ON THE
SUPPLY OF PRINTED BOOKS FROM
THE LIBRARY TO THE
READING ROOM OF THE BRITISH
MUSEUM
"The requisition to insert the Titles and Press-marks on the
tickets is not merely reasonable but it is indispensible, if
the Library is to be conducted with satisfaction to the Public
and to the Librarians. If people will not take the trouble to
comply with Rules, which, so far from being vexatious, are
absolutely necessary for their own comfort, they have no right
to complain. The fault is _theirs_, if mistakes and delay arise;
and it is as absurd as unjust to impute the effect of their own
ignorance or carelessness to the Officers of the Museum."
SIR NICHOLAS HARRIS NICOLAS.
