THE LIFE OF ETHELBERT NEVIN FROM HIS LETTERS AND HIS WIFE'S MEMORIES BY VANCE THOMPSON Bound n. 2. 75 AMONG the papers found on the desk of Ethelbert Nevin, after his death, was a slip bearing, in his hand-writing, the following words: "Who dumeth small things are beneath his stau, Will be too small for what is truly great." ·If one were seeking to characterize the nature of this remarkable man, and the work of so felicitous a musician as Nevin, nothing could be found that would epitomize them more tersely than the quotation from James Russell Lowell. It is not now pertinent to extol the singular charm of Ethelbert Nevin's music, nor is it necessary to rehearse the wonderful success that has marked such works as "The Rosary" and "Narcissus." These are facts that belong to musical history. They were-prepared by conditions, and arose out of circumstances, which in them-selves form so interesting a story, that they needs must arrest the attention of all who have admired and learned to love the fruits that have sprung from them. Hence "The Life of Ethelbert Nevin," as told by his letters and by his faithful helpmate, is a book that will be welcomed by a large public in America, in Europe, in short, · wherever the name and melodies of this inspired artist have found a place in the hearts of the" people. His life has been one of much travel, and the letters that he has written to his relatives and friends, from the various points of his journeys, f9rm in their contents as well as in their style, admirable documents to illustrate the simplicity and the sensitiveness of the writer • The excerpts from his correspondence are many, and many are the details of the long struggle and the ultimate triumph that rewarded the belief in his purpose, and his earnestness in its pursuit. The value of this biography is greatly enhanced by a host of illustrations, and by the addition of some posthumous compositions, published here for the first time. The authorship of Vance Thompson assures a work of true literary merit. The, artistic presentation of the matter makes the book a most suitable gift. The book is printed on Cameo paper and attractively bound . ROBERT CAMERON ROGERS .Frencli vers1'on by .M1ne. C.
