the old stories and legends woven by him
into his music, rather than to the influence
of the musical setting itself. In the same
way the Scriptural subjects chosen by Han

achieved and abiding popularity he enjoyed
in England; and some such reasons will,
think, always be discovered to have pre-
vailed wherever national prejudice has ap-
parently been quickly and easily overcome.
