say that we believe it to be the most honest piano instructor published. Pric e $3.00 . TW O MUSICA L FRIENDS .
