<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>M
aster 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 be
en 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>improve
d' 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>
