<P><BR>Much to my irritation I've just tipped a cup of coffee all <BR>over my
desk and rendered illegible the first page of some <BR>notes I'd made on the
history of the bells of Exeter <BR>cathedral. I can't now read where I got the
information <BR>from, and I'm hoping someone can help me work this
out.<BR><BR>It was definitely a book or pamphlet that had been scanned <BR>and
made available on-line (probably through archive.org or <BR>Google Books); I
think it was from the 19th century. I had <BR>used the book to draw up a table
showing each recast and <BR>augmentation of the bells since the 16th or 17th
century, <BR>and it was particularly informative about the fact that they
<BR>had a flat sixth long before the natural sixth suggesting a <BR>ring in
the Mixolydian mode.<BR><BR>I've tried searching the obvious on-line archives
for <BR>likely-looking titles, but have drawn a blank. Can anyone <BR>suggest
what this book might have been?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>RAS<BR></P></DIV><!-- end group email --></BODY></HTML>
