Dickinson, Edward. Study of the history of music; with an annotated guide to music literature. [**]$2.50. Scribner.
An aid to the understanding of musical history and criticism prepared by the professor of the history of music at Oberlin. “This volume is intended to clear the way by indicating the problems, the method and the materials” necessary for the study; further, “the narrative and critical portions give a terse and comprehensive summary of music history, show what are the important subjects involved and their connections and relations. The bibliographical sections lead the student to the best critical commentaries in the English language on every phase and detail of the subject.”
“His book is certainly almost unique in its clearness of statement and general usefulness; it is a marvel of condensed information.”
