THE JUDGES OF ENGLAND; from the TIME of the CONQUEST. By EDWARD FOSS,
F.S.A.
"A work in which a subject of great historical importance is treated
with the care, diligence, and learning it deserves; in which Mr. Foss
has brought to light many points previously unknown, corrected many

his work, as he proceeds, the grace and dignity of a philosophical
history."--_Gent. Mag._

the origin of Music; the rise and progress of Musical Instruments; the
early Musical Drama; the origin of our present fashionable Concerts; the
