As you are so kind as to undertake my books, I will ask you to send me soon the following works:—
1st, Gevaert—History of Music in ancient times 2 volumes. (Publisher, Annoot Braekmann, at Ghent.)
2nd, Charles Clement—Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael,—a magnificent volume illustrated by 167 drawings. Price, bound, 15 francs. (Publisher, Hetzel, Paris.)
3rd, J. D. Lewis—"Bons Mots of the Greeks and Romans": 1 volume in 16—Charavay library. A thousand pardons for thus using and abusing your amiable kindness.
I have read with pleasure the article in the "Guide Musical" on the Festival at Aix-la-Chapelle, and beg you to repeat to the author [Presumably Monsieur Tarideu.] my sincere friendship.
Till our happy meeting at Bayreuth, at the end of July, farewell.
In affectionate gratitude,
F. Liszt
I add the article from the official paper of Weimar on
Stadtfeld's "Hamlet."
Weimar, June 10th, 1882.
