Preface HE issue of this book is due wholly to the desire to place before the student a guide, sufficiently concise, and withal adequately Tcomprehensive, to the clearer understanding of the science of or- gan tone-production. To the casual observer the alphabetical ar- rangement of stop-names would seem doubtless to convey the impres- sion that yet a third dictionary of organ stops has been offered to the public. A closer scrutiny, however, should convince the reader that these pages do not seek to cover the same ground occupied by the ex- cellent treatises of W edgwood and of Audsley, but will, it is hoped, reveal the true aim and scope of the author.
