This edition comes fully illustrated. From the introduction to the book: "The making of harpsichords flourished in Italy throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. The Italian instruments were of simpler construction than those built by the North Europeans, and they lacked the familiar second manual and array of stops. In this paper, typical examples of Italian harpsichords from the Hugo Worch Collection in the United States National Museum are described in detail and illustrated. Also, the author offers an explanation for certain puzzling variations in keyboard ranges and vibrating lengths of strings of the Italian harpsichords. The Author: John D. Shortridge is associate curator of cultural history in the United States National Museum, Smithsonian Institution."

Crafts & Hobbies

This is a relatively short book, published in 1899, showing some exquisite examples of pen drawing, and instructing the reader on how to produce them. Maginnis was a celebrated architect, and his love of buildings comes through in the text. The tone of the book can be a bit dated, but that adds to its historical interest, and the instruction is as true today as it was when the text was written.
