K V " Have you not the words of the pieces your little scholar's sing i\t your interesting concerts," is an every-day interrogation." f This little book contains Songs in great variety. Songs for the School-room, and of ' School, of the Seasons, ofHome, of Love Affec- tion, Duty, Temperance, &c. Ac, and the " Fes- tival of the Rose," as well as such pieces as are i most popular at my Juvenile Concerts. The Musicto most ofthepieces is well known. Many of them are Melodies that we cannot part with upon any consideration, as they are interwoven with our very being, and the early and fond as- sociations of our youth. The metre is so simple that it will not be difficult to substitute an air, for any of those named, you may not happen to if' know. (Names of pieces, or what book taken from, will be found in the index, opposite each name of song.) iv. And to my young friends to whom this little work is respectfully dedicated, I would say, that I hope you may take as much pleasure in rehearsing the little songs, as I have taken pains in getting up something to gratify you, and we shall both be rewarded with pleasure. The world, my young friends, as you travel life's rug- ged path, will oft times look drear. Places, though palaces, will be uninviting. Faces, though fair, willbe wantingin loveliness, and songs how- ever well received by others, will have lost their sweetness to you yet the pleasing recollection of ; the places, times, and friends, (don't forget your old teacher,) associated with the songs of this little book, will bring a beam ofpleasurable satis- faction when time shall have advanced far into the vale of the future.

The rudi- , igs how- ments in books in general use, although cLximing 3st their to be simple, and intended only for children, are action of found to be quite above their capacity, jet your One great reason why children do not love of this rudiments, is, because they are discouraged in the le satis- outset, from not being able to comprenend the i far into lessons. The proper way to begin with children '1 is, to be sure not to introduce any thing they will li not at onc^ understand, and by no means weary them. In this way they begin to have confi- dence in themselves, which strengthens every step they take. Any Mother, Governess, or Teacher of primary school, who can sing herself, (although not, per- haps, able to read music,) may, by the help of these few directions, be enabled to give the little one a successful start in the right direction, pre* paratory to the introduction of elementary works in common use, and on a larger scale.
