The Home Musical Library.

Each book of the series is quite complete in itself, and two, three, or more, will con stitute a valuable Library. But should one possess the whole, the phaser would own nothing less than the greater part of all the good music composed a, ing the last one hundred years. Church Music, Orchestra Music, and Music for Schools, of course, ia not included.

The accompaniments in all the books of Vocal Music may be played either upon the Piano-forte or Reed Organ.

All the pages in the books of this Library are large, of the ordinary Sheet Music size, and very compactly filled.

Each book contains a quantity of music which, if published in Sheet Musie form, would sell for from $20 to $40. In the present shape, the same quantity may be bought for $2.50.
