he will be desirous of perusing the fol-
lowing day; which book or manuscript on
such request, will be lodged in some con-
venient place in the said room, and will
from thence be delivered to him by the
officer of the said room: excepting how-
ever some books or manuscripts of great
value, or very liable to be damaged, and
on that account judged by the Trustees
not fit to be removed out of the library
to which they belong; without particu-
lar leave obtained, of the Trustees, in a
general meeting, or a standing Com-

whereof will be kept by the officer of
the reading room.

is to apply to the Trustees in a general
meeting, or the standing Committee,
for particular leave for that purpose: it
not being thought proper, unless in par-
ticular cases, to have them removed
from their places, and out of the sight
of the officer who has the care of them.
IX. That whensoever, and as often
as any person shall have occasion to con-
