Excerpt from The Arts of the Church: Church Bells The church series are intended to provide information in an interesting as well as an accurate form about the various arts which have clustered round the public worship of god in the Church of christ. Though few have the oppor tunity of knowing much about them, there are many who would like to possess the main outlines about those arts whose productions are so familiar to the Chris tian, and so dear. The authors will write for the average intelligent man who has not had the time to study all these matters for himself; and they will therefore avoid technicalities, while endeavouring at the same time to present the facts with a fidelity which will not, it is hoped, be unacceptable to the specialist.
