By ADOLFO FERRARI London: Duncan Davison & Co., 244 Regent Street. "The great and deserved success of this work has brought it, in no long time, to a second edition, carefully revised, and enriched with a number of additional exercises which greatly increase its value. "Since its first publication this book has met with general acceptance, and is now used as a vade-mecum by many of the most eminent and intelligent vocal instructors both in the metropolis and the provinces. We say vocal instructors, because it is only to instructors that works of this class can be of material use. Singing is not an art which can be learned by solitary study with the help of books, and those who are self-taught (as it is called) are always hadly taught. But a good treatise, in which the principles and rules of the art, founded on reason and experience, are clearly expressed, is of infinite value, first to instructors, in assisting them to adopt a rational and efficient method of teaching, and next to pupils themselves, in constantly reminding them of, and enabling them to profit by, the lessons of their master. In both these ways Signor Ferrari's work has been found pre-eminently useful.”—Illustrated News. LONDON: DUNCAN DAVISON & CO., 244 Regent Street, W. ... ...
