e, second and fifth, the first
change is a dodge between the four hindmost Bells; and the
second time the treble leads, there's a single Bob. In second,
fourth and tenor, the first change is made between the 4
Bells in the midst. In treble, second and fourth, the first
change is a dodge behind; and the second time the treble
leads, there's a double Bob.

Changes on eight Bells.

There are 40320 several changes on 8 bells, which to Ring
it is altogether impossible; the greatest Peal that ever
was Rang on 8 Bells, is 1680, being only a third part of
the changes on seven Bells, which are to be Rang with a
whole Hunt, half Hunt, quarter Hunt, half quarter Hunt
(for so you may term it) and three extream Bells: But
the most complete and musical Peal that ever was Rang on
eight Bells, is Grandsire Bob, treble, second and fifth,
Half-pulls, on 1.2.3.5.6.7. the fourth and the tenor lying
behind every change, thus, 123567,48. which has of late
been practised by the _Colledge-Youths_, and excellently
well performed by them. Grandsire, and Tendring Six-score
on eight Bells makes good Musick, 7.4.8. lying behind every
change: And a Six-score (four extreams) on the six Bells in
the midst, the treble leading all the way, and the tenor
lying behind, making a change at first between the 4 and 5,
and then proceeds forwards in the Six-score, making the
second the whole Hunt, and the seventh the half Hunt, it
makes excellent Musick; but after the Six-score changes are
made, the fourth and fifth must change their places again to
bring the Bells round.

The most musical Peals that are commonly Rang on eight
Bells, are these Six-scores on five, the other three Bells
lying behind every change: For example, the uppermost fig.
are 35678,241. here the 35678, makes the Six-score changes,
3 the whole hunt, and 8 the half Hunt, or any others, and
241. strikes behind every change, in the same order as they
now lie, and so of the rest. The three Bells which are to
lie behind, must first be hunted up one after the other in
order, before any of the Six-score changes are made. The
Seven-score and four on the six middle Bells, the treble
leading, and the tenor lying behind every change, makes
good Musick.

Of Hanging Bells.

First, for the Stock, much need not be said, but of
