Boston Ideas Reflect Silent Rackets of Ward Politics
A Boston letter surveys the tangled ward politics and censorship surrounding urban reform, noting how truth is silenced by factionalism. It reviews Robert A. Wood’s Americans in Process and Ednah Dow Cheney’s Reminiscences, along with recent catalogues and books by Abbey, Rodd, Burroughs, and Shaw, all framed in a candid, period tone.
Review of Untersteiner’s Concise History of Music
The critic notes Untersteiner compresses two thousand years of music into under 350 pages. He praises the clear general movement, cites Rossini as a key early nineteenth century figure, and mentions the translator’s effort. The work is readable though sometimes awkward, with a flawed bibliography and many proper-name errors.
