Abstract
MUSIC is now being cultivated in a much more earnest and thorough manner than heretofore, not only as a practical art, but as a matter of theoretical and historical interest, as is evidenced by the late formation of a “Society for the study of the Art and Science of Music,” the object of which is to encourage musical studies of a higher character than those comprised in ordinary musical training. Hence, as the early history of music is one of the most interesting as well as one of the most obscure topics connected with the art, an authoritative new investigation like that before us is of real value.
The History of Music.
