The main value of YGalpin's contribution is in his power to sort and sift evidence and to apply what may be called a commonsense musical point of view to the theories which have been advanced. While the book is necessarily full of technical detail, it is made intelligible to the ordinary musical reader by the fact that Canon Galpin keeps his eye on the place of this music in the civilization which produced it
