Nottingham Mixt Peal.
1.6.2.

The Changes are plain Trebles and Doubles until the Treble leads, and then a single change is always made. The Peal called Old Doubles and Singles upon five bells is the ground of this Peal, every single in this peal being the single in that. For as in that peal the whole-hunt is one of the two bells that make every single; so likewise in this, the 6 being the half-hunt, is one of the two bells that makes every single change herein, except when it lieth next the whole-hunt, and then the single is behind; but when 2 lieth also next the 6, then extream in the fourth and fifth places.

Nottingham Trebles and Doubles.
1.2.3.

The ordinary course is to move directly, except when the whole-hunt passes either out of or into the second’s place, and then constantly dodg behind. There are single and double bobs; the bob is a double change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the 4th place lieth still. When the third hunt dodges behind, the second hunt then leading, is a warning for the single bob to be made at the next leading of the Treble. And when the second and third hunts dodg together behind, is a warning for the double bob to be made at the two next leadings of the Treble. The two extreams in the 720 must be made according to the general rule in the Introduction, p. 90.

One time the Treble hunts quite up, the next time only up into the fourth place, and so by turns, as in the example here prickt. The bells observe the course of the Treble, and also dodg it being before; and once in 120 changes bob, when that bell which is nominated for the second hunt lying behind twice, meets with the third hunt when the first hunt is going to lead. The second and third hunts are both one.

Nottingham Bob.
1 and 2.

The Treble hath a dodging course, and every time it leads, the double is on the four middle bells, except the bobs which are made in the 2d and 3d, and the 5th and 6th places. The bobs are single and double. When the whole-hunt leads and the half-hunt lieth behind, is a warning for a double bob to be made at the two next leadings of the Treble, there being but three changes betwixt the two bobs. And when the half-hunt lieth in the first and second places for twenty changes together, is a warning for a single bob to be made the second time the Treble leads. The extreams must be made according to the general rule in the Introduction, page 90.

The treble hath a dodging course, and when it moves up out of the 2d place the two first bells dodg until it comes there again; and when it moves down out of the 5th place, the two hind bells dodg until it comes there again, except only whilst it dodgeth in the 3d and 4th places, and then the two hind bells lie still. When the Treble lieth behind the double is on the four first bells; and when it leadeth on the four last. By this method it will go 120, and by making of bobs it will go 240, 360, or 720. At the bobs the bell in the 4th place lieth still. The rule of calling the bobs is the same with that in the Colledge Bobs, page 162.

Redding Bob according to the Cambridg way.

This is the same with the former, excepting only the double changes which are made when the Treble dodgeth in the 3d and 4th places, both in hunting up and down; which are here made on the four hind bells, whereas in that they were made on the four first bells: so that here the two hind bells dodg without intermission until the Treble hindreth them. This will also go 240, 360, and 720, and the bobs made by the same rule as the former.

Fifteen Oxford Peals.

Adventure. 1 and 2.

Doubles and singles. Every bell leads four times. The Treble hath a dodging course; and is one of the two bells which makes every single change except when it leads, and then ’tis made in the 3d and 4th places; but when the 2 lieth next it, an extream behind.

Camelion. 1 and 2.

Every time the Treble hunts up and down, it makes a single in the third and 4th places, and when it leads the single is there also; but when 2 lies next it, then an extream behind. Every bell except the Treble leads four times.

Medley. 1 and 5.

Doubles and Singles. The treble leads four times, lieth behind as many, and twice in every other place. Every other bell leads four times. Every single is made behind, except when the Treble is either in the fourth or fifth places, and then in the second and third places. Every time the Treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the double is on the two first and two last bells, except when the treble goeth to lead if the 5th gives it place, and then the double is made on the four first bells.

Doubles and singles. Every bell leads four times, and lieth behind as many. Every single is made in the third and fourth places until the Treble leads, and then in the second and third places: but when the Treble leads and the fifth lieth behind, then the extream in the third and fourth places.

Halliwell. 1 and 2.

Treble leads four times, lies behind as many, and twice in every other place. When it leaves the two hind bells, they dodg until it comes there again, except when it leads and 2 lies next it, for then an extream is made in the third and fourth places.

The Treble hath a direct hunting course, as in plain changes; and the changes are all single except when the Treble lieth behind, and then a double is made on the four first bells; and when it leads, the single is in the third and fourth places, but when 2 lieth next it an extream behind.

