Description

Suggests the author modify his paper to include the references to the book by François-Joseph Fétis 'Histoire Generale de la Musique Volume II' of 1869, and to avoid any addition of new material. Would rather the paper be shortened rather than lengthened.

[Published in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London', 1877]
