RICHARDSON, rich'erd-s'n, SIR Benjamin Ward, English physician: b. Somerby, Leicestershire, England, Oct. 31, 1828; d. London, Nov. 21, 1896. He was educated in Scotland at Anderson College and St. Andrews University. In 1855 he moved to London and for three years was lecturer on medical jurisprudence at the School of Medicine in Grosvenor Place. He was also lecturer on physiology there until 1865.
In music, there are not two, not four, but six orchestras of symphonic quality, namely: London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Philharmonia, the New London and the BB Symphony. And in at least two provincial cities, Manchester and Liverpool, there are equally fine orchestras. The Halle Orchestra of Manchester is known everywhere. A summer musical diversion of great popularity with tourists is the series of Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, but the hall is as old as its Victorian name. To give yourself a musical treat in one of the finest concert halls in Europe be sure to attend some event in the splendid Festival Hall on the south bank of the Thames. |
