D'ALEMBERT (Jean le Rond): - Elémens de Musique Théorique et Pratique, suivant les Principes de M. Rameau, éclairis, développées et simplifiés. Nouvelle Édition, Revue, corrigée & considérablement augmentée.

Paris, Chez Claude-Antoine Jombert.., 1766. 8vo, pp. [ii], xxxvi, 236 [237 - 239 Approbation and Privilege, 240 blank], 10 folding engraved plates at end of text, title-page in red and black, contemporary slightly mottled French calf, spine ornately gilt in compartments to a flower motif, red leather label; front joint cracked, upper rear joint cracked. This is in fact the second edition, the first having been published in 1752. Part of the importance of d'Alembert's work lies in its secularization of music theory. New Grove terms this "an outstanding work of elucidation."
