A.D. 1807
A list of the books printed during the year at the University Press is added to the annual account. This was not repeated.
A copy of the Speculum Christiani, printed by Will. de Machlinia, was given by Rev. A. H. Matthews, of Jesus College.
Amongst the names of Assistants, written by them, more Anglico, on the wood-work of their studies, occurs the name of ‘Rob. Fr. Walker, New Coll., Dec. 1807.’ Mr. Walker (B.A. 1811, M.A. 1813) was subsequently Curate of Purleigh, Essex, where he died in 1854. He was known as the translator of a Life of Bengel, and other works, from the German. A memoir of him was published by Rev. T. Pyne, from which the account given by Dr. Bloxam in his Register of Magd. Coll. ii. 115-117, was taken. In 1810, John Woodcock (B.A. 1817, M.A. 1818, Chaplain of New College) appears, from the same evidence as Mr. Walker, to have been an Assistant, one Will. John Lennox in 1808, and John Jones, (Ch. Ch.? B.A. 1808, M.A. 1815), in 1809.
