London. . . May 11. . . We hear his Majesty has been pleased
to grant to Mr. Justinian Morse, of Barnet in the county of
Hertford, a patent for the sole making and vending a new
invented organ, which is brought to such perfection, that
any person unskill'd in musick may be instantly instructed
to play psalm tunes, voluntaries, anthems, or any other
musick, tho' never so difficult; and play a fuller thorough
bass than can be possibly performed by the fingers alone on
common keys, and done entirely without barrels; and may be
made either with the open diapazon, or the principal in the
front; and of any height, size, or price. Designed for the
use of churches or chapels in such parishes as cannot
afford, or are unwilling to be at the expense of the
constant attendance of an organist; or for gentlemen's
houses.
