THE 



CORNHILL 

 MAGAZINE 



EDITED BY LEONARD HUXLEY, LLD. 

 MONTHLY Is. 6d. net 



What does THE CORNHILL >^taiid for in the world 

 of letters ? It does not stand for politics or controversy 

 or sensationalism. It does not set out to review 

 current literature or appraise the merits of ('(mtem- 

 porary writers. 



Our first editor was Thackeray, and his design was 

 to give his readers on the one hand ijood fiction, on the 

 other essay> and studies wliicli touclied upon lunnan 

 life and human iiitere.«te : not huokislily, not merely 

 to impart information or create opinion, hut in "'that 

 .spirit of humane letters," as it has heen called, wliidi 

 distinguishes literature from other forms of the written 

 word. 



And THE COKMIILL to-day still aims at develi>p- 

 ing along the lines laid down l)y tlie discriminating 

 touch of its first Editor.

UlSGOVury in connection with the LflWS 



Of Piano Technique and Tuition 



When studying the piano. I adopted the much emphasised in- 

 junction to practise ! practise ! practise ! with great zeal. Its 

 disastrous effects terminating during my Leipzig conservatoire 

 days In a total nervous and physical collapse may be said to be 

 coincident with the discovery of the "Becker System." It 

 was at that moment I reahsed that something better should be 

 evolved. A method, I argued, which gave so disastrous a 

 result in my case, and a point decimal percentage of successes 

 generally to its votaries, could not be the last word. I had re- 

 ligiously and enthusiastically given myself to the best guidance 

 available, yet found my efforts stultified ! Why ? The answer 

 came as the result of much study and experience, and during 

 twenty years I have taught thousands by post with unfailing 

 success. I apply sound anatomical and psychological laws, 

 and the resultant lessons are simple as A B C. absorbingly 

 interesting and IXTEX.SIVE to a degree. I am able to get 

 better playing in a third of the time, with a quarter the work, 

 at a tenth of the cost, and personally grade the lessons to suit 

 each pupil from beginner to professional player. 



My book " Mind, Muscle and Keyboard " 



is a convincing statement to all thinkers, 

 'y M explains the fundamental principles and 



'^/f J!^ adduces irrefutable testimony. I will send 



^ -^« '^ A FREE copy on application. Just send 



postcard (Mrs., Miss, Rev., or Mr.}, and 

 one word to suit your case, "Beginner," 

 "Elementary," "Moderate," or "Ad- 

 vanced"; you will find it deeply interesting.
