Excerpt from Dictionary of Organs and Organists For this we have to thank primarily the innumerable Organists throughout the Kingdom who have supplied information for inclusion in the book, but this foreword would be incomplete without an acknowledgment of our ih debtedness to the Federation of Master Organ Builders for the valued assist ance it has afforded in compiling and verifying as far as possible the particulars of organs included in Part II. The interest evinced by the Federation has enabled us to include particulars of numerous organs which would not other wise have been obtainable, for all of which we take this opportunity of expressing our sincere appreciation to this organization. We desire also to convey our thanks to all who have in any way helped to bring this edition to a successful issue, and not the least those authors whose painstaking labours are evidenced in tangible form in the articles contained in Part which, we venture to think, will form a valuable addition to the Bibliography of the Organ. A considerable amount of time has, of necessity, elapsed during the compilation of such a comprehensive work, and, despite the safeguards adopted to eliminate errors, both of omission and commission, it is certain that, even as the book leaves the press, some few records will be out of date. We feel sure, however, that our readers will not hastily condemn the book on this score, but will rather judge the work as a whole, and if some inaccuracies are found, will, as in the past, lend us their valued co-operation in correcting the information in our hands, as well as by keeping us advised of changes of interest as such occur. Not only will such co-operation be most welcome, but will enable us to make of still more interest to all lovers of the King of Instruments our Dictionary of Organs 6' Organists, the Second Edition of which we herewith submit to the appreciation of our readers.
