J. Henderson is a historical account written in the late 19th century.

The book delves into various musical styles, key developments, and influential composers, making it a comprehensive resource for those interested in the history of music. At the start of the book, Henderson outlines the origins of modern music, emphasizing the role of medieval church music and its evolution from Roman and Greek influences. He explains how early Christian chants lacked a systematic structure and how significant figures like Pope Gregory and St. Ambrose contributed to the development of a unified liturgical music system.
