This is a unique Birthday Book. Against each date are given the names of musicians whose birthday it is, together with a verse-quotation appropriate to the character of their different compositions or performances. A special feature of the book consists in the reproduction in fac-simile of autographs, and autographic music, of living composers. Three sonnets by Mr. Theodore Watts, on the "Fausts" of Berlioz, Schumann, and Gounod, have been written specially for this volume. It is illustrated with designs of various musical instruments, etc.; autographs of Rubenstein, Dvorak, Greig, Mackenzie, Villiers Stanford, etc., etc. London: WALTER SCOTT, LTD., 24 Warwick Lane Transcriber's Note: The list of books that comprise _The Contemporary Science Series_ has been moved from the front of the book to after the index.
