Sottanstall manuscripts re bellringing 1867-1902, with original mss. of "El=

I think there might be a discrepancy here. My understanding is that Sottans=
tall wrote two volumes, one a theory book and one of treble bob composition=
s. The compositions were published, but the theory not - or at least not in=
full. The single copy of the theory books belongs to YACR and resides in Y=
ork Minster library. It is partly hand-written and partly printed, which su=
ggests that some sections at least might have been published as pamphlets. =
The book is in a very poor condition - I've seen it a number of times.
