Synopsis

This book, first published in 1878, is a detailed exploration of the origins and effects of music, examining its natural and scientific origins alongside its influence on the physical and moral being of man. In addition to discussing the history of musical instruments from ancient times, the author puts forward theories on how listening to music affects people. He divides music's effects into four categories: intelligence, sentiment, locomotion, and sensibility. This book is significant for containing one of the first theories on the specific effects of different types of music on the mind and body, a field that is still being researched today.
