The appreciation and successful issue of the first edition of this work is duly acknowledged by the Author, as well as the many expressions of approval from persons at home and in foreign parts. It is a source of satisfaction and gratification to know that the attempt has produced a large amount of interest, and has also been the means of producing some ringers in several of our Colonies, as well as working up a desire for and supply of other productions, such as the second edition of “Banister’s Change Ringing,” Wigram’s new, better, and enlarged “Change Ringing Disentangled,” and “Snowdon’s Rope Sight,” which are worthy of a place in every bell student’s and every ringer’s library.

The continued demand for the “First Steps” has prompted this second edition, which is somewhat altered and extended, the desire of the Author being to make all things as plain and as easy as possible.
