Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Mary Wakefield: A Memoir In writing this account of Mary Wakefield I have kept two main objects in view: first to leave, not only for her many friends, but for those to whom She can never be more than a name, some intimate recollection of her work and personality; secondly to vindicate her claim to be regarded as the originator of the Competition Festival movement. While writing the book, I have been increasingly impressed by the conviction that a life so fully and intensely lived, and so scantily recorded in journals and letters, could only have been satisfactorily dealt with in the form of an autobiography. Had Mary Wakefield been spared to us a few years longer it is possible...
I den tredje boken i Jalnaserien är kapten Whiteoak död, och Adelines yngste son, änkemannen Philip, har tagit över Jalna. Till Adelines stora förtret har Augusta gift sig för en titel och står därför över sin mamma i samhällets ögon. I gengäld har Nicholas flyttat tillbaka till Jalna efter ett misslyckat äktenskap och är tillbaka med sin bror Ernest, den eviga ungkarlen, under Adelines vakande ögon. Ernest anställer en ung guvernant, Mary Wakefield, för att ta hand om Philips två små barn, Meg och Renny, och det dröjer inte länge förrän Philip blir förälskad i henne. Adeline ser dock inte nådigt på den kopplingen, och det unga paret måste gå igenom mycket innan de får varandra. Mazo de la Roche (1879-1961) är en kanadensisk författare. Hennes kommersiella genombrott kom med romanen Jalna från 1927, som vann det stora priset på 10 000 dollar i den amerikanska tidningen Atlantic Monthly. Därefter blev det 16 romaner i Whiteoak-familjens romantiska familjekrönika. Jalna-serien har sålts i över 11 miljoner exemplar världen över och har översatts till nio språk.

The Historical Dictionary of English Music seeks to identify and briefly annotate a wide range of subjects relating to English musical culture, largely from the early 15th century through 1958, dates that reflect the coalescence of an identifiable English style in the early Renaissance and the death of the iconic Ralph Vaughan Williams in the mid-20th century. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about English music.
