In venturing to offer for your consideration a few thoughts on “Judgment and Taste with regard to Music,” I might almost take as my starting point, if not exactly as my motto, the words of the Laureate with regard, not to music, but to the spirit or tendency of the age generally:—
“Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell,
That mind and soul according well
May make one Music as before,
But vaster.”
