Apparently never published treatise 'Musica Practica. An Essay... for a Compendium of Practical Music in Two Parts. 1. Of the Rudiments. 2. Of Composition. Also rules for the Accompanyments to A Bass. With Instructions for Tuning, & Stringing, the Harpsichord. Ar. Wood. Written in the second quarter of the 18th cent. Fair copy of a nearly completed work. The last published work to which reference is made is The Tonometer, by Ambrose Warren, 1725 (p. 101). Corrections were written on slips and pasted in: one of these (p. 49b) already bore the date 1728; another (p. 52c) contains a reference to the French edition of Rameau [Traité de l'harmonie, 1722, English translation of part of which was published as A Treatise of Musick in 1752].

On pp. 98 and 105 are notes by Samuel Ellis on strings for 'modern Piano-Fortes' dated 1794.

xiii + 155 pages. Pp. 79-83, 104-118 left blank by Arthur Wood.
