Notes

2023-05-13 - From the *Montreal Gazette *(September 21, 1833): It is perhaps not generally known that the organ of the Episcopal Church of this city is one of the best productions of the celebrated Elliot, who is regarded as almost unequalled in the art of organ building. When erected at his manufactory in London, prior to its departure for this city, it is said that the then Prince Regent expressed his regret that such an instrument should be leaving the country. We are indebted to Mr. Greenwood, who has been engaged lately in repairing this magnificent instrument, for the following technical description of its powers and capabilities ..." -Andrew Henderson

2023-05-13 - Organ reportedly gifted by George III; destroyed by fire in 1856. -Andrew Henderson
