relative to the principles of Harmony or Thorough-bass as the limits of this little work would allow, in order to facilitate and render intelligible to the pupil any future study of the theory of music.

I hope, therefore, that a frequent and attentive perusal of this little work, and an intelligent application of the rules given therein, will prove of utility to pupils of every age, and in every stage of their progress; since I have endeavoured, in them, to avoid as far as possible the dryness so generally complained of in works of instruction, and to place every subject within the comprehension of a pupil of whatever age.

Though these Letters are written as a kind of Appendix to my own Pianoforte School, still they may be used with equal advantage along with any other Method; and may therefore, perhaps, be considered as a not unwelcome assistance to pupils in general.
