The Wit and Humor of America, Volume III. (of X.) by Various
page 202 of 202 (100%)

A volume of personal reminiscences, dealing with early Life and
Recollections, Hearing Music, Old Violins, Paganini, Liszt, Wagner,
"Parsifal," and other kindred subjects, in a manner both artistic and
pleasing, which shows the author to be a person of great critical
ability in the realm of music. He is an enthusiast, for music hath
charms, so hath its memories; but his enthusiasm never carries him
beyond the bounds of good sense and fair judgment.

"Of all Mr. Haweis' contributions to musical literature none is
richer or more readable than 'My Musical Memories'; in short, it is
a treasury of musical intelligence such as only a critical taste
and an almost infallible instinct could have gathered."--_The
Musical Herald, Boston._

"Those who know the charm and clearness of Mr. Haweis' style in
descriptive musical essays will need no commendation of these
'Memories,' which are not only vivid but critical."--_The Public
Ledger, Phila._

_12mo, Cloth. Price, $1, Post-paid._
