orally interesting and useful opera guide ever
published The text has been entirely re-
Tised, many new operas added, and some left
out in which there is no present interest.
But the striking feature seen in this new
edition is the addition of scvcnty.fvc illus

There is found in this admirable Handbook
= brief but comprehensive sketch Of the
operas usually given. the story of each opera
notes the general character OF tho music,
its prominent scenes and numbers. the date
