WORK OF THE EDITORS.

Thus matters rested when Thayer
died, on July IS. 1897. The thought
that the fruit Of his long labor and
gerat sacrifices (for, as he told this
writer, he never received a penny from
mis- publisher. only a few books that
he ordered from him) should be lost

realized the need Of doing something
more than harmonizing and rectifying
Che biographical notices which were
current But he lacked the money
which would enable him 20 do the long
and large work which now loomed be-
fore him. In 1866 he came home again
and sought employment, finding it at
South Orange, in New Jersey, where
LEVEL Mason employed him TO cata-
logue his musical library. Meanwhile
DR.. Mason had become interested IN
him and his great project, and Mrs
Mehetabel Adams. Of Cambridge, Mass,
also. Together they provided the funds
which enabled him TO go to Europe
for The third time (and the laSt), in
1858. At drst he spent his time in
work and travel, visiting Berlin, Bonn,
Cologne, Dusseldorf Cwherc he found
much material Of great interest in the
old archives OF the electoral courts %
Cologne and Bonn, Frankfort, Paris,

small post in the United States Lega-
ton in tha Austrian capital. but eS-
changed this after awhile for the con-
sulship at Trieste, 20 which he was
appointed by President Lincoln at the
instance Of Senator Sumner. In Tri-
este he remained, though out of office
during the last few years, until his
death. From Trieste he went out on
occasional exploring tours when his
duties permitted, and there he weighed
his accumulated evidence and wrote
his volumes.

WRITING OF THE BIOGRAPHY.

In 1865 Thayer was ready with the
manuscript for Volume ! of the Dl-
ography, which gave sketch OF the
electoral courts at Cologne and Bonn
for two centuries and told of the music
cultivated at them, as we'll as OF the
ancestry of Beethoven. It carried the
history Of the composer down TO the
year 1895. In Bonn Thayer had made
The acquaintance of DR.. Herman Deit-
ers. Court Councillor and enthusiastic
musical litterateur, and to him he con-
fded the task of editing and revising
his manuscript and translating 1t INTO
German, being convinced that he would
not find a publisher in his native lana
willing to bring forward a single vol
ume OF biography planned TO EN-,
brace three. The plan also enaoled
him to turn over all his documentary
evidence in its original form, clrcum,
stance which saved him colossal
labor, but left it for his American
continuatOr and editor. The German
volume appeared in 1866; its erect
upon musical Europe has been lndl-
Gated above. Volume II came from the
press in 1872, Volume III in 1879, both
having been translated and annotated
bv DIR. Deiters. They brought the story
OF Beethoven's life down to the END OF
the year 1916, leaving a little more
than decade still to be discussed.
The health of Thayer had never been
robust, and the long and arduous ap,
plication to the work of gathering and
weighing evidence had severely taxed
his brain. He became subject 10 dis
tracing headaches, and after the ap-
nearance OF his third volume found it
impossible to apply himself for even
short time 10 work upon the biography.
For relief he turned to literary work
of another character. He wrote a book
against the Baconian authorship OF
S6akespearc's plays, another on the

VISITED LIVING WITNESSES.

In his travels Thayer visited every
person of Importance then living who
had been in any way associated with
Beethoven or had individual recollec-
tions of him SCHNEIDER, the cOmpo-
ser's factotum and biographer; Anselm
Huttenbrenner. in whose arms he died;
Caroline van Beethoven, the widow of
Nephew Karl; Charles Neate and Clip
riani Potter, the English musicians
who had been his pupils; Sir George
Smart, who had visited him to learn
the proper Interpretation of the Ninth
symphony; Moscheles, who had been
a professional associate in Vienna;
Otto jain, who had undertaken a like
task with his own and who turned
over to him the material which he
had gathered; Mailer, an artist 10
whom Beethoven had sat for a por-
trait; Gerhard Won Breuning, son OF
Beethoven's most intimate friend, VINO,
as a lad of fourteen years, had been
a companion Of the great man when
he lay on his last bed Of sickness:
With all of these and hundreds oil
others he talked, carefully. recording
their testimony in his notebooKs' ana
tcst the correctness of traditions and
printed accounts and to ampllty those
which proved to be true. HIS lndus-
trv. zeal. keen analytical powers, can
der and air-mindedness won the con-
fdence and help of all with whom he
came in contact except the literary
cbarlatans whose romances he was
bent on destroying in the interest OF
the verities Of history. The koyal LIZ
