In 1898 the books were thoroughly repaired. [467] The front of this bookcase is figured on the title-page of _Bibliographical notices of the Church Libraries at Turton and Gorton_. Chetham Soc., 1855, p. 3. [468] The architectural history of these buildings has been admirably worked out, in _Old Halls in Lancashire and Cheshire_, by Henry Taylor, Architect, 4to. Manchester, 1884, pp. 31-46. [469] These alterations probably began when the following Order was made: "Tuesday, 24 July, 1787. That a Committee be appointed to inspect the Library along with the Librarian, consisting of the Treasurer [etc.]; And that such Committee shall have power to repair and make such Alterations in the Library as they may think proper." No Order for taking off the chains has been discovered. [470] _Sketches of English Literature_, by Clara Lucas Balfour, 12mo. Lond. 1852. Introduction.
