PRINT ROOM. 
The third nead, which comprises a class considerably more modern 
than either of those which precede it, consists of medals struck in our 
own country, and of those which have been struck abroad. These are 
arranged in the same manner as the modem coins.

PRINT ROOM. 
This Room, at the north end of the west wing upon the ascent of the 
staircase to the Egyptian Room, contains an extensive and valuable col¬ 
lection of Prints and Drawings, an important part of which were 
bequeathed by the Rev. C. M. Cracherode, and Richard Payne 
Knight, Esq. 
Several of the Egyptian Papyri written in the hieroglyphical, 
hieratical, enchorial, or demotic character, which have been framed 
and glazed, are arranged on the walls of the passage leading to this 
Room. 
The contents of the Medal and Print Rooms can be seen only by 
very few persons at a time, and by particular permission.
