years, but none that proceeds from a point of view so original or that
gives so completely results of the latest historical research ...
few are written in so vivacious a style.... Sir Charles Stanford's
account of the modern period, from 1600 to the present day, is an
admirable summary, written with full knowledge, ripe judgment, and apt
characterization."--_New York Times._

F.S.A. Just completed in five 8vo volumes, each illustrated with a
photogravure and twenty-four full-page half-tone plates, besides many
illustrations in the text, bound handsomely in stamped cloth and

"A standard work without a rival."--_Review of Reviews._
"A necessity for every one at all interested in the art of
music."--_Advertiser_ (Boston).
"Unquestionably the most valuable work of the kind in English."--_The
Times_ (New York).
"A veritable storehouse of authentic information of musical
subjects."--_Courier-Journal_ (Louisville).
"The finished work will be an invaluable aid and a constant delight
to students, musicians, critics, writers, and all laymen genuinely
interested in music or in music-makers."--_The Independent._
"We have tested the new edition on subject after subject, and always
it has supplied the point sought. Best of all, it is informed with the
spirit which Grove insisted upon at the start. It tells the reader
what he wants to know, and on every page it arrests him with writing
that is good to read. If the 'Dictionary' is instructive, it is also
one of the most fascinating of books."--_The Tribune_ (New York).
"Assuming that the remaining volumes will represent the same standard
of musical scholarship and will contain similar results of careful
and accurate labor, it will not be premature to announce--and this,
too, without any disrespect to the memory of Sir George Grove as a
scholar--that at last we have an English musical dictionary not only
worthy to be compared with the French and German dictionaries, but
surpassing them all in the lateness of its information and in its
comprehensive scope."--_The Dial_ (Chicago).
