Heron- Allen refused Mr. P. W. Pickup's offer of ^"2, 000 for his splendid library of books and pamphlets on Fiddles and Fiddle- makers. He was born in London in 1 86 1, was educated at Harrow, and very soon began fiddle-making, and then published his book " Violin Making, as it Was and Is. " The Rev. Meredith Morris, in his book on "British Violin Makers, " 1904, says: Mr. Heron-Allen has ceased to make fiddles, John Askew Violin Maker. 91 but is keener than ever on Fiddle Lore. Since 1885 he ...has continued to amass books on the subject, and he is proud to possess a good many works which are not represented in the British Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale, nor in the Bibliotheque Royale in Brussels. He published a catalogue of them in 1891-94, in two volumes, quarto, under the title of De Fidiculis Bibliographia, comprising about 1400 items. For his first book he was sent by the Commisioners of the Inventions and Music Exhibition of 1885 to collect ancient musical instruments, and he received a certificate of merit and a silver medal ; for his Bibliography he was elected Socio Onorario e Beuemerito of the Academia di Santa Cecilia in Rome.
