A catalogue of all the above is written in 38 volumes in folio and 8
in quarto.
As this noble collection of curiosities, and these excellent libraries
are now chiefly designed for the use of learned and studious men, both
natives and foreigners, in their researches into the several parts of
knowledge, the Trustees have thought fit to ordain the following
statutes, with respect to the use of the Museum.
I. That the Museum be kept open every day in the week except Saturday
and Sunday in each week; and likewise except Christmas day and one
week after; one week after Easter day and Whitsunday respectively,
Good Friday, and all days which shall hereafter be appointed for
Thanksgivings and Fasts by publick Authority.
II. That at all other times the Museum be set open in the manner
following: 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, Wednesday, 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 Museum, 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 hour
at which they desire to be admitted: and that the said names be
inserted in the tickets, and, together with their respective
additions, entered in a register to be kept by the porter. And the
porter is to lay such register every night before the principal
Librarian; or, in his absence, before the under Librarian, who shall
officiate as Secretary for the time being; or, in his absence, before
one of the under Librarians; to the end that the principal or under
Librarian may be informed, whether the persons so applying be proper
to be admitted according to the regulations made, or to be made, by
the Trustees for that purpose. And if he shall judge them proper, he
shall direct the porter to deliver tickets to them, according to their
request, on their applying a second time for the said tickets.
