The Violin Part 25

TESTIMONIAL FROM THE AUTHOR.

"London, June, 1843.

"I have carefully looked over the English edition of my Violin School, published by Messrs. c.o.c.ks and Co. and have no hesitation in recommending it as a faithful translation of the original work.

"LOUIS SPOHR."

The following is the reply to the Inscription Letter of the Publishers, received by them from the Secretary to the

ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC:

"Royal Academy of Music, February 13th, 1843.

"Sir,-I am directed by the Committee of Management of this Inst.i.tution, to state that they have much pleasure in granting your wish to publish their names as patronizing your edition of SPOHR'S VIOLIN SCHOOL. I am farther instructed to return you their best thanks for your donation of a copy of the above Work, and which they have felt much pleasure in directing to be placed in the Library of the Academy.

"I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,

"To Robert c.o.c.ks, Esq."

"J. GIMSON, Secretary."

_From the Morning Chronicle._

"This edition is fully equal in value to the original German; or, indeed, superior to it, when we consider the useful notes added by the Translator, and the correct and beautiful manner in which the Volume has been brought out by the Publishers."

_From the Spectator._

"Any criticism on a work of such standing and repute as SPOHR'S VIOLIN SCHOOL would now be superfluous, if not impertinent. Its reputation has long been established throughout Europe; and the testimony of the best judges has stamped it as the most perfect work of its kind."
