Much of this is contained in Treatises wholly or chiefly devoted to the instrument but a very considerable portion is imbedded in musical and general brochures, periodicals, &c, of every description conceivable. There exists, however, scattered here and there throughout Europe and some other parts of the world, a very large amount of literary and pictorial Organ-structural matter. The Treatise of which the present work forms a department is, undoubtedly, even more nearly exhaustive, so far as it has gone but this, as is equally obvious, is but a very short distance. The departments just mentioned as having been issued in the English Mechanic constitute, perhaps, the most thorough treatment that those branches of the subject have ever received but these, as will be seen on a reference to that journal, cover but a quite small portion of the instrument. The structure of the Organ is a subject so large in its extent, and, at the same time, so comparatively limited as to the interest which it excites, that no really complete work thereon has ever been written, - in any language and, very possibly, never will be so. Several of such departments (though not including any bibliographical one) have already appeared in the pages of the English Mechanic, but written on a too complicated (a Gradal-Alphabetical) plan, - now discarded. 1: Writings and Other Utterances on Its Structure, History, Procural, Capabilities, Etc With Criticisms, and Depositories Preceded by an Analytical Consideration of General Bibliographical and by Construction The present work furnishes the second published department (Compass being the first) of the author's intended entire Treatise on the structure, &c., of the Organ.
