- Note
First edition. A major treatise by a leading manufacturer, marking the evolution of the instrument from minstrel stage to concert hall. This is an early issue with uncorrected textual errors e.g. "seemad" for "seemed" on p. 30, line 12, "audiance" for "audience", p. 14, line 12 from bottom, and "affect" for "effect" on p. 64, line 5 from bottom. Most notably, subsequent editions did not include the nine portraits of professional players, but only the portrait of Stewart.
