Also appearing in *The Daily News* (Kingston, ON, 1852): "The subscriber begs to announce that he has taken up his residence in Kingston, and is prepared to receive orders for the building of organs of any dimensions. He begs to state that he has erected one of the largest organs now in use in the province -- that in St. Paul's Church, London, C.W., with 2 finger boards and pedals, and 20 stops -- and that he holds certificates of excellence from the organists of St. George's Church, Toronto, and of St. Paul's, London, C.W. He also begs to state that he tunes pianos. For sale, a small organ with 6 stops, Gothic style, which can be seen at his residence, corner of Brock and Barrie Streets. -- F. Limprecht, May 11, 1852"

From *Gargoyles & Gentlemen: A History of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, Ontario 1834-1964*: "The contract for building an organ with 24 stops was awarded to F. Limprecht by the vestry in April 1850, 'the cost not to exceed £300.' The actual cost of the organ, installed, proved to be £453 15 s." The organ was sold for $1,000 in 1873 when a new organ, costing $5,000 was installed [Ed.: Samuel Warren Co.].
