> centuries. The
> TFM may be accessed through the following URL:
> http://www.music.indiana.edu/tfm
> or you may find a link for it on the CHMTL homepage:
> http://www.music.indiana.edu/chmtl.
>> From the TFM homepage you may follow links to the Introduction
>> and to the
> Principles of Orthography and Encoding. Presently available texts and
> graphics are in the Eighteenth-Century file list, which
> includes all the
> longer treatises of Rameau, as well as works of Rousseau. Currently in
> progress and soon to be placed online are writings by Mersenne,
> Sauveur,
> d'Alembert, Bourgeois, Le Roy, and Charpentier, along with the complete
> Dictionnaire of Rousseau.
> The directors of the CHMTL and TFM welcome all questions, comments,
