THOMAS AUGUSTINE ARNE in his own day was recognized as the foremost English musician, and, indeed, from the production of his music to Milton's 'Comus' in 1738 until about the middle of last century, there was none to challenge that position with him. Since then his music has been somewhat unaccountably neglected, and we owe it largely to the enthusiasm of some of our young musicians today that the best of it is being revived.
