Excerpt from Short Studies in the Nature of Music The Origin and Nature of Music are subjects upon which most scientists and all senti mentalists have their own theories. The fol lowing essays attempt neither to teach the one nor to guide the other, but merely to suggest some lines of thought for the average thinking person who is interested in the subject. Most Of them have passed the primary test of editorial scrutiny, others have been delivered as lectures to audiences, alike learned and unlearned, in many different places in England and Ireland, some of the original papers being modified as the result of discussions following the publicity so afforded.
