A.D. 1785.

George III and Queen Charlotte visited the Library, from Nuneham, on

Oct. 13. Price, the Librarian, was in attendance, and kissed hands.

Several Assistants, whose names are not perpetuated in the Library

records, are found perpetuated by the inscriptions written by successive

generations on the old oak staircases which run from their studies to

the galleries above. In June of this year, Thomas Whiting, of Jesus

College (B.A. also in this year), does in this way transmit the memory

of his service to posterity. E. Thomas (_qu._ Evan Thomas, of All Souls'

College, B.A., 1793?) does the same in 1790.
