Harmonics: Or The Philosophy Of Musical Sounds (1749) is a book written by Robert Smith that explores the principles of sound and music. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on the nature of sound, including its properties, propagation, and reception. The second part delves into the science of music, discussing topics such as the structure of musical scales, the principles of harmony, and the mechanics of musical instruments. Throughout the book, Smith draws on the works of previous scholars, including Pythagoras and Isaac Newton, to develop his own theories on the nature of sound and music. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of acoustics and has been influential in the development of modern music theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
