Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/B/Barrington, Hon

by John Weeks Moore

Barrington, Hon. DAINES, wrote in the "Philosophical Transactions," vol. lx., an account of a very remarkable young musician. This was the celebrated Mozart, who had been performing, as a child, in London. D. Barring-ton published also a volume of "Miscellanies," in which there are some particulars of Dr. Crotch's precocity of musical talent, also of the early genius for music evinced by Samuel Wesley.
