An Index to the subscribers to Hopkins & Rimbault (First Edition: 1855)

The first edition of Edward J. Hopkins's "Comprehensive treatise on the structure and capabilities of the organ, with specifications and suggestive details for instruments of all sizes, intended as a handbook for the organist and the amateur", together with Edward F. Rimbault's "New History of the Organ: [being] memoirs of the most eminent builders of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and other matters of research in connection with the subject", was published in 1855 as The Organ, its History and Construction .

A second edition was published in 1870 and a third in 1877. At the rear of the first edition, after Accounts or stoplists of organs and the Index, but before the adverts, is included the Subscription List. This is headed by Prince Albert, 11 selected notables and 5 institutional subscribers, followed by 541 individual subscribers alphabetically ordered, this number including the short addendum list.
