My Dear Strollers, 
 
 In this condensed List of Dates, it would be 
 impossible to notice everything which deserves to be 
 noticed. I have had to omit and to select, in order to 
 be brief. 
 
 The sele^ion has been made with a view to settling 
 the discussions and answering the inquiries so frequently 
 made at the pleasant Meetings of the Musical Members 
 of the Strollers, 
 
 I have also necessarily been influenced by the extent 
 of my own Memoranda; which I have been able to 
 find, of the various Musical'- events, from the time of 
 my entrance into College, in 1835, " Quorum pars 
 magna fui," 
 
 Yours, ■ &c, f
