Excerpt from Saint Cecilias Hall in the Niddary Wynd Vii copies of his works on musical subjects, but placed at my disposal, for purposes of illustration in this work, his interesting collection of portraits of musicians, as well as several unique musical relics, amongst which I would specially mention the manuscript copy of the 'index to the whole Musick belonging to the Edinburgh Musical Society, i7sz.' From this precious volume, the only one of its kind, and therefore absolutely un replaceable, Mr. Marr gave permission to repro duce the page we thought the most interesting. To Mr. John Glen, musical-instrument maker, Edinburgh, my sincere thanks are due for his kindness in critically reading Chapter IV., which deals with subjects - foreign musicians in Edin burgh and the origin of Scottish song-tunes upon which, from his life - long study of them, he can speak with indisputable authority.
