Looking through the many manuscripts found among the late E. T. Paull's papers, one would suspect that E. T. Paull had some means of looking into the future.

The titles and themes, sometimes scribbled in pencil, sometimes in ink, forecast in descriptive completeness dreams that have become facts--events that were but imaginative and since become history.

An instance is "The Top of the World," a descriptive march and two-step, where the title and musical treatment describe a trip of discovery of the north pole, replete with all the thrilling, stirring, and beautiful expressions which E. T. Paull could interpret so splendidly in march music.

This is but one of the many unpublished marches which E. T. Paull had planned to issue. He was a tireless worker--a dreamer and prophet--an artist and musician--and to his memory the publishers will issue from time to time his hitherto unpublished works, until all of his scripts are available to the world-wide lovers of E.T. Paull Marches.
THE PUBLISHERS


A coincidence: Strange but true, the late E. T. Paull was a Virginian by birth and spent the best part of his life at Richmond, Virginia, and Lieut.-Com. R. E. Byrd, to whom his splendid march "The Top of the World" is dedicated, is also a native of Richmond, Virginia.
