Mr.. RICHARD GRANT WHITE is said to be
engaged on critical and historical sketch of
music in America, for which he has accumu-
lated large mass of material, illustrating our
musical annals for more than fifty years past
A student of music and a practical musician
from his boyhood, he made his entrance into
music as an amateur critic of music, and is said
to have been the first to introduce aesthetic
and scientific criticism of music INTO our jonr-
nslism. Among American men of letters he
is, perhaps, the only one who is both writer
OF reputation and an accomplished musician.
The knowledge Of Mr.. Whites project among
musicians has already secured him proffers Of
aid from the most distinguished professors-
An important part of his work-the history
of opera in New York-will soon appear in q
series Of articles in Scribner's Monthly, in
which it will be illustrated by portraits of the
principal artists who have appeared in Amer
