To

MR.

AVISON,

The Author of an Essay on Musical Expreffion, concerning the MUSIC of the ANCIENTS. *

SIR,

THE mufic of the ancients and of the moderns hath been often and fully difcuffed by the learned, and I have only a flender and fuperficial knowledge of the theory either of the former or of the latter. What is it then that I can offer you upon this fubject? In truth, nothing better than a few ftraggling paffages of claffic authors relating to mufic, and a few flight remarks added to them.
