Excerpt from Modern Academic Counterpoint "We do it soon enough, if that we do be well." "He that is a master must serve." "A great ship asks deep waters." From Jaeula Prudentium by George Herbert, 1632. "One may do whate'er one likes In Art - the only thing is, to make sure That one does like it - which takes pains to know." From Pippa Passes by Robert Broning, 1833 - 1842. "It is a slavish toil to learn any art by text-books merely, without the assistance of a tutor, the written rule is of little use, is scarcely intelligible, until we have seen it reduced to practice by one who can practise it easily, and make its justice apparent. The case and readiness of the master are infectious, the pupil, as he looks on, conceives a new hope, a new self-reliance, he seems already to touch the goal which before appeared removed to a hopeless distance. It is a slavery when soldiers are driven against the enemy by the despotic command of a leader who docs not share the danger, but the service becomes free and glorious, when the general rides to the front... Principles last for ever, but special rules pass away with the things and conditions to which they refer... A principle is best seen in its practical application, a rule in its examples." From Rett Home (Macmillan & Co., 1885). For much generous advice and assistance in the preparation of this book, the author desires to tender his best thanks to his former pupils, Sir John D. McClure, M.A., LL.D., Mus. D., Lond., and S. E. L. Spooner-Lillingston, Esq., M.A., Mus. D., Oxon, who, together with Egbert F. Horner, Esq., Mus. D., Dunelm, and the Rev. Vernon Russell, M.A., have contributed useful examples to illustrate its rules: and to Sir John D. McClure, Dr. Horner, and Edward d'Evry, Esq., F.R.C.O., for further help in revising the proof-sheets. The present book goes forth in as perfect a form as, at this present time the writer can achieve, but his own long experience as a teacher leads him to conceive the possibility of still further improvements in the method of presenting to the student-mind what has always been an educational process of great difficulty and elaboration.
