Extract

I think it advisable first of all, to explain a little more fully the title announced in, the Syllabus for this evening's paper, viz. ‘A Practical Method for Beading Harmony.’ The title originally sent was, ‘A Practical Method for Reading Harmony, adapted to performers on the organ or pianoforte, and distinct from the composer's manner of analysis.’ I was kindly recommended to leave something to be explained, rather than adopt a title too long to be well remembered.
