1This well-known book by William Sandys and Simon Andrew Forster relates the history of the violin from the earliest times up to the nineteenth century, being especially valuable in connection with the instrument makers of the English school, and is the chief literary source of information concerning our old native craftsmen. It is good to bear in mind that as Simon Forster was a skilled and experienced instrument worker, the technical notes to be discovered in the pages of this book in which he collaborated are of considerable worth.
