' Account of a very remarkable Young Musician by PROFESSOR S. TOLANSKY
Royal Holloway College, London
When Mozart was eight years old, he came to London with his father. His reputation as a child prodigy had preceded him, and Daines Barrington , a Fellow of the Royal Society, took the opportunity at the time of studying him. and published his findings in The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1770; quite a rarity, a study of precocity in a great artist by a cultured scientist.
