The Music of Hindostan c18.13

c18.13

And every one who is interested in the music of India will look forward eagerly to another by the same hand, which is perhaps hinted at on p. 4, containing a ‘census of Indian Rāgas’ grouped ‘according to the principles of correct intonation’. If such a book appeared, written with authority, it would supersede all the books on the subject.
