Belonging to a family oi afHuence and excellent Hocial position, she received at an early ago the advantages- of a thorough luusical education. As her stadies progressed, it l>ecame apparent that she passessed very remarkable musical talent, and, by the advice of her friends, she was en'ered in the Itoyal Auade^ny of Music, where she became remarkably hkilllnl as u pianist. The parents of Madam Anna Bishcip at first destined her for this instrument, and, eveniually, confided her to tlie care of M. Moscheli-s, the great German musician, who was the instructor also of Mendelsshon and Liszt. In the meantime her voice enveloped into a sweet and pure soprano of extraordinary capacity, and il was decided for her to becor 3 a singer. Tbe wisdom of such a decision has been proved by the wonderful success that has crowned her efforts as a vocalisL Madame Bishop's progrtss in vo;al art was so rapid and pronounced that, wh ■& qiite young, she was prepart^d to make her debnl in London at a coucert, at which also appeared Grisi, Garcia, Persiani, Bubini, Tamburini and Lal>- lache ; Thaiburg and Dohler presided at the pianoforte, and Bochsa at the harp. Notwithstandinp this stupendous array of talent, n«'ver exceeded, if equalled, in the annals of concert-giving, the youthful cantatrice created a furore, and made one uf the most brilliant debuts on record. Madam Bishop was engaged to appear at the great musical festivals of Gloucester, Worcester, York, and Hereford. Not satislied with her great successes in Greit Britain, Madame Bishop started upon a grand tour of Europe, and fang before nearly all of the Crowned Hu-ads of that continent, receiving i*uperb gifts from Royalty, being received socially in their p daces, and pro- ducing an enthusiasm among all classes.
