This little book, of 104 quarto pages gem Of |
Typography, by the way-contains moro informa- |
ton about the piano, its music, and how to mas
ter it, than probable any other work e1tant.
The teacher who will take his or her pupils faith
fully through the course here laid down, can |

or stubbornness. There is really nothing abso- |
lutely necessary to be known to learn to play |
the piano, that is not in this book. We speak
advisedly, when we commend it % the best work
of its kind in print. 50 AZ
