Overview

Excerpt from Memories of a Student To another distinguished French writer - in this case, one still living - are we indebted for the axiom, N' crire que de ce qu'on aime. In the ensuing pages, few and slight though they be, I have at least complied with the literary canon thus neatly expressed. Music, Architecture, Law, Philosophy, Books, and Mathematics - the main subjects of the present volume - have each and all supplied me with a veritable labour of love. It may be added that the origin of these memorials, such as they are, was a suggestion on the part of my younger daughter that I should record a few of the anecdotes and other experiences connected with the gradual, yet strongly marked development of my musical tastes. Although, therefore, the notes ultimately took a wider range, it may be convenient to adhere to the original order in which they were conceived, and to begin with those combined effects of melody and harmony Over which Calliope, the chief of the Muses, presided.
