'... fascinating insights into a vibrant period of English music history. Both volumes are highly recommended'. Early Music America 'The texts are meticulously edited by Wardhaugh; much useful historical information is given.

Downloadable digital facsimiles of many of the publications are certainly available, but the reader is not challenged in his or her views and

Later in his life Salmon devoted his attention to an exploration of the possible reform of musical pitch and raised questions about the
