Transcriber’s Notes
This e-text is based on ‘The Harmonicon, Part the First,’ from 1833. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation have been retained, but punctuation and typographical errors have been corrected. Uncommon and outdated spelling has not been altered.
In the table of contents, the ‘Foreign Musical Reports’ for the towns of Marienburg and Nurenberg have no correlation to any passages in the text. In some tables, the numbering of items seems to be incorrect. Since the source of error cannot be determined, the numbering scheme has been retained.
‘Months’ have been printed at the bottom of the pages in the original. These references have been changed into side notes at the top of the corresponding page for each new month.
