All persons using the Reading Room, except Mr. Sibthorpe and the officers 

 of the Garden, will upon entrance sign their names neatly in a book provided 

 for the purpose. 



No one can be permitted to frequent the room unless his hands and face 

 are washed clean. 



No conversation is allowed, except on lecture evenings after the lecture is 

 concluded. 



When a book is wanted, its name is to be written on a slip of paper and 

 handed to the reading-room clerk, who will furnish the book if not previ- 

 ously engaged. 



The Society furnishes all articles of stationery in moderate quantity, 

 except pens and cedar-pencils. 



Of Supervision. 



It is expected that the gardener and superintendents will look to the due 

 observance of these Rules, and to the general management of the Reading 

 Room, each taking one week at a time, Mr. Munro commencing, to be fol- 

 lowed by the superintendents according to their seniority. It is not, how- 

 ever, meant that they should stay in the room ; it is only wished that they 

 should consider the room under their charge, each for his week, and give it 

 occasional supervision. 



The Council are strongly impressed with the value of the 

 exertions made by the Vice-Secretary to promote this highly im- 

 portant object, as evinced by the very interesting lectures deli- 

 vered by him at the Garden, and by his valuable donations to 

 the Garden Library, and they have much satisfaction in stating 

 that this undertaking has been promoted by presents from 

 several other parties.
