Concordat cum Registro Convocationis Universitatis Oxon facta de])ita Collatione per me. Ben : C'ooper, Notarium publicum et Registrarium UniversitatLs Oxon. The new printers, who were appointed for five 3Tars, soon showed that they were far less in the University interest than Parker and Guy had been. They fell behind in payments, and failed to fulfil their promises in many resjjeets. There are many interesting particulars in Ballard, vol. xlix., about the controversies the Univer- sity had with the Stationers' Company, but they do not fall within our scope. The contract with Parker and Guy was never renewed. The only printed account of any of these events, prior to our researches, was found in the most unexpected quarter, namely, Philosophical Experiments and Ob- servations of the late Eminent Dr. Robert Hooke, and other eminent Virtuosos in his time. Published by W. Derham, F.R.S., 1728. At pp. 217-24 is A copy of the account which Dr. Wallis gave to Dr. Bernard, one of the Delegates for printing, by a messenger sent from Oxford, for that purpose, the Delegates having agreed to be determined by his opinion in the case, at Serjeants' Inn, in Fleet Street, January 23rd, 1691-2.
