“ At the season when peace, joy and hope should reign our harps are tuned to notes of sadness. None of the losses it is our mournful duty to record affects us more severely than that of Frederick George Edwards, who was Editor of the Musical Times from April, 1897, up to the time of his death. ”

“ In the Musical Times he will be best remembered by his educationally suggestive interviews with musical celebrities, and the long series of articles on cathedrals, churches, and educational institutions upon which, over the signature 'Dotted Crotchet,' he bestowed so much care and erudition. A genial comrade, an exemplar of thoroughness and accuracy, an indefatigable worker with high ideals of duty, less perhaps to himself than to others, his memory will always be cherished by a large circle of co-workers and friends. ”

“ Another article from his facile pen appeared in the Musical Times for November, 1892, and was on musical settings of Tennyson's lyrics. Books written or edited about this period were 'The Romance of Psalter and Hymnal,' 'United Praise,' 'Musical Haunts in London,' 'Selected Psalms for Chanting,' 'A History of Mendelssohn's Elijah' (an absorbingly interesting and valuable book) , sketches of the lives of Sir George Grove (with whom Mr. Edwards had a voluminous correspondence, all of which is methodically filed) and Dr. E. J. Hopkins. ”
