Organ (Musical instrument) -- History
The parts advertised above are all that have been published, as the
untimely death of Mr. Warman prevented the completion of the work.
The book is a mine of wealth for those interested in organ
subjects. The author devoted the best part of his life in compiling
the work and collecting material for his subject.
