The Palace and Park by Phillips, Forbes, Latham, Owen, Scharf, and Shenton

[Born at Genoa, 1784. Died at Nice, 1840. Aged 56.] The greatest of modern fiddlers, who performed in the principal cities of Europe, and acquired more fame and money by playing on one string, than any of the brotherhood ever gained on all four. He looked like a magician, and his playing justified his looks. [By Dantan, 1837.]
