For the sake of clearness, the extracts which follow are marked, at the beginning of each-[D. M.] when they are from the ancient Minute-books of the Delegates of the Oxford Press; or [S. P.] if they are from the papers of Charles Third Earl Stanhope: these last are generally in Charles Earl Stanhope's handwriting, or are corrected by him. In each case the date has been prefixed whenever it has been ascertained. The general plan of this article is, first to give a short account of Charles Stanhope, extracted from the records of his contemporaries; and next to describe, each in its turn, such of his inventions as were adopted at the Oxford Press— bringing together in order of date all extracts either from [8. P.] or [D. M.] which bear upon the subject under consideration. |
