"James William Davison was a critic of music and musicians who worked from about the year 1835 until within a week or two of his death in 1885. For over 30 years of that half-century he was an active member of the staff of the "Times" and chiefly in that capacity exercised considerable influence over the course of musical events in England. The period 1835-85, so far as regards secular music in England, is marked, principally, by three movements. Taking them in the order in which they occurred, there was, first, the effort at formation of a native school -- and this at a time when the genius of Mendelssohn was the rising son of modern music. Soon afterwards may be observed the beginning of that music education of the people which was, gradually, to lead to what may be called the democratisation of good concerts." -- from the preface page V Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
