- "In 1730 there was published anonymously 'A [short] treatise on harmony...' As the rules contained in the book were those Pepusch was in the habit of imparting to his pupils, and as they were published without the necessary musical examples, he felt compelled to adopt the work, and accordingly in 1731 published a 'Second edition'...It was conjectured that the first edition was put forth by Viscount Paisley, afterward Earl of Abercorn."--Grove.
