10The popular style in which this, like Mr. Honeyman's other works, is written, does not recommend itself as pure literature, but this is the most admirable of his already very useful series of books. Amid many stories of varying relevancy the would-be violin-purchaser is recommended to buy a good new violin rather than a bad old one, which advice, as I have frequently pointed out, is the very best that can be given to collectors and connoisseurs. The information contained in this book about contemporary British violin-makers is most excellent, and will, doubtless, prove of great permanent value.
