Of the "Life of Mozart," the _Standard_ says: "Mozart supplies a
fascinating subject for biographical treatment. He lives in these pages
somewhat as the world saw him, from his marvellous boyhood till his
untimely death."

Of the "Life of Wagner," the _American_ (Baltimore) says: "It gives in
vigorous outlines those events of the life of the tone poet which
exercised the greatest influences upon his artistic career.... It is a
story of a strange life devoted to lofty aims."

Of the "Life of Beethoven," the _National Journal of Education_ says:
"Beethoven was great and noble as a man, and his artistic creations
were in harmony with his great nature. The story of his life, outlined
in this volume, is of the deepest interest."
