"They have beautiful voices."--_London Graphic._

"Their voices are clear, rich, and highly
cultivated."--_London Daily News._

"This troupe sing with a pathos, a harmony, and an
expression, which are quite touching."--_London Journal._

"There is something inexpressibly touching in their
wonderfully sweet, round, bell voices."--REV. GEORGE
MACDONALD.

listened with rapt attention to some of the identical
slave-songs which these emancipated ones rendered with a
power and pathos perfectly indescribable."--_London Rock._

last evening. The audience numbered some two thousand
persons, and manifested an enthusiasm seldom witnessed at a
concert in this city. From the initial to the finale of the
programme the singers were applauded and encored, and now
and then the enthusiasm broke forth in the interludes. So
many thousands have listened with delight to the full, rich
voices of the 'Jubilees,' and the sweet undertone which
disarms criticism while it charms the popular ear, that it
is needless to speak of them at length. The simple purity of
the rendering of the Lord's Prayer, which initiated the
programme, gave evidence that they had lost none of their
natural grace and simplicity of
