Manoel Garcia del Popolo Vicente, a native of Seville, born 1775, died 1832, was successful as singer and composer, and supreme as music teacher. The reputation of his book _Metodo di canto_ is high and permanent. He had two daughters, Maria born in 1808 and Pauline born in 1821. The elder, named Malibran by marriage, was one of the most renowned singers of the nineteenth century; she died in 1836. Pauline made her first appearance on the stage in 1837; married Louis Viardot, at that time director of the grand opera at Paris, in 1840; remained on the stage, with much success, till 1863; and settled in Paris as a teacher of singing in 1871.—TRANSLATOR.

Je viens d’achever la lecture de votre admirable chef-d’œuvre. On dit qu’il y a deux mille langues—ce serait 1999 de trop—mais certes il n’y en a pas une dans laquelle votre délicieux ouvrage ne devrait être traduit, lu et médité. Combien de temps vous a-t-il pris de composer cette merveille? Vous me le direz lorsque j’aurai l’honneur et le bonheur de vous serrer la main—cette main d’amazone qui fait si vaillamment la guerre à la guerre. Vous avez tort pourtant de crier “à bas les armes” puisque vous-même vous en faites usage, et puisque les vôtres—le charme de votre style, et la grandeur de vos idées—portent et porteront bien autrement loin que les Lébel, les Nordenfelt, les de Bange et tous les autres outils de l’enfer. Yours for ever and more than ever A. Nobel Paris, le 1 / 4 1890 Footnote 22: All hail to weapons! They are man’s by right! Let woman hold her tongue when men must fight.
