The following books are referred to in the course <strong>of</strong> this work :<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 />
