[392] The date of his appointment is not known, but that it was before,
or at least not later than, 1619 is shown by an inscription in a copy of
T. Holland's _Oratio Sarisb. babita_, which records that it came to the
Library in that year: 'Ex dono Johannis Vernulii, hypobibliothecarii.'
[393] His name first appears in 1746 as making out the accounts and
receiving money.

been lost.
