LITHOGRAPHY. - Mr. Baker, zealous to
gratify all tastes, has published two works of
a very dissimilar character. The first is a
book of Psalm Tunes for the Presbyterian
church, which is neatly executed, and con
tains some of the finest of the old melodies,
arranged for three voices. The harmony in
some instances is also very fine, but in others
(p. 2 for example) naked fifths and other
absurdities occur in gross profusion. The
second work is a portrait of the murderer
Knatchbull, drawn by Rodius, and is said
by persons who have seen him (for we have
not had that curiosity) to be quite a like-
ness.
