...bracce; probably because it was made of the same party-colored cloth with their plaids, as breac, in that language, signifies anything that is party-colored. These braxe, or close trousers, which were both graceful and convenient, and discovered the fine shape and turn of their limbs to great advantage, were used by the genuine posterity of the Caledonian Britons in the Highlands of Scotland till very lately, and are hardly yet laid aside in some remote corners of that country...

In the Scotch Symphony the orchestra...

...last piece on the programme was Weber's ever-fresh and inspiring overture to Der Freischutz. It was played with great spirit, only it seemed to us that in some parts of the presto the violins were not strong enough to give the melody sufficient prominence. Mr. Thomas is to appear again at the next and last concert of the season, for which, among other things, are promised Beethoven's Overture to Coriolanus, Schumann's Symphony in B flat, and the new duo Concertante for solo violin and 'cello, and orchestra, by Professor Paine, which...
