There are many ancient Copies of feve- 

 ral Parts of the Bible, and Originals of 

 fome Works that were formerly held in 

 great Eileem among the Ecclefiailics. 



But what is more particularly to be ad- 

 mired, is an original of that great Bul- 

 wark of our Liberties, the Magna Charta ; 

 and if fo, how can we fufficiently lament 

 its having been greatly injured by an ac- 

 cidental Fire that damaged the whole 

 Colledion. As a Catalogue has alfo been 

 publifhed of thefe Manufcripts, I need 

 not any longer detain my Reader in this 

 Room, but proceed to the next, which 

 contains, 



BiBLIOTHECA HaRLEIANA MSS. 



Thefe are a Part of the Harleian Manu- 

 fcripts, which are a Coliedion on which 

 we cannot eafily fet too high a Value. 

 The Room we are now treating of, con- 

 tains many curious Copies of tht B": . ?, 

 and the different Parts of it, in a : . y 

 of Languages.
