The type employed is smaller than the usual music type, yet its beautiful, clear and distinct cut renders it easier reading, Another advan- tage is, that with this type a larger amount of matter is placed upon a page, by which frequent leaf-turning is avoided, ‘The extremely low price at which they are afforded enablesall to possess a complete Operatic Library. ‘The Musical World remarks: ‘The type and bindings rich and unique; the prices such as none ean object to. { “We heartily commend this series to the good taste and patronage of every lover of music.” 4 Droghts Journal of Meaiesaye: "Hadras of opera hats, though they may have Ut the baret smatering of the art of reading music, will wish to possess for reference sake this copy of the opera entire; howit will brighten ‘up melodious reminiscences, and re-connect the broken threads of memory! ‘Then again, when the amateur singer of tsingle song or two ean have the whole opera so cheap, will he not seize the opportunity to furnish himself therewith, instead of the mere sheet music, that he may enjoy his songein ita dramatic connection with the whole?” "The Neto York Musical Review says: #These editions are got up by Mr. Ditson in admirable styles clear, new” © type, fine, white paper, good printing, and attractive binding, make them suitable companions ofthe drawing-room, and & appendages to the piano-forte, ‘The English words have also been added, and this will doubtless ve an additional recommendation,” Published by OLIVER LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR. “ “ Vocal Score. “ 4.00 “ “ “ “ Piano Solo. “3.00 ERNANI.

THE LIBRETTO HAS BEEN ADAPTED FROM THE DRAMA OF ALEXANDER DUMAS THE YOUNGER, ENTITLED “LA DAME AUX CAMELTAS.” yfARGU The first act commences with a gay party in the house of Violetta (tho heroine), a young and beautiful creature, ‘thrown by circumstances, and the loss of her parents in ing. She is sur: rounded_by a circle of gay and thoughtless beings like herself, who devote thelr lives to pleasure. Amongst the throng who crowd to her shrine is Alfred Germont, a young man, who becomes seriously enamored with Violetta. Touched by the sincerity of his passion, she yields to its influence, a new and pure love springs up in her heart, and for the first time sho becomes conscious of the misery of her position, and the hollowness of the pleasures in which she has basked. In the second act, we discover her living in seclusion with her lover, in @ country-house near Paris, three months after the events narrated in the preceding act. Alfred accidentally discovers that Violetta has been secretly. selling her houses and property in Paris, in order to main- tain this establishment; and, revolting at the idea of being ‘dependant on her bounty, he leaves hurriedly for Paris, to redeem his honor from this disgrace. During his ab. sence, his Father, who has discovered his retreat, arrives, ‘and, representing to Violetta that his son’s connexion with her is not only lowering him in the opinion of the world, Dut will be ruinous to his family, inasmuch as his sister ‘was betrothed to a wealthy noble, who had however de- clared his intention of renouncing her, unless Alfred would childhood, into a course of voluptuous MENT. give up Violetta, the generous girl resolves to sacrifice her affections and happipess for her lover's sake, and returns alone to Paris, whither Alfred, overwhelmed with despair when he discovers her flight, follows her. We are then transported to @ saloon in the hotel of Flora, one of Vio: letta’s former friends, during a festival given by the fair mistress of the mansion. ‘There Alfred again meets Vio- letta, now under the protection of the Baron Dauphol, and being unaware of the generous motive which made her desert him, he overwhelms her with reproaches, and flings ‘a purse containing money at her feet, in the pres- ence of the company. Degraded and heart broken, the ‘unfortunate Violetta returns home to die; and in the last ‘act we find the sad romance of her life drawing to its close. Alfred, too Inte, learns the truth, and discovers the sacri- fice she has made to secure his happiness. Penetrated with grief and shame, he hastens, with his Father, to comfort and console her, and to offer her his hand and name in reparation of the wrong he has done her;—but too late. The fragile flower, broken on its stem, can never more raise its beauteous head. One gleam of happiness, the purest ‘and brightest that she has known, arising from her lover’s assurance of his truth, and his desire to restore ber reputa- tion, gilds the closing moments of her life, and in a trans port of joy her soul suddenly quits its fragile tenement of clay.LA TRAVIATA (THE ESTRAY.)
