ALL ABOUT CARILLONS
With a practical experience, of over t» hundred carillons behind him, Frank Pcrcival Price, the Dominion carillonneur at Ottawa, has written a book about carillons, calling it "The Carillon" (Oxford University Press and Humphrey Milford). To those interested in the origin, history, and development of bells and the modern carillon, this book will bo a never ending delight. The story is told with a simplicity that is at once unassuming and aiuthoritative, and among the many beautiful photographic plates is reproduced a sketch of Wellington's own much-discussed carillon. "The carillon," says the author, "presents to the poor man the privilege of enjoying the rich man's concert. . . The carillon will never be greater than the man who plays it, whatever form it takes. . Meanwhile the skilled earillo-nneur finds in the instrument of today resources so vßst that they challenge him to a lifetime of study for this mastery."
