1individual violinist. It traces the career of Vieuxtemps from the cradle to the grave with a minuteness and attention to detail which is little short of marvellous. All the main incidents of all his concert tours are faithfully recorded, together with a mass of interesting notes on Vieuxtemps' contemporaries, and the celebrities of all kinds with whom he came in contact during the progress of his long and varied career. The notes upon his family, and the catalogue raisonné of his compositions are by no means the most unimportant or uninteresting section of the work under notice. To this may be added that the plates liberally distributed through the volume and its highly artistic covers, give to it an added value.

7An excellent condensed sketch of the violin, compiled to a great extent from the labours of preceding authors. It is divided broadly into three sections: (i.) The great violin-makers, with slight notes on the period of the final development of the instrument, and giving proper Teutonic prominence to the German, and other more modern schools of manufacture. (ii.) The most celebrated players classed under their various schools, from the Italian Tartini to the German Joachim. The third section, which takes the form of an appendix, is devoted to the theoretico-technics of violin-manufacture with notes upon the bow. The violin world is not a gainer by the publication of this work, and it would not have been a loser had the author left his essay in the ink-pot.
