A Few Notes on the Temple Organ explores the history and construction of the organ at the Temple Church in London. Edmund Macrory details the instrument's evolution, from its early builders like Renatus Harris and Father Smith to later modifications and notable organists. The book delves into the specifications of the organ, including stops like the Open Diapason, Dulciana, and Vox Humana, along with discussions of the Choir Organs and Pedal Organ. Macrory also includes historical context, referencing figures such as Roger North and Charles Holloway, and examining the organ's place within the architectural setting of the Temple Church. With detailed descriptions and historical insights, this work provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of organ building and its significance within a prominent London landmark.
