1Dedication.
3To Dr. Joseph Joachim.
5Dear Dr. Joachim,
7During the fifty years that England has been, as you felicitously expressed it, your "second home," our countrymen have learnt what Germany has done for the art of Violin-playing. It is, therefore, with a keen sense of the fitness of things that we address to you these observations upon the services rendered to the art of Violin-making by your countrymen.
9We are, most sincerely yours,
11Edward and Marianna Heron-Allen.
13London,
14July, 1894.
