Date26 July 1670
DescriptionPresent at the Council: The President, Lord Brouncker; Mr Charles Howard; Sir Robert Moray; Dr Christopher Wren; Dr Balle; Mr Lock; Mr Daniel Colwall; Mr Henry Oldenburg

Mr Lock was sworn as a Member of the Council.

Mr Pitt the printer of Dr Wallis's two volume 'de Motu', presented to the Council both the charges of printing the books, and the length of time for selling of the edition, and insisted upon the price of fifteen shillings six pence for both the volumes. The Council declared that since he did not think fit to reduce any part of that price, or to take fourteen shillings for both the books, he was at liberty to sell them as he could, but that then the subscribers who had agreed to pay such a rate as should be set by the Council, were also left at liberty to buy or not to buy at his rate.

Dr Wren was reminded of his promise to find a good tenant for Chelsey [Chelsea] College.
