Excerpt from The Two Organs: An Essay on PsalmodyAny piece of mechanism, by which musical sounds are produced, might be called an organ of music, and it appears from Justin's writings, as cited by Bloomfield, that in early times the word organ was thus extensively used, but, be this as it may, during several past centuries, the term, when applied to music, has meant that musical instrument which is not only the largest, but the noblest of all pieces of mechanism for giving musical sounds which human skill has been able to construct, and which is, therefore, emphatically called the organ.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
