[42] Before his election at Cambridge Daniel was already acting for Thomas Buck. The Articles of Agreement between the Bucks and Edmund Weaver (see p. 51) were written by him and the payments made by Weaver to him (Registry MS 33. 1. 13). [43] Registry MSS 33. 1. 15 and 33. 6. 15. The "gathering of mulcts and the arresting Masters of Artes in his walke and transcribing of combinations for his said walke" were excepted from the duties which John took over from his brother. [44] Registry MS 33. 1. 19. [45] MSS Cole, xliii, 260. For other pictures of the house see Cranage and Stokes, _The Augustinian Friary in Cambridge_ (_C.A.S. Proc._ XXII. 53). The house was used as the headquarters of the King's army in 1647 (_Extract from certain papers of intelligence from Cambridge_, 1647). "The report is" says the writer of the letter "that it will be this night [7 June] the King's quarters." [46] Registry MS 33. 6. 15. [47] Registry MS 33. 1. 22. [48] Registry MS 33. 1. 23. [49] _Ibid._ 33. 1. 24. [50] Arber (_Stat. Reg._ v, xxx) notes that "in Charles I's reign there came a new development in the trade: Robert Young, Miles Flesher and John Haviland formed themselves into a Syndicate, and became privately the real owners of Printing businesses carried on ostensibly in other people's names." [51] Afterwards university printer (see p. 62). [52] _Humble Proposals_ (Registry MS 33. 6. 25). The bible of 1638 remained the standard text until 1762 (Darlow and Moule, I, 182). Isaac Barrow also paid a tribute to Buck in his _Mathematic Lectures_: He, with the loss of his health and money, took the greatest care of the University Press, out of regard to the honour of it: and with what types he printed, especially the sacred writings, all posterity will admire (Stokes, _Esquire Bedells_, 97). [53] Parr, _Life of Usher_, pp. 342, 343. [54] Registry MS 33. 6. 16. [55] Bowes, in a note on _Pietas Acad. Cant. in funere ... Carolinae_ (1738), says: "This appears to be the first occasion on which Arabic types were available at the Univ. Press, as up to 1736 all verses in that language were printed in Hebrew characters" (_Catalogue_, p. 121). [56] He was 17th in the _Ordo Senioritatis_ of 1612-13; George Herbert was 2nd in the same year. [57] Reprinted at the Dublin University Press, 1835. [58] His two colleagues in this office were his brother John (elected 1626) and Francis Hughes (elected 1629). By a grace of 5 December, 1664, the three bedells, "being all old and infirm," were allowed a deputy. The number of bedells was reduced to two in 1858. See also p. 49. [59] For details of Buck's activities outside the Press, see Stokes, _Esquire Bedells_, 96-99. He had a special pew in St Edward's and was buried in that church. [60] Registry MS 33. 1. 27. Cf. Bowes, _Biog. Notes_, p. 303, "He [Buck] is said to have resigned in 1653." This agreement makes it clear that Buck sold, but did not resign, his printing rights in 1653.
