BIBLIOGRAPHY.<br />
The following books are referred to in the course <strong>of</strong> this work :<br />
Adams, A.—A compendious Dictionary <strong>of</strong> the Latin Tongue. Second<br />
Edition, Edinburgh : 1814.<br />
Adlung, Jakob. — Musica Mechanica <strong>Organ</strong>oedi . Berlin: 1768.<br />

Allihn, Pastor Max.—Die Theorie und Praxis des Orgelbaues. This is<br />
an enlarged and modernized edition <strong>of</strong> Topfer's celebrated work.<br />
It treats exhaustively <strong>of</strong> the theory <strong>of</strong> scaling, etc. Pastor Allihn's<br />
book is one <strong>of</strong> considerable value, although the chapters dealing with<br />
" action "-work, especially, stand badly in need <strong>of</strong> revision.<br />
Be'dos de Celles, Dom Jean Frangois.—L'Art du Facteur d'Orgues.<br />
Paris: 1766-78. Bedos was born at Celles in 1706, entered the<br />
Benedictine Order at Toulouse in 1726, and died at St. Maur in 1779.<br />
He was practically engaged in <strong>organ</strong> building, and instruments<br />
containing some <strong>of</strong> his handiwork still exist at Beziers and Dax<br />
Cathedrals, and elsewhere in France. Dom Be'dos was a member <strong>of</strong><br />
the Bordeaux Academy <strong>of</strong> Sciences, and a Corresponding Member <strong>of</strong><br />
that <strong>of</strong> Paris. It was, indeed, at the request <strong>of</strong> the latter body that<br />
he undertook his monumental treatise on <strong>organ</strong> building. Dom is an<br />
abbreviation <strong>of</strong> Dominus, still the title <strong>of</strong> monks at the present day.<br />
We find, in our own country, the cognate title, Sir, accorded in<br />
mediaeval times to priests. See also Hamel<br />
