Lowell Mason in England - early January, 1852

from Musical letters from Abroad, page 15:

It is quite astonishing that good people from America, ministers and others, should write in such glowing terms of the cathedral music of England. It is as unfit for our purposes as are their cathedrals, or their Church and State dependence and connection.
