ays so fondly detains and dallies with music, in
addition to the depth and power with which they are endowed, by
those pillared and winding concaves, that, like the tubes of some
vast organ, receive and redouble the airy strain.
"Whatever be the case, I never felt any thing so fully coming up to
my idea, of 'most musical, most melancholy.'"
We bid Mr Whyte adieu, in the hope that, if a second edition of these
volumes be called for, he will subject them to a very thorough
revision--connecting together many passages, which, though relating to
the same subject, are at present unnaturally disjoined--omitting much,
which, instead of heightening, interferes with the effect which it is
his object to produce--and, above all, eschewing the indulgence of
pleasantries which certainly produces no corresponding impression on his
readers.
