Book Description:
George Hogarth (1783-1870), music critic and journalist, is also remembered as Charles Dickens' father-in-law. First published in 1835, this lively history of music is aimed at general readers. Written in 'perspicuous language, avoiding technical phraseology and abstruse discussions', it concludes with Hogarth's account of contemporary musical life in England.
