This instrument of percussion, as has been before intimated, has played a most important part in the history of architecture, especially ecclesiastical archi- tecture, and it would be difficult to consider the one without a brief mention of the other. If the bell built the tower, the tower cast the bell. The higher the tower the further would the bell be heard, an...d as the towers grew in height they grew proportionate!)' mas- sive, and the idea was not long in presenting itself of a bell to suit the tower, as well as a tower to suit the bell, for the ever increasing strength of the one warranted a proportionate increase in the weight of the other.
