On no one work published during. the last century have we
such a record otthe uniformity of criticism as is here presente,ll
iu the instance of the Music Book of Beauty. This ptiblicatiop
has now been favourably reviewed in upwards of one hundred
proVnicial newspapers, many of them old and uisting,yisheit
chroniclers of the beauties of literature and the fine arts ; ant
been bas there is scarcely a song in• the collection but what I
introduced with distinguished success at the nobility's, concerts.
