Excerpt from The Rudiments of Harmony: With Progressive Exercises and Appendix

Being addressed to beginners, its explanations are all dogmatical; no argu ments are advanced to justify any views of the subject which are set forth since such a style of teaching would perplex the unpractised attention of a pupil and ample vindication of all that is here stated is to be found in books fitted rather for studied musicians than for mere learners. The book contains nothing new in theory but it differs in arrangement from works that have already appeared, according as practice has led me to differ in teaching, from the course pursued in any of these works; its chief pretensions are in the endeavour to state first principles distinctly, and to remove discrepancies between the laws of early theorists and the practice of modern composers.

To facilitate reference, each chapter contains all that is said upon the branch of the subject therein treated; though the course of study will render it necessary to pass to some later chapters before concluding earlier ones. Thus, in the chapter on Intervals, it is not desirable to read of Intervals beyond the Octave, until the student have advanced to the chapter on Suspensions, in which the employment of the interval of the 9th is first noticed - in the chapter on Keys and Scales, it is not desirable to read of the Minor Key until the Student have written exercises of common chords in the Major Key; or to read of the chromatic scale, until he have advanced to the treatment of chromatic chords; &c. The order in which the book should first be read, is indicated in the Table of Contents, where the several divisions of the subject are progressively ranged according to the succession in which they should be studied.
