Mr. Bartholomew is better known for his connection with Mendelssohn than for any eminence gained by works of his own production. His intercourse with Mendelssohn was friendly and intimate, and he was mentioned by him in terms of respect. His careful selection of scripture passages for Elijah is highly creditable to his good taste. Mr. Bartholomew has written, in addition to the works above mentioned, many hymns of considerable merit.
