All these officers have apartments in the college, annexed to their respective offices. They have likewise a public hall, in which is a court for the Earl Marshal, where courts of chivalry are occasionally held, and the officers of arms attend in their tabarts, his Lordship being present. Their public library contains a large and valuable collection of original records of the pedigrees and arms of families, funeral certificates of the nobility and gentry, public ceremonials, and other branches of heraldry and antiquities; and there have been few works published, relating to the history and antiquities of this kingdom, in which the authors have not received some assistance from this library, where attendance is daily given by two officers for the public emolument. _Instructions communicated by Stephen Martin Leake, Esq; Garter King of Arms, to Mr. Maitland._ HERBERT’S _grounds_, Bandyleg Walk.† HERBERT’S _passage_, Beaufort Buildings.† HERCULES PILLARS _alley_, Fleet street.* HERCULES _yard_, Turnmill street.* HERMITAGE _bridge_, Hermitage dock.
