Details: 

Brent and Powell worked in a loose partnership with John Brocas from 1697 to 1698. From 1698 to 1703 Brent and Powell worked without Brocas, sometimes trading as 'John Brent & Stephen Powell' (Pollard).

Brent and Powell's edition of William Barton's Psalms, 1698 was one of the earliest Irish publications to include music printing.

[Details differ according to sources: Munter gives the Brent, Powell and Brocas partnership dates as 1697 to 1701 but Pollard gives them as 1697 to 1698.]
