MEMOIR OF 
matical instruments, drawings, and pictures ; and 
all other things in my museum, which are more 
particularly described and numbered, with 6hort 
histories or accounts of them, with proper refer- 
ences in certain catalogues by me made, containing 
38 vols. in folio, and 8 vols. in quarto, except such 
framed pictures as are not marked with the word 
“ collection.” To have and to hold, to them and their 
successors, or assigns, for ever ; to the intent only 
that the same, and every part and parcel of my 
museum, may he vested in the Right Honourable, 
and Honourable, and other persons, upon the trusts, 
and for the uses and purposes, and subject to the 
several limitations and directions hereafter particu-

will conduce more to this purpose, than placing the 
same under the direction and care of learned, expe-

and mean views, I do earnestly desire, that the King, 
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, His Royal 
Highness William Duke of Cumberland, the Arch- 
bishop of Canterbury, &c. will condescend so far as 
to aot, and be visiters of my museum : and I do 
hereby, with their leave, nominate and appoint them 
visiters, with full power and authority for any five, 
or more of them, to enter my said collection, or 
museum, at any time, to peruse, supervise, and 
examine the same, and the management thereof, and 
to visit, correct, and reform, from time to time, as 
there may be occasion, either jointly with the trustees 
or separately, upon application to them for that 
purpose, or otherwise, all abuses, defects, neglects 
or mismanagements, that may happen to arise therein 
or touching or concerning the person or persons, 
officer or officers, that are or shall be appointed to 
attend the same ; and ray will is, and 1 do hereby 
request and desire, that the said trustees, or any 
seven or more of them, do make their humble appli-
