To favour these essential purposes, the numerous articles are given in as compressed a form as their necessary lucidity would allow. While obscurity has been avoided, conciseness has been studied brevity has uniformly been sought, though never at the expenseof clouding the explanation. While no terms have been insufficiently defined, every thing requiring to be more than ordinarily perspicuous has received the fullest light that care could throw upon it. In a word, What ever regards theory or execution, composition or per formance, has been studiously treated; and the author trusts, that this Verbal Guide will be found to comprise all that a musical vocabulary can be expected to con tain, whether to gratifythe curiosity of adult amateurs.
