REGIUS Professors. King Henry VIII. founded 

 five leftures in each of our univerfities : viz. of Divinity, 

 Hebrew, Greek, Law, and Phyfic ; the readers of which 

 leisures are in the univerfity ftatutes called regit prof ejfores.

REGLE de rOHave, Fr., a rule for accompanying the 

 oiElave afcending and defcending in the bafe ; giving to each 

 note of the fcale its appropriate harmony in every key. 

 This rule, well known and praftifed in the 24 keys, major 

 and minor, will enable ftudents in thorough-baie to figure a 

 bafe themfelves, and to accompany modern mufic without 

 figures. 



It is difputed in France who was the inventor of this rule : 

 Rameau and Roufleau aflign it to De Laire, M. Laborde 

 to Campion. " This formula," fays Roufleau, " was firfl 

 publiflied by De Laire in 1700." If this date could be 

 afcertained, it would remove all doubts concerning the au- 

 thor of the rule ; as Campion's " Treatife of Accompani- 

 ment" is not pretended to have appeared till after 1705. 



This rule afcertains what chords or harmony belong 

 to every diatonic movement of the bafe, afcending and 

 defcending. See Accompakiment, or Thorough-base; 

 where the bafe will be figured, and the chords written 

 over it. We confine the infallibility of this rule to 

 modern mufic, as no provifion is made for 4ths and rjths, 

 which fo frequently occur in Corelli, Geminiani, and Han- 

 del. But thefe difcords, and feveral other combinations, are 

 confidered m the articles Counterpoint and Accompa- 

 niment, o^Thorougli-lafc; which fee. 



By this formula it vv-ill appear, that to the key-note there 

 is always a common chord ; to the 2d of the key, a • ; to 

 the 3d of the key, a 6th ; to the 4th of the key, a % ; 

 to the 5th of the key, a common chord. Thus far the 

 chords are rigoroufly in one key ; but in order to conneft 

 the 6th to the 5th, Rameau gives the chord of the -i to the 

 6th, as in defcending, which makes it the 2d of a new key ; 

 but then to recover the modulation into the original key, he 

 gives \ t^ to the 7t]i or noU Jlufihk of the key, and then ter-
