The history of the violin, and other instruments played on with the bow from the remotest times to the presentAlso, an account of the principal makers, English and foreign, with numerous illustrationsBy William Sandys and Simon Andrew Forster . etis, as far as they relate to the subject of ourwork, and, in common with all lovers of music, mustexpress the obligation we are under to him for his inter-esting publications ; and have to thank Mons. Vuillaume,the celebrated French maker, for a copy of AntoineStradivari. We have also, especially, to give our PREFACE. Vll thanks to that distinguished writer, Mons. de Cousse-maker, for the interest he has shown in our undertaking,and the leave he has kindly given us to copy or trace allor any of the illustrations to his valuable ^ Essai sur lesInstruments de Musique au Moyen Age, in AnnalesArcheologiques. We have been able to introduce someoriginal letters of Haydn, which we think will be ofinterest. We have endeavoured to give our opinion of the originof the bow impartially, and if any differ from us wewould gladly hear their proofs and reasons, our objectbeing to get at the truth.
