No member of a learned society it is presumed will be inclined to deny, that the support and improvement of its public repositories of learning, is one of the first and most natural objects of its attention. The University of Oxford owes the most important obligations to the munificence of Sir Thomas Bodley, of Archbishop Laud, of Mr. Selden's executors, and of other eminent persons, who established, or by subsequent benefactions have enriched the inestimable collection of the Bodleian Library.
