<P><BR>I've spent a short time this morning looking through some of <BR>the records of the Worshipful Company of Stationers (of <BR>which Stedman was a member) which have been transcribed <BR>quite thoroughly in the three-volumn /Transcripts of the <BR>Registers of the Worshipful Company of Stationers: From <BR>1640-1708 AD/, London (1913-4).<BR><BR>Under the Licensing of Press Act (1662), all books had to be <BR>licensed by an appointed Licenser, who for the duration of <BR>the act was Sir Roger L'Estrange. The act lapsed in 1679. <BR>So far as I can make out, records of these licensings appear <BR>in the records of the Stationers' Company. Certainly the <BR>records of the company seem little more than a list of books <BR>printed by its members, together with the payment of a <BR>nominal 6d fee.<BR><BR>I can only find mention of five works printed by Stedman. <BR>They are as follows:<BR><BR>16o Junii 1665<BR><BR>Master Fab. Stedman . . . Entred . . . under the hands of <BR>Master L'Estrange and Master Warden Pulleyn a paper <BR>Intituled, /To His royall highnesse Duke of Yorke a <BR>Congratulatory Poem on that signall victory obteined by his <BR>Maties Navy under his heroick conduct agt ye States fleet of <BR>the United Netherland on ye 3d of June 1665/ . . . vj.d<BR><BR>16o Junii 1665<BR><BR>Master Fab. Stedman . . . Entred . . . under the hands of <BR>Master L'Estrange and Master Warden Pulleyn, a paper <BR>intituled, /An Essay uppon the late victory obteined by his <BR>royall Highnesse the Duke of Yorke agt the Dutch, uppon<BR>June ye 3d 1665/, by the author of Iter Boreale/ . . . vj.d<BR><BR>February 8 1667 [i.e. 1667/8]<BR><BR>Master Fabyan Stedman . . . Entred . . . under the hands of <BR>Master L'Estrange and Master Warden Royston a booke or copie <BR>intituled /Tintinnalogia or the Art of Ringing/ By a Lover <BR>of that Art . . . vj.d<BR><BR>5th September 1676<BR><BR>Master Fabian Stedman . . . Entred . . . under the hands of <BR>Master Roger L'Estrange and Master Warden Clark a book or <BR>copy intituled /The Art of Ringing improved wth plaine & <BR>easy rules to guide the practiconer in the ringing of all <BR>sorts of changes, to wch is added 98 new crosse peales./<BR><BR>11th Decembr. 1676<BR><BR>Master Fabian Stedman . . . Entred . . . under the hands of <BR>Roger L'Estrange Esqr and Master Warden Clark a book or copy <BR>intituled /Eighteene very practicall peales upon six & eight <BR>hells composed wth mixt grounds, togeather wth a second <BR>Imperiall Bob/, Composed by F. S.<BR><BR>Of the five works, three were described as "a book or copy" <BR>and were on ringing; the other two were merely "a paper" <BR>congratulating the Duke of York (later James II). The <BR>Stationers' records may well be incomplete, but there seems <BR>no reason why they should favour ringing works rather than <BR>others, so I can only assume that a high proportion of his <BR>works were on ringing.<BR><BR>Stedman had been apprenticed to Daniel Pakeham, a master <BR>printer, on 7 July 1656. Apprenticeships had been fixed at <BR>seven years by the Statute of Artificer (1562), and very <BR>nearly seven years later on 4 July 1663, Stedman became a <BR>Freeman of the Stationers' Company. He was not yet a master <BR>printer, and it's unlikely he ever became one. Stedman may <BR>have been the licensed publisher of these works, but he did <BR>not have a press on which to print it. If he had continued <BR>as a printer, he would have been a journeyman in the employ <BR>of some other master printer, but John Eisel speculates that <BR>he had become a bookseller (c.f. RW 2010 p.489-90).<BR><BR>Of the five works mentioned above, I have only heard of <BR>three of them. There is a copy of the essay to the Duke of <BR>York in the British Library, but the congratulatory poem, so <BR>far as I can tell, has not to have survived. Tintinnalogia <BR>is well known. The fourth work, 'The Art of Ringing <BR>improved' is clearly Campanalogia, although the title of <BR>first edition of Campanalogia (1677) concludes "Ringing of <BR>all kinds of Changes, to Which is added, great variety of <BR>new peals." Other than changing "all sorts" to "all kinds", <BR>the title no longer concluded "added 98 new crosse peales": <BR>"crosse" had been removed, and "98" changed to "great <BR>variety of".<BR><BR>This leaves the fifth work, also on ringing. /Eighteene very <BR>practicall peales upon six & eight hells composed wth mixt <BR>grounds, togeather wth a second Imperiall Bob/, Composed by <BR>F.S. Was this another early ringing book that has since <BR>become lost? Or had the contents of it become merged with <BR>that of his other planned book of 1676 to form the 1677 <BR>Campanalogia? This could explain why the "98 new crosse <BR>peales" was changed on the cover. It might also explain <BR>Trollope's observation that Tintinnalogia bore L'Estrange's <BR>imprimatur, where Campanalogia did not (c.f. Trollope MS vol <BR>ii, p.428). Maybe Campanalogia was not ever licensed for <BR>publication in its final form, but produce by combining the <BR>two works that had both been licensed?<BR><BR>Has there ever been a facsimile reprint made of the 1677 <BR>Campanalogia? I have copies of the third (1733) and sixth <BR>(1766) editions, but I do not have access to the first <BR>edition to check this. If there were a "second Imperiall <BR>Bob" composed by Stedman in the first edition Campanalogia, <BR>this would be a strong clue.<BR><BR>RAS<BR></P></DIV>
