An introduction to a treatise on the proportions of the constituent parts of bells ; and on the relative proportions of bells of different degrees of acuteness and gravity to each other. Being a complete system, wherein the proportional dimensions of all parts of bells are defined. The compound proportions are reduced to their elements and traced analitically and the laws on which they depend are clearly unravelled, by which a perfect concordance is effected throughout all the parts, and the most melodious tones produced in consequence.

Accomplished by a course of researches and experiments, continued with much pertinacity, during a preiod of more than thirty years, with little intermission. By James Harrison ...
