Oldenburg dying in Aug. 1677, Hooke was appointed to fupply his place, and began to take minutes at the meeting in October; but did not publtfti the " Tranfaclions. " Soon after this, he grew more* referved than formerly; and though he read his Cutlerian ledlures, and often made experi- ments, and (hewed new inventions before the Royal Society, yet he feldom left any account of them to be entered in their regifters; defigning, as he faid, to fit them tor himfelf, and make them public, which how...ever he never pirlor ;ed. In 1686, when fir Ifaac Newton's Principia were publifhed, he laid claim to his difcovery concerning the force and action of gravity, which was warmly refented by that great philofopher.
