Engles asks Roach to have the papers signed by the poets.<br/><br/>Together with:<br/>Two typed letters from Walter Damrosch's office to J.T. Roach. Oblong octavo. On stationery with Damrosch's letterhead and signed "Lillian Day." The first dated January 3 1921 is the cover letter to a "corrected copy of M. Widor's song Le Chene du souvenir" the song is not present. The second dated November 14 1921 inquires about royalties Damrosch sent to Camille Saint-Saëns and Ralph Vaughan Williams; the writer wants to adjust Damrosch's French bank account; bank receipt Morgan Harjes & Co Paris dated July 8 1921 is attached. Unrecorded and presumably unpublished. The texts are by Henry Rutherford Elliot 1849-1906 a journalist in New York and Edwin Markham 1852-1940 an American poet. "Laugh it off!" is a humorous song in a popular style; The Manger Song of Mary is a lullaby in a more sophisticated style.<br/><br/>The correspondence suggests that both of Vidal's songs were slated for publication by Hinds Hayden & Eldredge in 1923; the scribal copies were most likely intended as engraver's copies. One of the poets Elliot however was no longer alive; there are no materials in the present collection mentioning his heirs. In any case the SACEM forms also Markham's remained unsigned. The publication stalled and the songs were apparently never published.<br/><br/>A French conductor teacher and composer " Vidal is particularly remembered as a fine teacher who was sympathetic to new ideas. At the Paris Conservatoire he taught classes in solfège from 1894 piano accompaniment from 1896 and composition from 1909. Vidal's most successful compositions were the ballet La maladetta 1893 which had been performed nearly 200 times by 1930 and the light opera Eros."

26227Paris, Librairie Philosophique de Ladrange, 1859. (4), 200 pp. Small 8vo. Contemporary half hard-grained morocco, marbled boards, spine with gilt compartments and gilt lettering. Stammhammer ii, p. 338 (giving as title "Théologie de la religion" and as date 1850); for the author, see DBMOF, iii, p. 502 and Dictionnaire des Parlementaires Français, ii, p. 513. First and only edition and very scarce. "Si vous avez la foi, vous n'aviez pas besoin d'ouvrir ce livre, et vous pouvez le re-fermer. Mais si vous n'avez plus la foi, ce livre est fait pour vous" (If you have faith, you have no need to open this book and you can close it again. But if you no longer have the faith than this book is made for you). Interesting essay dealing with natural religion: the rejection of traditional religion which is based on beliefs in the supernatural. This does not necessarily carry with it a rejection of religion as such, however. Many naturalists envisage a substitute for traditional religion which will perform the typical functions of religion without making any claims beyond the natural world. Vidal here seems to try to establish an argument for a natural religion which will guide man through life based on knowledge: first he gives the ways by which we can acquire (natural) knowledge: conscience, reason, senses, history and tradition, induction, etc. He then proceeds to treat various aspects of "doctrine": providence, liberty of man, our penchant for evil, grace, the future of man, followed by moral obligations ("devoirs") dealing with family, politics, social life, religious education, property, commerce, wealth and the existence of poor and rich, etc. etc. Interesting work by an author who marks the transition from utopian socialism of Saint Simon and Fourier to collectivist socialism in his earlier published works such as De la répartition des richesses (1846), a book which is even interesting at the present day according to Palgrave. - Pages 161/2 bound after 163/4.
