THE GENEUPHONIC GRAMMAR.

UNDER THE EXPRESS PATRONAGE OF II. R. H. PRINCE ALBERT.

2 Vols. Royal 8vo. Price 21s.

A Grammar of Harmony, Counterpoint, and Musical Composition; or the Generation of Euphony reduced to Natural Truth. By the late GENERAL J. J. VIRUES Y SPINOLA. Edited by the late BARON F. T. A. CHALUZ DE VERNEVIL, A.M. Dedicated, by special permission, to H. R. H. PRINCE ALBERT. Longmans: London; 1850.

Nor is there to be found in all the exchanges of international courtesy, and the abatements of international jealousy, which foster such ardent and well-grounded hopes for the future peace and happiness of mankind, any more encouraging symptoms of a nascent tendency in the nations to accept what is good in others, to supply from abroad the deficiencies of fatherland, and to regard foreign excellence without distrust, than the present motion of the European schools of music, to an unity of sentiment and an amalgamation of style. Whilst we recognize the evidence of that state of transition to a more perfect condition and a more generous tone of society over the earth, which the illustrious and accomplished patron of the Geneuphonic Theory, the Prince Albert, hails with emphatic and earnest cordiality, we see in the manifest confluence of the musical schools, a proof that we are
