III. That a particular room be allotted for the persons so admitted,
in which they may sit, and read or write, without interruption, during
the time the Museum is kept open: that a proper officer do constantly
attend in the said room, so long as any such person or persons shall
be there: and for the greater ease and convenience of the said
persons, as well as security of the collection, it is expected, that
notice be given in writing the day before, by each person, to the said
officer, what book or manuscript he will be desirous of perusing the
following day; which book or manuscript on such request, will be
lodged in some convenient place in the said room, and will from thence
be delivered to him by the officer of the said room: excepting however
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 particular
leave obtained, of the Trustees, in a general meeting, or a standing
Committee, for that purpose; a catalogue whereof will be kept by the
officer of the reading room.
IV. That such persons be allowed to take one or more extracts from any
printed book or manuscript; and that either of the officers of the
department to which such printed book or manuscript belongs, be at
liberty to do it for them, upon such terms, as shall be agreed on
between them.
V. That the transcriber do not lay the paper, on which he writes, upon
any part of the book, or manuscript, he is using.
VI. That no whole manuscript, nor the greater part of any, be
transcribed, without leave from the Trustees, in a general meeting, or
standing Committee.
VII. That every person so intrusted with the use of any book, or
manuscript, return the same to the officer attending, before he leaves
the room.
VIII. That if any person engaged in a work of learning, have occasion
to make a drawing of any thing contained in the department of natural
and artificial productions, or to examine it more carefully than can
be done in the common way of viewing the Museum; he 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 particular cases, to have them removed from their places, and out
of the sight of the officer who has the care of them.
