<b>Representative Contemporary Description/Review:</b>
<UL>
<LI><i><b>Albion</i> (Liverpool) November 13, 1848: 3: 2. </b><br>
“Mr. Valentine, who possesses a voice of great purity and richness, is a tasteful and effective vocalist”
<LI><i><b>Sheffield Times</i> November 11, 1848: 8: 3.</b><br>
“We were greatly delighted with the singing of some of the songs, and in particular cannot praise too highly the manner in which Valintine executed some of the more plaintive melodies. In ‘Lucy Neal,’ he moved everyone almost to tears.”
