Jula Ward Howe, Reminiscences: 1819-1899, Chapter 8: first years in Boston (search)
o study with interest the works of the great masters. In his later years, he never went abroad without bringing back pictures, engravings, or rare missals. He had little natural apprehension of music, but used to express his admiration of some favorite operas, among them Mozart's Don Giovanni and Rossini's Barbiere di Seviglia.
