This history aims to strike a mean between the abstruse and the
elementary, the scientific and the educational. The first topic is
the Gregorian Chant followed by surveys of French, Italian,
English, and Russian music.
First published in 2005. By far the most stimulating and complete
introduction to the styles and schools of Western music, this work
is certain to remain a classic. Beginning with the music of the
early Christian church, the Gregorian chant, the book proceeds
through minstrels and troubadours, the Flemish polyphonic schools,
the Italian Renaissance, the Viennese school and the Russian
school. Music lovers will appreciate the author's sound
interpretations and engaging, readable style.

PREFACE THE present volume was undertaken in the hope of accom
plishing two distinct but closely related aims to provide a text
book in agricultural economics suitable for the use of be ginning
students and one also adapted to the needs of the large class of
general readers whose interest in the economic problems of
agriculture is being awakened. The fulfillment of these two aims
seemed to require on the one hand simplicity of treatment and of
style, together with the mechanical features requisite for a text
adapted to use in the schools, arid on the other hand
comprehensiveness of scope. With the latter idea in mind the book
has been made to cover the important phases of agricultural
economics with reasonable completeness. Chapters are devoted to the
subjects commonly included in the field of farm management as well
as to those considered to belong to agricultural economics in the
narrow sense. In some respects the order of treatment may be
considered a little unusual, and a few remarks may be offered in
justification. Following the introductory chapter, attention is
first directed to the idea of systems of farming as determined by
physical, economic, and social conditions In this connection the
opportunity is afforded the teacher to devote some time to the
study of agricultural geography. The next ten chapters are devoted
to those aspects of the subject usually classified under farm
management. Because the point of view is largely that of yiii
PREFACE the individual farm it seems desirable that these chapters
precede the more generalized topics connected with the con
sideration of the collective economic phenomena of agri cultural
production and marketing. It is said that value andprice are the
central themes of economics. Nevertheless the chapters on value and
price are near the end of the book. This is due to the writers
belief that value and price cannot be adequately discussed without
a previous knowledge of the mechanism of purchase and sale and of
the various facilities for price deter mination discovery.
Consequently the discussion of value and price is made to follow
the chapters on marketing. One would be rash indeed to write a book
in so new a field without drawing heavily on the pioneer work of
others. For the most part no attempt has been made in the present
book to give specific credit for these obligations. In fact, the
obligation in many cases is not easily traceable to a particular
source. It is proper, therefore, that the present opportunity be em
ployed to acknowledge the present writers indebtedness to the
writings or oral suggestions of H. C. Taylor, G. F. Warren, R. T.
Ely, W. J. Spillman, B. H. Hibbard f. N. Carver, and E. Jouzicr, as
well as to many other writers on the subject of agricultural
economics and . to numerous writers in the field of general
economics. A close intellectual association of nearly fifteen years
with Doctor II. C. Taylor and Professor R. T. Ely has made their
influence especially potent. I am obliged to the following for
generous aid in reading various parts of the manuscript and making
valuable sugges tions Professor John D. Black, of the University of
Minnesota G. W. Forster, C. R. Chambers, Charles L. Stewart, Bertha
