Excerpt from The Golden Key Used by the Choir of Southwark Cathedral (Curwen's Edition, 5664.): Dedicated to the Choirmasters of the Diocese of Southwark

Cathedral during the last twelve years has attracted some interest, and I have frequently been asked to give particulars as to the ways in which it has been carried on. It having been arranged that the present organization is shortly to cease, this seems a fitting time to reply to these questions in a clear and brief manner.

Since it has always been felt that example is better than precept, I have endeavoured to follow out this old maxim by writing down in a few plain words some details of the method of work, in com bination with the leading principles that have guided it and that have enabled the Choir to achieve some measure of success. I have done this in the hope that it may be of assistance to others treading the same path and with the same goal in View.
