 the Hamburg establishment to his brother 

 Fritz, and concentrated his wholesale business 

 at Leipsic, where it has since continued, with

 sicians and composers. He was a warm friend 

 of the Abb6 Liszt, and published the later 

 works of that composer, such as the " Oratorio

 gold medal of the Order of Merit, and in 1870 

 he was made a member-extraordinary of the

 with most of the advanced reformers of Eu- 

 rope. Dissensions with other leaders of the 

 socialistic movement caused him to withdraw
