al
their admiration of that great departed genius, and have pro-
a some grand musical reunion for the special performance of kis
• works. The public enthusiasm with which these Festivals
, been received, as well as the royal patronage bestowed on them,
,-.2s the estimation, and indeed almost devotion, with which the

•zioven's works more highly appreciated than in England; and
c the public in general have been enabled at a reasonable charge
take themselves aoquainted with them, such a widely-extended
vledge now exists, that It is scarcely possible to conceive but
a similar demonstration in England must be highly and
• rally popular.

- from many distinguished amateurs and professors the most
,raging assurances of support and assistance.

-1:e names of several of the first professors, and has also the
