IN order that this little work may be of general utility, the author has carefully endeavoured to collect and explain clearly those facts universally accepted as the ground-work of Harmony, rather than bring forward any special opinions he himself may have formed. He therefore hopes that it will be found suitable as a preparatory textbook to any standard work on the same subject of a more advanced type?
