Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. Thomas Helmore, M.A: Late Priest in Ordinary and Master of the Children of Her Majesty's Chapels Royal, Precentor of S. Mark's College, Chelsea, Hon. Precentor of the Molet Choir, and of the London Gregorian Choral AssociationIT is with mingled feelings of love and deep humility that I essay the work of recording reminiscences of my late brother's life.Right gladly would I have resigned the honour of doing so to some one more worthy of the task and more skilled in authorship.At the same time I cannot hide from myself the fact that none knew him as I knew him from boyhood to the last.Trusting to brotherly love to fill up other deficiencies, I have therefore ventured upon writing this memoir to supply a tolerably full account of my brother's work, in which his numerous friends must feel a deep interest.In childhood he was my teacher, and in manhood I have had so much to do in conjunction with him that I could not very well avoid saying perhaps more about myself than some of my readers may consider necessary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
