TitleReferee's report by William Pole, on a paper 'The theory of the division of the octave, and the practic treatment of the musical systems thus obtained. Revised version of a paper entitled 'On just intonation in music with a description of a new instrument for the easy control systems of tuning other than the equal temperament of 1 divisions in the octave' by Robert Holford Macdowall Bosanquet
Date16 January 1875
DescriptionThe revised paper still seems 'very long' and should be shortened. Would rather Mr Ellis' opinion on the paper was taken over his.
