Excerpt from The Beginning of Grand Opera in Chicago: 1850 1859

To those who like to draw up an easy chair under the lamp - ii near an open fire, with a gentle rain outside, so much the better - light apipe, and quietly muse over the things that were, this little record is modestly offered in the hope that it may afford an agreeable half hour. The gathering of the material was for me a pleasure, and I shall feel doubly repaid should it prove entertaining to the courteous and discriminating reader - how easily one falls into the polite formalities of the olden time!
