"■ 2clly, In the G column, the G wolf. 



" Sdly, In the D column, the D wolf. 



-" 4thly, In the A column, the A wolf. 



**-And those Foun, together with the auiNT WOLP, 

 make the five wolves which I have mentioned above. 

 And it was From my having observed these five distinct 

 "WOLVES, that I was led to find out that superior mode of 

 tuning keyed instruments which I am now going to de- 

 scribe." 



Where does Mr. Farev find, in what I have said, the 

 five columns which he has thus i//f/Cf«/'a/f'/y mentioned ? 

 I speak distinctly of four series of major thirds which are 

 unalterably distinct from each other. I represent them in 

 FOUR columns. ,1 expressly mention the three major 

 thirds which each of those foor columns contains respec- 

 tively. I specify four wolves (not five wolves) in the 

 mnjor thirds, namely, one in each of those four natural 

 and unalterable columns; and I state expressly and most 

 distinctly, that "those four, together with the auiNT 

 WOLF, make the five wolves which I have mentioned 

 above." For, as for the column, which has for its title, at 

 the top of it, these words, viz. " higher octaves of the 

 keys in the first column ;" it is obvious, from bare inspec- 

 tion, that it is neither more nor less than the first column 

 repeated; and that it contains all the same notes precisely, 

 zwA none oilier ', namely, the three notes, C, E, and A 

 flat ; which are the very notes which compose the C column, 

 or the FIRST of the four series oi major thirds. 



How can this mathematician divide the twelve series of 

 major' thirds into five equal series ? Or, by what means 

 will he divide the number twelve, into five equal or aliquot 

 parts ? Or how can he contrive to place in five distinct co- 

 lunnis, the four natural and unalterable series of three 

 major thirds each ; wxihoui repeating, in the fifth column, 

 some one of those four series ? 



Having explained, in my Treatise, the nature of the C 

 wolf, in the C column ; I then say, that '■'there will he 

 found an exactly similar wolf in each ff the other three 

 columns." That is to say, in the G column, in the D co- 

 lumn.
