Gall is not listed in the _New Groves_ bblg of the article "Temperaments" by Mark
Lindley. 
He lists his sources in the secquence they were first published. ie Montal is listed
as,  C. Montal: Abrege de l'art........(Paris 1834).   Or I did mot see Gall in the
1800 -1900 section.  

	So who is Gall and what did he have to say?      ric
