The rest are names and nothing else — which is an honest description of the evidence, and an invitation: if you know one of these makers, we want to hear from you.

  8. Albert, A scan page 51, line 14 mention only — no record here yet

    A European connoisseur has sent out the following description of the violin: "Here we have a Guarnerius violin in a wonderful state of preservation. No instrument ever showed the masterly workmanship to better advantage.

    We are glad to note the tendency of artists and teachers to give due praise to the makers of violins they choose for their use. It is so easy to find fault, that the mere justice of a word of praise for something well done, is too often overlooked. Writing to Mr. W. S. Goss, the Boston violin maker, Mr. Richard B.
