Excerpt from The History of Modern Music: A Course of Lectures Delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain The volume prefaced by the foregoing has been out of print about ten years, during which such' increasingly frequent calls for copies of it have been made that, more pressing occupation preventing the preparation of a new edition, I have many times been on the point of sanctioning a reprint of the old one.
