42:  Mary Russell Mitford.

43:  “Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini,” Bohn edition, p. 23.

44:  “The Miserere” of “Gregorio Allegri.”  It was written for nine
    voices in two choirs.  “There was a time when it was so much
    treasured that to copy it was a crime visited with
    excommunication.  Mozart took down the notes while the choir was
    singing it.” (See Grove’s “Dictionary of Music and Musicians.” 
    Vol.  I, page 54.)

45:  Dr. Bridge “On Simple Counterpoint.”  Preface.

46:  Take, in August Haupt’s “Choralbuch zum haeuslichen Gebrauch,”
    any simple choral.  The one entitled “Zion klagt mit Angst und
    Schmerzen
” is of singular beauty and simplicity.

47:  Peters Edition, No. 200, page 11.

48:  I should advise the teacher to have the two volumes entitled “Les
    Maitres du Clavicin
.” (They can be had in the Litolff
    collection.)

49:  Op. 106.

50:  “Der Erster Verlust” in Schumann’s Op. 68 is well conceived in
    the sense that it is freely harmonic in some places, imitative in
    others, while in the opening the melody is very simply
    accompanied.  Show the children how interesting the left-hand part
    is in this little composition.

51:  From a Letter of the Spectator.

52:  From the eighth paragraph of the Lecture entitled “Nicholas, the
    Pisan,” in “Val D’Arno.”

53:  A blind beggar sitting on a bridge in an English town (it was
    Chester) many times astonished me with the rapidity of his
    hand-reading, and by the wonderful light of his face.  It was
    wholly free from the perplexity which most of us show.  It must
    arise in us from being attracted by so many things.

54:  Eighty-first paragraph of “Val d’Arno.”

55:  Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, “The Meditations,” Book V, Par. 34.

56:  See footnote, p. 119.

57:  From the thirteenth paragraph of the fourth book.  I have changed
    the wording a very little to make it simple.

58:  Sixteenth paragraph of the fifth book.

59:  Essi quam videri.

60:  “The Memorabilia.”

61:  “Epictetus,” H.W.  Rollison’s Translation.

62:  Plato.

63:  Mozart wrote three symphonies between June 26th and August 10th,
    in the year 1778; and an Italian, Giovanni Animuccia, is said to
    have written three masses, four motettes, and fourteen hymns
    within five months.  As an instance of early composition, Johann
    Friedrich Bernold had written a symphony before he was ten years
    of age, and was famous all over Europe.

64:  Xenophon, “The Memorabilia,” Book IV, Chapter VIII.

65:  From the “Pleasures of Life.”  Eighth Chapter of the Second Series.

66:  The little romance of N.B.  Saintine is referred to.
