ness to advise and encourage young singers. Her life was one of constant and hard labour, the care of a large family having early in life been thrown upon her, but she was always patient and cheerful.
PHILP, Elizabeth, born 1827 at Falmouth, educated at Bristol under the care of Mary Carpenter, was taught singing by Manuel Garcia and received instruction in harmony and composition from Hiller at the last-named place. She afterwards devoted herself to teaching singing and composition. Her first works were published in 1855, and comprised a Ballad, 'Tell me, the summer stars,' words by Edwin Arnold; also six songs from Longfellow, etc. Among other of her compositions we may name her setting of songs from 'The Water Babies,' of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 'Inclusions' and 'Insufficiency,' of Victor Hugo's 'Chant des Lavandières,' also arranged by her as a duet; 'Le Soupir ' (Prudhomme); 'Lillie's good morning,' 'Lillie's good night'; Duets 'The Moon is up, and 'It was the time of roses; Part-songs 'What is Love?' 'The Owl in the Ivy Bush,' etc. many of which were sung by herself and other vocalists at her own concerts, and became popular. Miss Philp was also the author of 'How to sing an English Ballad.' She died in London Nov. 26, 1885.
