Letter to Charles Burney (1726-1814), Massingham, 1763 Mar 18-21.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702177645

Draft of a letter, in a single hand, with many corrections, from William Bewley to Charles Burney. The letter responds to a letter from Burney, denying Burney's flattering comments about Bewley; comments at length on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's system of education as well as the works of the composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini; and asks for recommendations for a treatise on music and for "some solos, duets, or sonatas to purchase."

1 v. (4 p.) ; 35 x 23 cm.
