Below that is a woodcut of the Theatre and a picture•of a female seated and wearing a helmet; by her side are a shield, on which is depicted a gorgon's head and a spear. Around her, but on the ground, a book with a chaplet of oak leaves and a wand with wings on the top and entwined with two serpents. Then, a reminder of the days of press censorship, " Imprimatur Guil Delaune Vice-Can. Oxon. Junii 3, 1703." Then comes on the following page a dedication to Reverendo Viro S.T.P.

The subject of Harmony should be put down as a subject for a degree course in Music. The School must be congratulated on having this book, as it is rare. There may be another copy in the Oxford Library and perhaps in the library of some continental university. It may be the only copy now in existence. A. E. Chapman (1869-1875). •
