Author: James D Brown
Published 1886 with over 600 pages of information on musicians, instrument makers, authors, players and composers of many different countries. Apart from the well-known and famous, this unique dictionary also includes personalitites which probably are not documented elsewhere. A useful reference source of hard-to-find information.
The author, James D Brown, wrote on subjects including music, literature and labrianship. He also helped to develop the library classification system as we know it. His writing style, needless to say, is clear and well organised.
