“The work of a man of wide views, yet of one who values the work of antiquity, and is careful to show how rationally the new has been developed from the old. There is a large class of contrapuntists, both in England and in Germany, at the present day, who are accustomed to sneer at the ancient writers, and to whom the researches of Rockstro and others are anathema. It is satisfactory to see that Dr. Kitson is not of this number; he has evidently studied Morley and the ancients thoroughly, and his very concise résumé of ancient practice is so little superficial that we see at once that he is deeply read.”—Lond. Times.
