Excerpt from The Third or Transition Period of Musical History: A Course of Lectures Delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain
In one respect at least this Course will be more valuable, and of greater interest, than my former one, - in being accompanied by so many, and such beautiful, musical illustrations. These, for the most part, consist of pieces never before printed in this country, some of which indeed had existed heretofore only in manuscript. The majority will certainly be new to all but the most enterprising of musical antiquaries.
