The catalogue of writings on Sound in the Table of
Contents is prepared with the greatest care from the
Catalogue of Dr. Young, in his Lectures on Natural
Philosophy, and from an examination of every volume
of the Memoirs of the Academies of Paris, Turin,
Berlin, Petersburgh, Göttingen, Philadelphia, Boston,
of the Philosophical Transactions of London, Edin-
burgh, Dublin, Cambridge, the Journal de Physique
by M. Rosier, the Journal Polytechnique, Annales des
Mathematiques, various Catalogues and Journals, and
the works of Bernoulli, D'Alembert, Cauchy, &c.
