Thursday, 24 April 1845 : Mr. Lindsay Sloper's Concert at Erard's, Paris.

Le brillant concert donné par M. Lindsay Sloper dans les salons d'Erard a fait apprécier de nouveau le beau talent de cet artiste. Le concert donné par lui l'an passé nous avait persuadé qu'il ne lui restait presque plus de progrès à faire sur lui-même. Le concert de cette année nous a prouvé le contraire. Un artiste tout dévoué à son art peut toujours marcher en avant dans la route sans fin de la perfection. Une année de travail a développé et augmenté encore les éminentes qualités de ce jeune artiste qui, dans le nombre et la sincérité des applaudissemens qui l'ont accueilli, a trouvé une juste et glorieuse récompense. M. Lindsay Sloper est appelé à prendre place au premier rang. [Translation : The brilliant concert given by Mr. Lindsay Sloper in the salons of Erard once again made us appreciate the beautiful talent of this artist. The concert he gave last year had convinced us that he had almost no more progress to make on himself. This year's concert proved the opposite to us. An artist completely devoted to his art can always walk forward in the endless road to perfection. A year of work has developed and further increased the eminent qualities of this young artist who, in the number and the sincerity of the applause which welcomed him, found a just and glorious reward. Mr. Lindsay Sloper is called to take the front row.] (Le Siècle : journal politique, littéraire et d'économie sociale, Wednesday, 2 April 1845)

PARIS.- Mr. Lindsay Sloper gave a concert on Thursday evening, at Erard's. This deserving young artist has talents that may ripen by cultivation into first-rate excellence. A quartet of Mozart's came o'er the ewar like the sweet south. Fragments from Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Chopin, and an original waltz, were executed by Mr. Sloper with much neatness and brilliancy. M. Herman wrought wonders on the violin; and vocal assistance was rendered by M. Goldberg, Mlle. Because, and the accomplished Mme. Mulder Duport, whose brother conducted. The programme, which frequently lies like an epitaph, was for once faithfully adhered to. - Galignani's Messenger. (The Musical world, Thursday, 1 May 1845)
