Mrs Jordan has a voice,
the tones of which are infinitely more musical and sweet than those of any professional singer we have.
There is also an interest about her singing, arising not from what may be called musical feeling, but
the impression of
the subject. Thus, though sometimes a little untrue, we love her songs, and forbear to weigh
them in
the diatonic or chromatic scales" (
