Meignen, Professor of Music, Philadelphia._ “G. Kingsley, “Sir,—I have carefully perused the copy of your new work, and it is with the greatest pleasure that I now tell you that I have been highly gratified with the reading of many of its pieces. The harmony throughout is full, effective and correct; the melodies are well selected and well adapted; and I have no doubt, that when known and appreciated, this work will be found in the library of every choir whose director feels, as many do, the want of a complete reformation in that department of music. Believe me, dear sir, “Yours respectfully, “L. Meignen.” _From Mr. B. Denman, President of the David Sacred Music Society, Philadelphia, to George Kingsley._ “Dear sir,—Having examined your ‘Sacred Choir,’ I feel much pleasure in recommending it as the very best collection of Church Music I have ever seen. It combines the beauties of other books of the kind, with some decided improvements in selection, arrangement and composition, and commends itself to the choir, the parlour and social circle. Wishing you the success your valuable and well-arranged work merits, I am, sir, “Yours respectfully.” _From the Committee of the Choir of Yale College._ “Sir,—We have been using for some time past your new publication in the choir with which we are connected. We take pleasure in stating to you our entire satisfaction with the manner in which it has been compiled and harmonized, and would willingly recommend it to any of the associations desiring a collection of Sacred Music of a sterling character and original matter. The melodies are quite varied and of an unusually pleasing character; and uniting, as they do, the devotional with the pleasing, we have no hesitation in giving them our preference to any other collection of a similar character at present in use among the churches.” _From Three Leaders of Choirs._ “Mr. George Kingsley. “Sir—We have examined the ‘Sacred Choir’ enough to lead us to appreciate the work as the best publication of Sacred Music extant. It is beautifully printed and substantially bound, conferring credit on the publishers. We bespeak for the ‘Sacred Music Choir’ an extensive circulation. Sincerely yours,
