1INTRODUCTION.
3THE following letters by Charles Reade, were first published in the Pall-Mall Gazette, on the 19th, 24th, 27th, and 31st of August, 1872, and are now reprinted from a copy courteously furnished by Mrs. E. S. Muntz of Birmingham, England.
5It is most fortunate for us lovers of the violin that a man of such wide experience and knowledge has interested himself in the art and given to us the result of some of his observations.
7To the artist and connoisseur the information afforded in these letters is of permanent value, as Mr. Reade was undoubtedly one of the very best judges we have ever had, and as both artists and amateurs will have their stock of knowledge largely increased by a careful study of the letters, I hope to receive their thanks for placing them again in print.
