Abstract
MR. WALLASCHEK has not only compiled with laborious care what appears to be an exhaustive account of the music of so-called savage races, but has based upon the foundations thus laid an able and interesting discussion on the origin and development of music. It is with the latter rather than the former part of his work that I propose to deal in this notice.
Primitive Music: an Enquiry into the Origin and Development of Music, Songs, Instruments, Dances, and Pantomimes of Savage Races.
By Richard Wallaschek. (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1893.)
