LINDLEY LIBRARY. 



A portion of the surplus funds accruing from the great Inter- 

 national Horticultural Exhibition and Botanical Congress, held 

 in London in 1866, was devoted to the purchase of the library of 

 the late Dr. Lindley, the eminent botanist, who was for many 

 years a most zealous officer of the Royal Horticultural Society. 



This Library has subsequently been largely added to by 

 donations and by purchase. Among the donors may be men- 

 tioned H.M. the Queen, the Bentham Trustees, and other public 

 bodies. 



The books, together with the portraits of several eminent 

 horticulturists, have been placed in the hands of Trustees, 

 the Treasurer and Secretary of the Royal Horticultural Society 

 being cx-officio members of the Trust. 



The Library is intended especially for the use of Fellows and 

 officers of the Society ; but it may, under certain conditions, be 

 consulted by others unconnected with the Society. 



At the discretion of the Trustees, and under suitable regula- 

 tions, certain books may be lent for short periods to the Fellows 

 and others. Application for the enjoyment of this privilege 

 should be made to the Secretary of the Society. 



The Library is open throughout the year, during R.H.S. 

 office hours, but it may be closed at any time as circumstances 

 render it necessary to do so.
