Works on the theory and practice of Eloquence 
follow; and Poetry, in its various kinds, ancient 
and modern, succeeds. The productions of 
miscellaneous Writers, and the best editions of 
their collected Works, terminate this class. In 
the last three Presses of this side of the Room, 
are deposited the few Manuscript Volumes 
which belonged to the Royal Founder of this 
truly valuable Library. In the Presses on the 
left of the door, at the end of this Room, are 
deposited Cases, enclosing a great variety of 
single Plays, being for the most part the produc¬ 
tions of some of the earliest Italian, French, and 
English Dramatic Writers. The Tracts which 
follow, also enclosed in Cases, form a numerous 
series, and are highly interesting, as connecting, 
in some instances, the chain of historical events, 
and in others, elucidating particular facts and 
subjects of every description. 
The Books deposited in the Galleries follow, 
according to subjects, nearly in the same sys¬ 
tematic order as those arranged in the Presses 
below. 
The Tables on the Floor of the Room are 
occupied by a most curious, splendid, and use¬ 
ful collection of Geography. In the 124 Cases 
entitled General Atlas, is contained, topo¬ 
graphically arranged, Maps of every part of the 
Globe, and numerous Plans of Towns, Build¬ 
ings, Gardens, &c. &e.
