Abstract
IN a review of my “History of Music,” in NATURE, vol. xi. p. 123, your musical critic takes me to task for having cautioned English readers against certain new theories which are to be found in the works of the late F. J. Fétis and in the “Tonempfindungen” of Prof. Helmholtz. I think those cautions very necessary, and perhaps, when your critic has studied the subject, he may think so too; but in the meantime he bows down before such names, and cautions me that if Fétis were alive he “would not be in my shoes for a trifle.”
