* A catalogue of the contents of this Room, and of most of 
the additional acquisitions in the fifth Room, compiled by the Rev. 
S. Ayscough, was printed in the year 1772, in two volumes quarto* 
t A compendious view of the arrangement of this Library is 
printed, and may be had, together with the Analytical Syllabus of 
the Library of Printed Books. A catalogue of these MSS. was 
printed in the year 1759 , in two volumes folio ; but the latter part 
of it was found so defective, that it became necessary to have it 
corrected and enlarged. This improved work is now completed* 
and forms three volumes folio. An Index, which is not yet finish¬ 
ed, will probably form a fourth volume.
