George Hogarth (1783-1870), music critic and journalist, is also
remembered as a friend of Sir Walter Scott and the father-in-law of
Charles Dickens. His lengthy writing career included posts as music
critic with The Harmonicon, the Morning Chronicle (where he first
met Dickens), the Evening Chronicle (which he co-edited), and the
Daily News. He also served as music critic for The Illustrated
London News and was secretary to the Philharmonic Society between
1850 and 1864. His account of the first fifty years of the Society
has also been reissued in this series. The present work, first
published in 1835, is his lively history of music from ancient to
modern times, aimed squarely at the general reader. It is couched
in 'simple and perspicuous language, avoiding technical phraseology
and abstruse discussions'. The final chapter presents an invaluable
first-hand account of contemporary music and musical life in
England.
