Published by Novello, Ewer & Co. and Adam & Charles Black, 1890. Limited First Edition. Large Quarto. xvi, 173, [i] (colophon) pp. + 18 plates. With title printed in red and black, decorative head- and tailpieces and numerous extensive musical examples throughout. Later maroon half leather over matching moire cloth boards with titles in gilt on front cover and spine, beautiful marble end papers. Ex Library copy with ink stamps on the verso of most plates. Scarce. Limited to 700 copies and 50 artists' proofs. The plates are printed chromolithographically after the original coloured drawings by William Gibb, who contributed the illustrations to Hipkins's celebrated work, "Musical Instruments, Historic, Rare and Unique," published in 1888.

This attractively produced book is the first serious study of the music and musical instruments of southern India. It covers the history and theory of the different styles to be found, including temple music, street music, and drama, and provides a detailed description of instruments illustrated with superb chromolithograph colour plates. An extensive bibliography of western and Indian books and manuscripts on Indian music is appended.

The Society of Writers (Solicitors in Scotland were previously known as "writers") to Her Majesty's Signet is a private society of Scottish solicitors, dating back to 1594 and part of the College of Justice. Writers to the Signet originally had special privileges in relation to the drawing up of documents which required to be signed, but these have since disappeared and the Society is now an independent, non-regulatory association of solicitors. The Society maintains the Category A listed Signet Library, part of the Parliament House complex in Edinburgh, and members of the Society are entitled to the post nominal letters.
