organists, pianists, conductors and composers
OF the country, with the most distinguished
vocalists and instrumentalists tho general
tenor of whose evidence is that the superiority
Of the MASON Il HAML1N ORGANS to all Others
in The loorld is obUiouS and material that they

equally remarkable for their variety Of effect,
their power and delicacy, their promptness and
equality Of scale, and, especially their thor
oughness of construction and durability.

for them having doubled yearly, on an average
since their introduction there, a few years
since.
