Northwest Passage; Natural history; Nord-Ouest, Passage du; Sciences naturelles. c 1 known to the mufical world thiU \\U portrait was engraved, which is a very ftrong rcfemblance. Some of thclc lellbiis have pal- I'agcs which are rather too difficult lor common per formers, and therefore they are not calculated for a general vogue. His father, tlie Rev. Mr. Welley, will permit any one to Ccc the fcore of his Oratorio of R\ith, which he really conypofed at iix years of age, but did not ivrj(e till lie was eight ; his quick- nefs in thus giving utterance to his niufical ideas is amazingly great; and, notwithftanding the rapidity, he IcLlom makes a blot or a miftake. Numbers of his other compofitions, and almoft of all kinds, niay be likewife examined ; particularly an anthem to the fol- lowing words, which I fele£led for him '", and which hath been performed at the Chapel Royal, and St. Paul's : " I. O Lord God of Hofls, how long wilt thou be angry ** at the prayer of thy people ? " 2. Turn thee again, O Lord, and we ihall be faved ! *' 3. For thou art a great God, and a great King above all " ; The firft part of this anthem was compofed for a lingle tenor; the fecond a duet for two boys ; and the tliinl a chorus. With regard to the merits, I fhall refer to that moft dininguiflicd linger of catliedral mufic the Rev. Mr. Mencc, who hath frequently done It moft ample juilice. â " In pitching upon thefe words, I attended to a circnmliincc which perhaps dcRrvcs fonie confidcration in compofitions for the vdice. 'I he third fingular in the Englifh verbs as written, when our tranflatioa of the Bible w;is made, ends with //', which cannot be pronounced by many foreigners, nor founds well even in the mouth ot' an I'aiglilhman. Words with fiich a termination are not to bcfoond in thefe palfages; nor is it eafy to feleiftmanv liieh from ourvcrfionof the Pfalms. R r ^ As li. m ,â .(â ..â ':fff. Please n
