This catalogue represents the state of the library at the end of the fifteenth century, for it contains the books given by Richard Nelson, who founded a Fellowship in 1503, and probably gave his books at the same time, "sub ea condicione quod semper remanerent cum tribus sociis." [297] From my additions to the essay on "The Library," by Professor Willis, p. 404. [298] This catalogue, written at the beginning of the old parchment Register of the College, has been printed by Dr James in his _Catalogue of the MSS. in the Library of Peterhouse_, 8vo.

[313] I have to thank Mr T. D. Atkinson, architect, for drawing this plan. [314] I have again to thank Mr Gimberg for this photograph.

It is obvious that these heavy chains must have been attached to the lower edge of one of the boards, and that the bar must have been below the desk and not above it. See above, p. 139. [319] _Arch.
