It is held by a good many people and I am not concerned to contradict them that the time spent by music-students in acquiring a knowledge of Acoustics is time wasted. The fact however remains that many students do so spend some of their time ;and musical examinations, by asking questions on the subject, force them to continue doing so. And I suppose every one will agree that, if a subject must be studied, it is best to study it intelligently. The experience of a good rnany years, both in teaching and examining, has convinced me that very few students ever succeed in grasping the underlying principles of Acoustics at all. They acquire the jargon, and store their minds with text-book facts ;but they seldom grip the scientific basis on which the theory of sound is built. And in support of this contention I will advance two conclusions it would be easy to give a dozen to which I am driven by the answers to questions set in examination-papers.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
