By WILLIAM POLE, Mus. Doc. Oxon. Fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh ; one of the Examiners in Music to the University of London. The great and justly celebrated work recently published by Professor Helmholtz, of Berlin, The Doctrine of the Perception of Musical Sounds, considered as a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music, consists of two parts, which may be called the Physical and the Musical Parts respectively. The former, containing the author's novel investi- gations and discoveries in the domains of Acoustics, has been already mado familiar in this country by popular illustrative works; but the latter portion, which is the more interesting to the musical public, as containing the philosophical application of these investigations and discoveries to the Science of Music, has received, as yet, but little attention, and can only be studied in the elaborate form in which it exists in the author's treatise. The object of the present publication is to explain tlio Philosophical Theory of Music, as based on Heimholtz's investigations, in a way which, it is hoped, will be intelligible to practical musicians, and to such of the general pubbe as take an interest in tho art And it is thought 1 hat such an introduction to tho subject may be particularly useful at the present time, when tho Universities are beginning to insist on theoretical knowledge as an indispensable qualification for the musical honours granted by them.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21782477_0425.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
