Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ...Halloa, there, Sam, Bill, Cassar, Jack, George Washington, come here; I wish to speak with you." The man thus addressed was black as a coal, without any trace of white blood in color or feature. He gazed vacantly at the group of officers. He seemed to know that he was addressed, but understood not a word. "Come here! Are you deaf?" again cried the colonel. The poor fellow did not move. "Bob!" shouted Oakland to a young negro servant who had joined the regiment near Milledgeville, and who was seated upon a camp-chest busily employed in stripping a chicken. As he came shambling up to the party, there was on his face a grin of ecstatic delight for which there was no especial occasion. "I wish you to talk to that black man. Stop your grinning." "Yaas, cap'n," and Bob broke in a fearful " Ki-yi," which was intended for a laugh. At the same time he slapped, his legs with his soldier's cap, which was ornamented with the chicken's wing-feathers. "Ask him," said Oakland, "to whom this plantation belongs, what is his own name, and where this road leads to." "Yaas, cap'n," ejaculated Bob, and he appealed to the black man in a pompous manner, which he intended should inspire him with some idea of the importance of the occasion. "Look a heyar, sah. Wha yer no speak ter de cap'n? He's one ob Massa Sherman's company, dat he is. Who's yer massa? Wha yer stan dere starin' like a turkey-gobbler? Wha don yer talk right out?" The plantation slave gazed into Bob's face as if he sought for some words familiar to his ear. He muttered some strange gibberish, and then sank back into an expression of utter stupidity. "Cap'n," said Bob, desperately, "he wus...

Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ... of doing. More power is provided than was actually required, in order to give ample provision in case of accident. THE CARILLONS. The carillons of the Cincinnati organ are a series, 33 in number, of steel bars, firmly placed upon a frame. They are played upon by hammers, which fall upon the bars, producing a singularly sweet and musical sound. The carilloons, in Holland, are a number of bells, which sometimes have three octaves, with the semi-tones. CHAPTER VII. DESCRIPTION OF THE MUSICAL MECHANISM OF THE CINCINNATI ORGAN, BY E. J. KILBURN. The following admirable description of the musical part of the Cincinnati organ is written by E. J. Kilburn, of the house of Hook & Hastings: Approaching the organ from the hall, where we have examined and admired the exterior, the first object that claims our attention is the key-desk. The first look at the bewildering array of key-boards, register-knobs, thumbknobs, pedals, tablets, which are here located for the convenience of the organist, and to enable him to handle this huge musical instrument, causes the involuntary question--What are all these things for? How can any one tell where to put their hands to produce (he effects desired? Our guide explains, first, the key-boards--that the lower one is the choir organ; the second, the great organ; the third, the swell organ; and the fourth, or upper, the solo organ. Each of these key-boards is composed of 61 notes (from C to GQ, five octaves long, and each controls the valves that admit the compressed air to the pipes belonging to that organ, or division of the whole organ. Just above the great organ key-board, are placed five white thumb-knobs, and a smaller black one near each, while between each pair is a tablet, showing its use. These thumb-knobs...
