...does not seem to have at all accurately measured the wants and tastes of Cambridge audiences. It is really too bad that in such a short series we should not be permitted to hear the very best symphonies of Beethoven, and the more modern composers exclusively. With all due respect to the great name of Mozart, we say that his symphonies are not the material of which to form the basis of a concert for such an audience as Cambridge furnishes.

...remember that some things still deserve attention until proved to be worthless.

If this were the only respect in which the managers of the book had erred, it would be of little importance; but they have done something that looks very much like deliberate plagiarism. As one looks at the " eating club" illustrations, he is astonished to find that one on page 142, is merely a sifting together...
