Commenting on plagiarism in music in
London journal, Mr. Joseph Bennett says:
There is no reason in law or equity why
a composer, as well as an author should
not be granted the use of inverted com
mas or their equivalent in effect What a
boon that liberty would be! How many
lame dogs 1T would help over styles on the
Hill OF Difficulty Other advantages would
accrue TO other people. The souls OF au-
diences would less frequently be narrowed
up, and the machinery Of musiC's chariot

next, in the Washington College of MI

taken two appearances here in Washing

feature regarding this concert is that
