From a late London Paper.  To the Editor of Lloyd's Evening
Post.
Music has charms to soothe the savage breast.
Otway.
[2 long paragraphs on the influence of music on humans and
animals]
. . . since common experience teaches us, that those who
cannot be moved by the powers of music, are generally deaf
to every feeling of humanity, strangers to every act of
generosity, and seem on every occasion to live only for
themselves.
