for an indefinite pause a double m d'ash; and for a definite pause a triple m dash. The rest will be represented by points without letters; instead of the repeat will be used an index thus ; in place of the bind, if the distance from letter to letter is short, will be used a hyphen ; and, if long, a half parenthesis; a slur will also be expressed by a half parenthesis; a half bracket will be the direction as to how many letters go to a syllable in singing, and a brace will be placed at the beginning of the lines as it is used for triplets in poetry {.

The distinctions of measure, as they relate to time, from slow to fast, or as they relate to expression from soft to loud, are intended to be expressed by comnion English words, as slow for adagio, quick for allegro, soft for piano, loud for forte, &c.

The apogiature, which is signified in common notation by a small note will now be expressed by a small letter, appropriate to the type in which the music is printed, just as the type called English requires longprimer, pica, bourgeois, &c. Various graces will be understood by words instead of marks, such as beat, shake, turn, tril, &c.

EXPLANATION OF THE SCALE. (See Fig. 4. Pl. V.)

On this scale are placed sixty keys, which go on in successional half tones. With the exception of the lower left hand notes F and G, the letters are placed in sevens; the first seven being large Roman capitals, the second seven large Italic capitals, the third seven small . Roman capitals, the fourth seven small or lower case Roman, and the fifth seven, or rather six, small Italic. By means of the five-and-twenty short keys the whole scale is so separated that the notes are a half tone from each other. The short keys, which represent the flats and sharps in music, are now to be considered as the grave or acute accents, according to circumstances. To shew this I will describe by way of specimen the seven letters and their appropriate accents, which are distinguished by small Roman capitals. The short key to the right of A is its acute accent; the short key to the left of A is its grave accent; the acute accent of B is c because no short key to the right interferes; the same short key to the left that made the acute accent of a makes the grave accent of B. Our third letter is c, of which the short key to the right is the acute accent, and B itself is the grave accent. D has a regular acute and grave accent right and left. the short key to the left, and its acute accent in the letter F to the right, as F has its grave accent in E to the left, and its acute accent in the short key to the right, and G, like D, has its acute and grave accents in the short keys to the right and left.

E has its grave accent in

It is possible to facilitate the learning still more, by pasting printed letters on the keys of the instrument, which would wear off as the pupil became perfect.
