Musical criticism is a subject which, I am of opinion, may be investigated and discussed with advantage by the members of the Musical Association. It is a field which may be thought delicate ground to tread upon. The atmosphere by which it is surrounded may be impregnated with explosive matter; but I am not dismayed from pursuing the inquiry I have proposed to my. self. With the safety lamp of good faith and good temper, I believe that the ground may be traversed without any apprehension of danger.
