Few supplementary impressions also were provided, for the amusement and instruction of the inexperienced sportsman, to whom, alone, he still presumes to offer so humble a production. To preve...

There is in musical terminology no word under cover of which quite so many sins are committed as under tempo rubato. Chopin deservedly receives the credit for having discovered it, but many who thus credit him hold very strange ideas about it. There are those who suffer with a technic too unreliable to keep them steady in prolonged rapid passages and when they run away with the tempo they palm their weakness off as tempo rubato. Then there are...

PREFACE ACTS differ in importance, but it is a fundamental article of the faith of science that all facts are important in some degree. The import of some of them may not be clear at first, but continued collection brings about the possibility of valuable references.

MODERN ENGLISH BINDING WITHIN the last five-and-twenty yeara there has been a marked revival in every de partment of applied art. The influence of William Morris, whose efforts in all the accessories of house decoration were for some time only recognized by the few, has now spread to all classes. No longer con- fined to the houses of the rich or of those who profess the cult of aesthetics, it is to be found with more or less of travesty in cou...

THE intellectual colonization of America by England has been going on for generations. Taking advantage of her position of authority-a position built on centuries of esthetic tradition-England has let pass few opportunities to ridicule and disparage our activities in all lines of creative effort, and to impress upon us her own assumed cultural superiority. Americans, lacking that sense of security which long-established institutions would give...

The well-informed thinker knows that so far as determined by pure reason, the question of the existence of God is one of probability only. It is only by the accumulation of truth that learning comes to the aid of faith and hope. In the contemplation of...
