II. That at all other times the Mu-
seum be set open in the manner follow-
ing: that is, from nine o'clock in the
morning till three in the afternoon, from
Monday to Friday, between the months
of September and April inclusive; and
also at the same hours on Tuesday, Wed-
nesday, and Thursday, in May, June,
July, and August; but on Monday and
Friday, only from four o'clock to eight
in the afternoon, during those four
months.
III. That such studious and curious
persons, who are desirous to see the Mu-
seum, be admitted by printed tickets, to
be delivered by the porter upon their
application in writing; which writing
shall contain their names, condition, and
places of abode; as also the day and
