'CeH oft Mr. Taylor u.s. himself the author cf good part
Of the book and he shows musical feeling taste and nvcn
ton, which make no presumption in him TO appear
composer. Mr.. Tayor's pieces are recon-
mended by their melody into all the four parts by
their eXpressveess which always varies with the subject
