For seven columns the inside pages of the paper...

And there is so great a fondness for attempting this latter kind of music manifest at all times, that it seems almost unaccountable that the modest Italian should not be permitted to rest beneath our windows and tutor the untuneful ear into a correct knowledge of its favorite airs...
