2Rome, 1776. 4to.
4A somewhat fanciful and incorrect work, but containing a magnificent collection of engravings of persons playing musical instruments. Pages 101-111 and plates 56-71 of the first edition, and rather more of the second edition, are almost entirely devoted to bow instruments. When one has made allowances for the liberties taken by the artist, the book becomes one of the most valuable reference works in existence.
