Further Notes
O.D.N.B. = "After his apprenticeship, Bentley seems to have stayed on in the business as a journeyman and after the death of Magnes in 1678 went into partnership with his master's widow.. When she died in July 1682, her part of the stock was left to her daughter Susanna whose name appeared with Bentley's in the imprint of publication until 1689."
