Excerpt from Hints Concerning Church Music, the Liturgy and Kindred Subjects The thoughts, so briefly and imperfectly set forth in the pages following, were chiefly conceived in order to a series of letters to the late and lamented Dr. Alexander Young. This design having been suddenly frustrated, they were next partly published in the columns of the Evening Transcript; but finding that the subject was outgrowing the space usually allotted to such articles, and by the solicitation of gentlemen who desired that it should be presented in a more substantial manner, it was decided to give it in this form.
