A valuable source of information about many minor composers of the
19th century not found in other reference works, including the
first edition of Grove. Baptie has ben called "a predecessor of
Grove" for his efforts to record biographical details of local
composers and performers celebrated in his day. His
Handbookprovides information on many minor figures not found in
other reference books -including the first edition of Grove's
Dictionary, whose initial appearance in 1878 further stimulated
Baptie to produce his own biographical collection. The text has
been enlarged by six per cent for ease in reading.
