A new system of music, both theorical and practical, and yet not mathematical: written in a manner intirely new; that's to say, in a Style plane and intelligible; and calculated to render the Art more Charming, the Teaching not only less tedious, but more profitable, and the Learning easier by three Quarters. All which is done by tearing off the Veil that has for so many Ages hung before that noble Science. By John Francis de La Fond, who teaches Singing, and the principal Instruments.
