According to Charles Burney, author of A General History of Music (1776-89), the book "contained no late discoveries, no new doctrines either in the theory or practice of the art; yet the form, price, and style were so suited to every kind of musical readers that it seems to have been more generally purchased and read, than any elementary musical tract that ever appeared in this or any other country."Second item: Inscribed by the composer and signed with initials 'W.B.' at foot of first volume and numbered 'No. 140'. Charles Burney wrote that these Sonatas were "more generally purchased and performed and admired than any productions of the kind in this kingdome except those of Corelli. They were not only in constant use, as chamber Music, in private concerts, for which they were originally designed, but in our theatres, as act-tunes, and in public gardens as favourite pieces, during many years."
