The practice of transposing upon the lines here laid down develops
the "mental ear," quickens the musical perception and gives ease in
sight reading; as it is evident that, if the student can
_transpose_ at sight, he will not have much difficulty in merely
_playing_ at sight. Free use is made of the tonic sol-fa as well as
the standard notation in many musical examples.

"In his Preface the author says: 'The object of the present book is
to give, in one volume, a good general view of the subject to those
who can neither spare time to read, nor money to buy a number of
large and expensive works.' A perusal of the book justifies us in
asserting that this design is most satisfactorily carried out; and
it is not too much to say that although the plan of the work
excludes the possibility of minutely dissecting every subject
treated upon, any careful reader may obtain so clear an insight
into the principle of acoustics, as to enable him not only to pass
an examination but to store up a large amount of general knowledge
upon the phenomena of sound."--_Musical Times._

I here lay before the public that information and advice which I
have hitherto been content to reserve for the sole use of my own
pupils. During a considerable experience, both as a student and as
a teacher of the violin, I have naturally pieced together quite a
variety of small hints and items of information which, though
modest enough individually, have been found on the whole to be of
no inconsiderable value, not only with regard to my own playing,
but also--and which is of far more importance--in enabling me to
impart a knowledge of the art to others.
