Distinct from Rawlinson's other printed books is a curious series of Almanacs, in 175 volumes, extending from 1607 to 1747, which were sent to the Library in 1752. Some volumes in continuation, from 1747 to 1768, were given by Sir Rob. H. Inglis, Bart., in 1846[250]. Another series, between 1571 and 1663, is in the Ashmole collection. By his second codicil, of July 25, 1754, Rawlinson bequeathed a fee-farm rent of £4 _per annum_ to the Under-librarian, in consideration of his taking charge of the MSS., but clogged with the strange conditions that he should not be a doctor in any faculty, married, or in Holy Orders[251]. The receipt of this sum is entered in the Accounts for 1756, but in no subsequent year. The following is an alphabetical list of the principal libraries from which Rawlinson's MSS. were collected, with the dates (so far as ascertained) at which these libraries were dispersed:-- Acton (Oliver), of Bridewell Hosp. Bacon (Thos. Sclater), 1737. Bridgeman (Will. & Rich.), 1742. Chandos (Duke of), 1747. Clarendon (Henry, Earl of). Through _Chandos_. Clavell (Walter), 1742. Compton (Bishop). See p. 175. Foucault (Nic. Jos.), 'Comes Consistorianus[252],' 1721. Gale (Samuel), 1755. Graves (Rich.), of Mickleton. Through _Hearne_. Halifax (Montagu, Earl of), 1715. Hearne (Thomas), 1747.

Through _Clarendon_ and _Chandos_. Whiston (William). On July 15, a bequest of printed books and MSS. was received from Rev. Richard Furney, M.A., Archdeacon of Surrey (who had been schoolmaster at Gloucester, 1719-1724, and who died in 1753,) by the hands of the Rev. John Noel, of Oriel College. The printed books (nineteen in all) consisted almost entirely of early editions of classics. The MSS. (six folio volumes) are thus described in a list made by the Librarian, Humphrey Owen, at the time of their receipt:-- '1, 2, 3 and 4 contain collections relating to the history and antiquities of the city, church and county of Gloucester. 5, 6, a fair copy, seemingly prepared for the press, of the history and antiquities of the said city, church and county, by the Arch-deacon himself, or some friend of his from whom these papers came into his hands.'
