James Ingall Wedgwood, in writing his excellent "Dictionary of Organ
Stops," felt it incumbent upon him to offer an apology, or rather,
justification for introducing the name of Hope-Jones so frequently.
The author of this present volume feels the same embarrassment. He,
however, does not see how it would be possible for him, or for any
future writer, who values truth, to avoid reiteration of this man's
name and work when writing about the modern organ.
