The terms on which the Radcliffe Trustees made their offer, and which were accepted by the University, were these:--1. That the Radcliffe Building should be a reading-room to the Bodleian, or be used for any other purpose of the Bodleian Library. 2. That it should remain the property of the Trustees, being esteemed a loan to the University. 3. That no alteration should be made in the building without consent of the Trustees or a Representative approved by them. 4. That the expense of maintaining the building should be borne by the Trustees. The transfer of this magnificent room afforded a rare opportunity for developing the usefulness of the Library to which it is now attached, and all who frequent it will acknowledge that that opportunity has been well and worthily improved under the direction of the present Librarian. On Oct. 25, leave was granted by Convocation for the lending two Laud Manuscripts, 561 and 563, being copies of the _Historia Hierosoylmitana_, by Albert of Aix, to the French Government. At the sale of the library of Dr. Wellesley, Principal of New Inn Hall, a copy of Boccaccio's _Corbaccio_, 1569, was purchased, on account of its possessing the autograph of Sir Thomas Bodley, to whom it had been given by the editor, J. Corbinelli. A rare Salisbury _Primer_, printed at Rouen by Rob. Valentin in 1556, was purchased for £22. Its title affords an amusing specimen of a foreigner's mode of printing English; it runs thus--_This prymer of Salisbury vse is se tout along with houtonyser chyng, with many prayers & goodly pyctures._ It is intended hereby to be conveyed to the English reader that, without any searching, he will find his prayers and psalms set out in their proper order.
