    KEY TO THE ARRANGEMENT, AND RULES, ETC., OF THE LIBRARY. Cases lettered from A. to X will be found in the larger of the two Rooms. The books in all these cases are marked with the case letter, and a number denoting the place of each volume on the shelves. In the smaller room will be found Case Z. Some of the books in this case have no numbers attached to them, being for the most part long sets of volumes. In this room also will be found all the books marked in the Catalogue only by a number; the number here denoting one of a series of shelves, capable of extension as need arises : the volumes on these shelves are not numbered. These books are almost wholly modern, and are placed by themselves to facilitate the taking of them out, when borrowed for use at a distance from the Cathedral. The Library is open on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 12 to 2 o’clock, when the Sub-Librarian is in attendance. Arrangements, however, are made, subject to rules laid down by the Dean and Chapter, for lending books, which any of the Clei’gy of the Diocese, or other persons to whom permission to use the Library has been given, may desire to borrow.
