Campanalogia : $b or The art of ringing improved : with plain and easie rules to guide the practitioner in the ringing all kinds of changes, to which is added, great variety of new peals.
Stedman, Fabian
Bells; Change ringing
Courteous Reader, in my directions to the course of each peal, I do
there refer by letters to the examples; which I am forced to do, to
prevent those confused breaks, and unhandsome spaces, which
otherwise would have happen’d both in examples and precepts.
Whatever letter I mention in my directions, refers to the like at
the figures. For instance; in my directions to the twelve changes
next before, I there directed the treble-note to be first hunted up,
letter (_a_); which letter refers to the like letter at the first
three changes of the twelve, where the Treble hunted up, as ’tis
here again represented, and the like of the rest.
_a_│2134
„ │2314
„ │2341
In the Eighteen changes, the Treble is a hunting note, but never hunts
up farther than the _3d_ place; and when it lies there, the two first
notes must make a change; and every time it leads, the two hindmost
notes. First it hunts up into the _3d_ place, letter (_a_); the two
first notes, Which are 2.3, make a change, letter (_b_); the Treble
hunts down (_c_). The two hindmost notes make a change (_d_), the Treble
hunts up (_e_). The two first notes, which are 3.4, make a change (_f_)
the Treble hunts down (_g_); the two last notes, which are 3.2, make a
change (_h_), which method being continued, will bring the bells round
at the end of eighteen changes. The Eighteen changes may also be rung by
hunting the _4th_ note down into the _2d_ place, and then a change to be
made behind: the _4th_ note to be hunted up again into its own place,
and then a change to be made before, which course being continued, will
produce Eighteen changes.
