Excerpt from Small Talk at WreylandIn case this volume should be ready by anyone who has not read its predecessor, I am quoting these three paragraphs from that by way of explanation.And first, about the place itself,Wreyland is land by the Wrey, a little stream in Devonshire. The Wrey flows into the Bovey, and the Bovey into the Teign, and the Teign flows out into the sea at Teignmouth. The land is on the east side of the Wrey, just opposite the village of Lustleigh. It forms a manor, and gives its name to a hamlet of six houses, of which this is one.Secondly, about my writing all these things,Down here, when any of the older natives die, I hear people lamenting that so much local knowledge has died with them, and saying that they should have written things down. Fearing that this might soon be said of me, I got a book last Christmas - 1916 - and began to write things down. I meant to keep to local matters, hut have gone much further than I meant.Thirdly, about my publishing what I had written,I wrote this little book for private circulation; and it was actually in type, and ready for printing, before its publication was suggested. I feel some diffidence in inviting strangers to read what I intended only for my personal friends. But it all seems to hang together, and I have not omitted anything.Since that was published I have gone on writing things down in the same way as before. And now I find that I have written enough to make another volume of the same extent; and I hope it is no worse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On the Interpretation of Greek MusicThis departure from the natural order must be connected with the fact that in the lettering for instruments, as well as here, the letters for these sixteen notes are distinguished only by an accent from the letters for the notes an octave lower down. And this all looks as though the sixteen highest notes were added at some later time.In the lettering for instruments the modifications are introduced in groups of three, the object being to associate each pair of supplementary notes with the original note to which they properly belonged.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
