To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His ideas are not very distinctly stated : but he seems, to place Virtue in a proper management of the affections ; its recommendation to others, in its congeniality to our moral taste ; and its obligation on ourselves, in the advantages it procures us : and he very happily describes the in- fluence of true religion, of superstition, and of atheism, on its operation. — He evidently shews himself to be a Deist. Looked into D'Alembert's Elemens de Musique. His evolution of harmony, at the opening... (L. I.e. 1.), from the harmonical sounds inseparably combined with every musical note, however apparently simple ; and which, though so intimately blended with the principal and generative tone as to escape ordinary observation, may clearly be detected and distinguished from it by a delicate ear, — is to me quite new, and very satisfactory. This natural and inherent affinity between concordant sounds, evinced (where we should least expect to find it) in the elements themselves out of which all artificial concords are composed, seems to place the principles of modern harmony on a very solid basis ; and enables us to advance a step farther in accounting for the gratification arising from musical composition, than is allowed to our curiosity in investigating the sources of most of the other pleasures of taste.
