I have managed to acquire digital images of all of the original 1775
book, and have put an image of the five crucial pages which specify
the mathematics to describe his tuning proposals derived from π at:

Hi Charles, and members,

Thanks for these! I've downloaded, enlarged, printed, scanned and
edited these 6 pages - including the cover with your notes - and now
have them available for upload as a Word document, and also as a PDF.

My versions keep the same text on each page, but not always the same
line breaks. Also, I've deliberately used the letter f in place of
the
old-style long s, not having such to hand.

If anyone is interested, I can upload them to tuning-files, or email
them directly.

I've also thought of "translating" the document into a more modern
English, but will only do so if any list member wants that.

Regards,
Yahya
