Excerpt from Musical England
In the preparation of the book I have re ceived more courteous and kind assistance than I can possibly acknowledge. I must, however, thank Miss A. M. Wakefield and Mr. T. Walter Hall for information and advice on definite points, and Dr. A. J. Greenish and Mr. J. W. Ivimey for much aid in the further ance of my general scheme. In addition I must record my obligations to Mr. H. B. D1c to 'whom I cannot sufficiently express my thanks for the valuable help he has given me in collecting and collating the facts set out in these pages. But it must be observed that neither Mr. Dickin nor any one else who has helped me is in any way responsible for the views and opinions I have expressed. For them I alone am responsible, and all the blame for their shortcomings must fall on my head.
