DR. BURNEY'S MUSICAL WORKS.

Mr. Editor,--On pp. 63. and 78. of your columns inquiry is made for

Burney's _Treatise on Music_ (not his _History_). Before correspondents

trouble you with their wants, I think they should be certain that the

books they inquire for have existence. Dr. Burney never published, or

wrote, a _Treatise on Music_. His only works on the subject (the

_General History of Music_ excepted) are the following:--

"The Present State of Music in France and Italy. 8vo. 1771.

"The Present State of Music in Germany, the Netherlands, and

United Provinces. 2 vols. 8vo. 1775.

"An Account of the Musical Performances in Westminster Abbey,

and the Pantheon, &c. in Commemoration of Handel. 4to. 1785.

"A Plan for the Formation of a Musical Academy, 8vo. n. d."

As your "NOTES AND QUERIES" will become a standard book of reference,

strict accuracy on all points is the grand desideratum.
