Secret Correspondence By Music


Form a circle like Fig. 2, divided into twenty-six parts, with a

letter of the alphabet written in each. The interior of the circle is

moveable, like that in Fig. 1, and the circumference is to be ruled

like music-paper. Place in each division a note different in figure or

position.









Within the musical lines place the three keys, and on the outer circle

the figures to denote time. Then get a ruled paper, and place one of

the keys (suppose ge-re-sol) against the time 2-4ths, at the

beginning of the paper, which will inform your correspondent how to

place his circle. You then copy the notes that answer to the letters

of the words you intend to write, in the manner expressed above.
