AN ADDRESS ON MUSIC, DELIVERED BEFORE THE SINGING SOCIETY OF THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH IN BOSTON, ON THE EVENING THE 7TH APRIL, 1814.

Boston: Manning and Loring, [1814]. Original plain drab wrappers, 16pp. Stitched, untrimmed, generously margined with some corners and edges turned. Unobtrusive, small rubberstamp on front wrapper and upper corner of title page. Very Good.

Winchell considers "the elements of music inherent in the constitution of the universe, and are inseparable from its existence." Asking "why there should exist such a principle as the power of sounds, is to ask, why there should be an order in the things of creation?"
