Preface
This Handbook contains, in form convenient for everyday use, a
comprehensive digest of the knowledge of making Violins and
other Stringed Instruments, scattered over more than forty
thousand columns of WORK — one of the weekly journals it is my
fortune to edit — and supplies concise In preparing for publication in book form the mass of relevant matter contained in the volumes of WORK, much had to be arranged anew, altered, and largely rewritten. From these causes it is difficult to distinguish the writings of individuals for acknowledgment, but it may be said that contributions from the pens of Mr. David McSkimming and Mr. Robert Ford are incorporated in this work.
Readers who may desire additional information respecting special
details of the matters dealt with in this Handbook, or
instructions on kindred subjects, should address a question to
The Editor, WORK, La Belle Sauvage, London, E.G., so that it may
be answered in the columns of that journal. P. N.
