7. At this period in England, publishers required a licence to publish from the Crown. The Royal Society held such a licence, which Oldenburg used. This was the Royal Society's sole involvement in the project. Philosophical Transactions only became the official journal of the Society in 1752 when it took over full responsibility for the publication, including its finances.
