First sentence: 1. WHILE in the works of many of the ancient writers the subject of Music has been dwelt upon at more or less length, it is impossible for us to form upon their statements or passing allusions an exact idea of the character or extent of the art as practised in the days of the Egyptian, Grecian, and Roman empires.
