ST. ANDRÉ.—The organ stands on the south side of the Choir; it is in a flat case of carved oak, in the modern Norman style, but where they got their precedent, I do not know. However, it looked well, and the tone was good. 1868.
ST. RÉMI.—The organ is fitted into one of the north arches of the nave, part of which is used as the Choir, as in the cathedral. It has a plain flat front, and is played from the Choir Stalls. The stop handles are arranged in the same manner as those in the smaller organ in the cathedral. 1868.
ROUEN.
THE CATHEDRAL.—At the west end, under a grand rose window, stands one of the best organs in Normandy. Its gallery is supported by two internal buttresses of white stone, or marble, on each side of the grand entrance. It consists of five towers of five pipes each, the largest, which are the outside towers, being supported by giants, and surmounted by a statue. The two next towers have vases on their summits; and the centre tower, which is the least, is crowned with a clock. Between these towers stand four equal flats, with nine pipes each, which are perhaps the only failure in this grand case. The Choir in front has three towers, with five pipes each, surmounted with vases, the least in the centre, and two flats of nine pipes each. The culs-de-lampe have much open work about them. The organ gallery is concave in plan. The tone of the Great Organ is good, the shrill stops not being prominent, and the reeds not too loud. When I heard it, the player could not be called first-class. The Accompaniment Organ stands on the north side of the Choir; it has two gabled flats, with a narrow gable tower between, of modern Gothic work. Its tone is fair, but nothing particular. 1866, 1875.

ROUEN CATHEDRAL
21ST. MAY, 1875.
CANTELEU.—The parish church is without an organ, but in the centre of the Choir stands a harmonium or American organ. It is a pity that a good church like this, in a wealthy suburb, is without a proper instrument. 1875.
ST. GEORGES DE BOSCHERVILLE.—A small village some little distance from the city, with a famous Norman church, which has a small old three-towered organ, with no Choir in front, standing in its west gallery. 1875.
