THE LATE MR. JOHN BEAHAIL—SeIdom has there
been so remarkable a case of professional longevity as
that of Mr. John Braham. There is scarcely a person
living too old or too young to have heard him sing.
Born at London in 1774, of parents of the Hebrew per-
suasion, he is one of the many instances of that aptitude
of the Jewish race for music, which can scarcely have
escaped the notice of any observer of the present age.
At a very early age be was confided, already an orphan,
to the care of Leoni, an Italian singer of celebrity, and
made his debut as a public singer before he ha attained
his 11th year, when, from the quality and cod mpass of
his voice, he was enabled to sing several bravura songs
that had' been written for Madame Mara. When he
lost his boyish voice his future prospects appeared doubt-
ful, but he found a generous patron in Mr. Abraham
Goldsmith, and became a professor of the piano, On his
voice regaining its pevor he went to Bath, and there,
in the year 1794, made his first appearance at some
concerts that took place under the direction of M.
Rauzzini, who, appreciating his talent, gave him musi-
cal instruction for three you.
