for remark. The chorus is a sort of abridgment of the whole hymn, a vehement aspiration towards God, a solemn promise or resolution. A few singers best acquainted with the tune and words, especially when they are new, sing the stanza or solo, and are replied to with thrilling power by the full chorus of all the voices in the assembly. All can join in the chorus, and the singing receives a new life from it,

The tunes have been revised by the Rev. William Dolan, of Islington, a sufficient guarantee for their correctness.*

Having now completed our explanation, we conclude with a prayer that all who have given us their aid in accomplishing the end designed, and all who shall make use of these Hymns, to aid their devotional feelings, may by the mercy and grace of God, be admitted hereafter to sing together His eternal praises, in the company of the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

* We have to thank Rev. W. Dolan for the use of his 'Gregorian Hymns,' and the composer of the tunes sung in the Holy Family at Clapham, for some contributions ;-also Me. Poussielgue-Rusand de Paris, and Messrs. Burns and Lambert for their generous permission to reprint some music from their hymn-books.
