Three days ago I read a leading article in a great morning daily, headed "The Renascence of bell-founding in England," and I learnt from it that one English bell-foundry was casting a great peal of bells for the War Memorial at Washington, and that another firm was carrying out an order for a peal from, wonder of wonders, Belgium itself, the very home of bells, and that both these peals were designed on the "Simpson five-tone principle."
In France at the outbreak of war The tocsin The "Voice of the Bell" at Harrow Canon Simpson's theory about bells His "five-tone" principle Myself as a London policeman Experiences with a celebrated church choir The "Grillroom Club" Famous members Arthur Cecil Some neat answers Sir Leslie Ward Beerbohm Tree and the vain old member Amateur supers Juvenile disillusionment The Knight The Baron Age of romance passed.
Under the Canon's tuition I learnt to distinguish the "third," which is at times quite strident, but the "fifth" nearly always eludes me. During Canon Simpson's lifetime he could only get one firm of bell-founders to take his "five-tone" principle seriously.
