Text:
The author's next work was in a very different style, resembling the first in one particular only, that it is an imitation. It is entitled the "Guzla," and imports to be a translation of a collection of Illyrian national poems. We have in the preface some account of the players on the Guzla (a single-stringed guitar) and their mode of reciting to music, much in the manner of the Italian improvisatori.
