Toveys text is reproduced faithfully; however Dr Cooper has added footnotes to correct errors of fact or to qualify conclusions drawn by Tovey that the passage of time since the book was first published in 1931 has suggested might be questionable.- with the re-issue of this book Toveys famed insight commonsense and wit will continue to enlighten and entertain the authors devotees as well as a new generation of performers and students.
