These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Musical Myths and Facts, Volume II (of 2): Look inside the book: No mere Musicus practicus ecclesiastico-dramaticus, who took a high rank as a director of the orchestra, and a still higher rank as an organist, but who was neither a singer nor an actor, and least of all a mathematician-has ever, before Handel, attained to this, that without his help a special book of a considerable size on his life has been written, and supplied with instructive observations-still more, that his biography has been translated into another language by a brother-artist by no means of the common class. ...7 On the 17th of August, in the same year, they travelled together to Lubeck, and played in that town, as well as in Hamburg, on the organ and harpsichord, so to say in emulation, in which Handel proved himself the most successful on the former instrument, but acknowledged himself obliged to yield the palm to his rival on the latter instrument; so that they made a compact together never to encroach upon each other's ground. ...Did we not know with certainty that George Frederick Handel died anno 1759, on the fourteenth of April, at the age of 76, and we had to rely upon this blundering prosaic Homer for information respecting our musical Achilles, he would have remained constantly fifteen years, perhaps even imberbis until he came to the grave, and our barber in Hamburg, who every alternate day attended him, during five or six years, would have gained his money wrongfully.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
