AI1TERARY CURIOSITY.


HIsr IT'S oR DF SHb sSlSGE EMP M
BY ROBERT CHALLoNfR. sso' PIP ooo' 'in'u""u'
George ID. Newhall 4 Co.
The volume now before rs belongs TO class OF
works too common in this country. which couid not
be published except in community where the
knowledge of art is in its infancy and criticism is
not yigilant. Mr.. Challoner is a music teacher I'D
louisville and the author OF several books OF IN
struction. He states that he has prepared the
present history, " as textbook for the use OF
academies, seminaries, common schools, and
private teachers because he has learned by expert
snce how much clear, concise. and we'll arranged
manual is needed TO promote the diffusion OF nus-
cal knowledge. He docs not Z" deem it necessary 10
name in detail " the authorities from whom nc mas
gathered his material; and II he bas, III IN
stances" adopted the language OF any OF them. 1t
IL because he found the subject clothed IN sucn
fitting language that TO alter the phiaSeoiogY
would he to change the meaning OF the thought
This is a pretty compliments but we doubt
whether some OF the authorities whose books MT.
CbaIoner has ravaged will feel recompcnsed by his
politeness for the wholesale appropriation OF their
property.
AT the end of the volume Mr.. Challoner prints e
list of authorities and writers upon Music as an
Art and Science" The student will naturally
infer that these arc the authors 10 whom Mr.. Cha-
loner has had recourse. BY a singular oversight
Inc has omitted ftom the catalogue the one
authority Of which he has made the most liberal
.use namely. the History of Music by Dr. r. L.
Ritter OF Vassar College revised edition OF winch
we noticed the other day and the omission IA tho
more remarkable because the catalogue itself Is
taken textually from the much longer list III Dr.
Ritters book, with Dr.. Ritter's annotations ana
classification of subjects. Only once, so lar as we
have observed, does Mr.. Challoner venture away
from his original and that is where he adds to the
title. Ambros, Gcschichte Der Nusk.' the remark