Fortune. 1 and 2.

Doubles. The Treble is a perfect hunt, and when it leaves the two hind bells they dodg until it comes there again. Every bell leads twice, and then hunts directly up, unless the aforesaid dodging hindreth them. Every time the Treble leads, a single is made behind, except when 2 lieth next it, and then an extream in the third and fourth places.

The Treble hath a direct hunting course; and when it leaves the two hind bells they dodg until it comes there again. Every bell leads twice, and then hunts directly up, unless the aforesaid dodging hindreth them. When the Treble leads, the double is on the four hind bells. By this method it will go sixty changes, and by making of singles it will go 120, 240, 360, or 720. The singles in the 120, 240, and 720, must be made by the same method with those in Old Triples and Doubles, page 109. And to ring 360, every time the 1.2 lie together before, the single must be made behind; and when 1.2.3 lie together there, then the single in the fourth and fifth places.

When the Treble leaves the two first bells, they dodg until it comes there again; but in all other respects ’tis the same with the former. And the singles in the 120, 240, 360, and 720, to be made as in that Peal.

Oxford Single Bob.

The method of this Peal is the same in all respects with Oxford Single Bob, Triples Doubles and Singles, excepting the bobs in this peal, which are made in stead of the singles in that. By making of bobs it will go 180 or 360. The bob is a double change at the leading of the Treble, wherein the bell in the fourth place lieth still.

To ring 180, there must be a whole and half-hunt; and when the whole-hunt is before and the half-hunt behind, the next change is to be a bob.

To ring 360, there must be a whole, half, and quarter-hunt, viz.

First, when the whole-hunt comes to lead, and the half-hunt to fall behind, the next change is a bob: and

Secondly, when the whole-hunt leads before the quarter-hunt, and the half-hunt is in the fifth place, the next change is also a bob.

The 1 and 5 may be the whole and half-hunts in the 180, and 1.5.3 the whole, half, and quarter-hunts in the 360, or others at pleasure.

Oxford Double Bob.

The method of this peal is the same in all respects with Oxford double Bob before, excepting the bobs in this peal, which are made instead of the singles in that. The bobs are here made in the same manner, and call’d by the same rule in the 180 and 360, as in Oxford single Bob next before; and the two extreams in the 720, both in this and the last peal, must be made according to the general rule in the Introduction.

The Treble is the whole-hunt, and hath a dodging course. When it leaves the two hind bells, they dodg until it leads, and then a double is made on the four middle bells, which parts the two hind bells; but then the two hind bells dodg again until the Treble displaceth them. Every bell leads twice (except when the Treble dodgeth there) and as they hunt up and down do make a dodg in the third and 4th places. When the Treble moves up from dodging before, the bell that dodged there with it continues in the first and 2d places, lying twice together in each, until the Treble comes down to dodg there with it again. By this method it will go 120, and by making of bobs it will go 360. At the bobs the bell in the fourth place lieth still. The warning for them is this, When the half-hunt leads, and the Treble moves down, and dodgeth there with it, a bob must then be made at that leading of the Treble. The 3 may be the half-hunt, or any other.

Oxford Triple Bob, the second way.

This peal is in all respects the same with that next before, except the double change which is made when the Treble moves up out of the second place, and also down into that place again, which is here made on the four middle bells, and consequently parts the two hind bells, which in the former peal continued dodging together. This will also go 360, the bobs being made, in the same manner, and also the warning for them the same, as in the former peal.

Oxford Riddle, or the Hermophrodite.

Treble is the whole-hunt; whilst ’tis hunting up the two last bells dodg, and whilst

’tis hunting down the two first. Every time it leads and lieth behind, the double is made on the four farthest bells from it. Every bell leads twice and lieth behind twice, except the dodging hinder. By this method it will go sixty changes triples and doubles, and then by making of singles as in Old triples and doubles, it will go 120, 240, or 720.

My Lord. 144.

Doubles. Treble is a perfect Hunt. Every bell leads twice, and then moves up into the third place where it lieth twice, and then moves down again except the motion of the Treble hindreth. When the Treble goeth to lead and leaves leading, the double is on the two first and two last bells; and when it leadeth, ’tis on the four middle bells. But when it leadeth, and the 6 lieth behind, then a single in the third and fourth places.

If a double be made on the four hind bells, at every third leading of the Treble it will go 180 compleat doubles; and then by making of two singles it will go 360, or with four singles 720.
