To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To say the truth, this question is generally answered mentally before putting it; for I scarcely know a violin-maker who is not persuaded that no instrument can become good until it has been much played upon, and until time has deprived the wood of which it is made of all those properties which are injurious to a fine quality of tone. Now, since this is a question of facts, there are some absolutely opposed to these prejudices : the first of which is, that there exists at this moment, in Paris,... a Stradivarius violin, made in 1716, which, after having reposed during sixty years in the collection of Count Cozio de Salabue, was purchased by Louis Tarisio, in 1824, and has since become the property of M. Vuillaume : but this instrument has never been played upon. * The wood of which it is made is of the choicest description, and remarkable for the richness of its waves. The workmanship is perfec- tion, and the varnish beautiful : in short, nothing is wanting in it. It is a new violin, apparently just out of the maker's hand; and is, finally, the sole instrument of Stradivarius which has come down to us in this state dt' preservation.
