22 See Preface to Dr. Robert Smith's " Harmonics, " page ix.
21 seur, especially in the matter of organs, was so great, that his judgment and advice were sought in 1749 by the authorities of the Foundling Hospital, then in its tenth year of existence ; and it was under his superintendence that Parker, a leading organ-builder of that time, erected in their newly-completed chapel the organ which Handel "opened" in 1750. We are told (somewhat in the u fugues and diapasons " style) that the 41 lear...ned Master of Trinity added demitones, &c. , and some of the niceties not occurring in other organs. " It is hardly probable that Handel's protege and amanuensis, John Chris- topher Smith, who was appointed organist at the Foundling, was related to our Dr. Robert Smith, for he was of German extraction, but it may fairly be assumed that Handel's well- known and generous interest in the Foundling must have brought him, in this matter of the organ, into close personal contact with our Master, and it would be most interesting to know if his anthems, which the Senior Bursar's Accounts for the year 1748 show to have already found their way into our Chapel, were followed at any time by the great man himself on a visit to the Lodge, and whether he ever accompanied them on our own organ.
