17* As the proper management of the Read- 
ing Room is essentially important to the utility 
and credit of the Museum, it is particularly en- 
joined that one of the Under or Assistant Li- 
brarians do always attend in the said Room.* 
And the Trustees being particularly anxious 
that this duty be punctually executed, do strict- 
ly order that the officer, whose turn it shall be 
to attend in the said Room, do, on no account 
whatever, leave it without another officer having 
agreed, and being actually come to supply his 
place. And in order the better to enforce this 
important duty, the Messenger, or his Assist- 
ant, shall keep a book, in which he shall enter 
daily the name of the officer who has the 
whole, or any part of the day, attended the 
said Reading Room ; which book shall be laid 
before every meeting of the Standing Com- 
mittee.
