Opis: Life and Reminiscences of George J. Elvey - Elvey Lady
Excerpt from Life and Reminiscences of George J. Elvey: Late Organist to H. M. Queen Victoria, and Forty-Seven Years Organist of St. George's Chapel, Windsor
The compiling of the following Memoir has been no easy task, for my dear husband, ever averse to publicity, practically destroyed the whole of his large correspondence, and kept no diary. It was frequently represented to him how interesting the publication of his reminiscences would prove, and although he often said he could fill a volume with the strange things he had seen and heard in his eventful life and long cathedral experiences, he strenuously objected to do so, fearing to cause pain to others or to reveal the unlimited confidence always placed in him. When he went to Windsor his brothers parting words were, "Do not open your mouth to fill other people's." To this sage advice he always strictly adhered.
Should, therefore, the volume not meet the expectations of the reader, I must crave their forbearance on the ground above mentioned.
