Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society', suggests publication in the Proceedings to follow on from an earlier work published there by the same author. Refers to work by François-Joseph Fétis 'Histoire Generale de la Musique Volume II' 1869, on which the current paper does not add much.
