CHORLEY, Henry Fothergill

Chorley was too many-sided ever to attain great distinction in any one of the numerous walks he attempted. His musical writings possess greater literary merit than most of the English work of the same period, but the judgments formed in them, especially with regard to Mendelssohn, have long since been overturned. His Autobiography, Memoir, and Letters, edited by Henry G. Hewlett, was published in London, 2 vols., 1873, with a photograph.
