E Cloth, 8vo, 22 cm, xlii, [1], 393, [1] pp, 8 pp publisher's catalogue. Mis-titled on the spine ".1666 to 1701". From the preface - "This volume is a continuation of Oxford Council Acts, 1626-65, by Dr. H. E. Salter, M.A., and myself published in 1933, and carries the editing of the Council Acts down to the end of the Mayoral Year 1700-1. The records are full of historical interest, reflecting as they do the political and religious strife which raged during the uneasy years of the later Stuarts. The freedom of local self-government was not only challenged but destroyed, as testifies the blank which occurs in the Council Records from May to September 1688. It was during these months, when the City charter had been withdrawn by James II, that the City, for the first time since its incorporation, was governed not by its own-freely elected Mayor and Council, but by nominees of the King. .The quarrels between the City and University continue, quarrels concerning noctivagation, the clerkship of the market, privilege, taxation, &c., and sometimes the City and sometimes the University is triumphant. The mention of certain trades such as coachmaker, harness-maker, Orangeman, and coffeeman, which although some of them must have existed yet do not occur in the previous volumes, testifies to the in- crease in the amenities of life, and while the clockmaker, ivory turner, cabinet-maker, stone-cutter, and carver, contribute to the adornment of houses, the heelmaker, linen-draper, flaxdresser, silk dyer, and perriwig-maker, contribute to that of persons.
