consisted OF instrumental and vocal
music and essays regarding the emil

posers gave biographies Of. their lives
and spoke OF the peculiar order and class
Of music produced by each; gave many
incidents and items of information found
In sources outside Of cyclopedias, and
proved Of the greatest interest 70 the lis
