think that it supplies a real want in giving musicians such an
excellent description of all matters referring to this important
instrument."

SIGNOR GUIDO PAPINI writes--"Thanks so much for your splendid and
interesting book. You are quite successful and all the artists and
amateurs are indebted to you for a so exact and correct a '_Texte_'
on the subject."

ADOLF BRODSKY writes--"I am delighted with the book and find it very
instructive, even for those who think to know everything about the
bow. It is very original and at times very amusing. No violinist
should miss the opportunity to buy it."

THE TIMES.--"A useful treatise on the Bow, in which the history,
manufacture and use of the bow are discussed with considerable
technical knowledge."

DAILY TELEGRAPH.--"To the student there is much of interest in the
work, which has the advantage of being copiously illustrated."

DAILY NEWS.--"This book seems practically to exhaust its subject."
