No apology need be offered, I trust, for the introduction here of an extract from the first printed announcement of this book, in which the chief reason why the publication has been undertaken is plainly stated. The work will be the first of its kind ever published of anE nglish musician. Foreigners especially Germans are continually producing biographies many of them elaborate of their composers and performers, even during their life-time; but in England this sensible way of. making the merits of our musicians known has been too much neglected. The memoir of Henry Smart will not only be a record of a life full of interest and instruction, but it will also contain an analysis and catalogue of his numerous compositions.
