Excerpt from Notes on the Cathedral Libraries of England

The Library of the Dean and Chapter is chieﬂy available for the ufe of the Clergy of the Cathedral Church, and under proper re gulations becomes a convenient place of Rudy for the clerical fiudent or the lettered divine. The Libraries thus preferved have, as might be expected, great fimilarity of character. They often combine in a peculiar manner the learning of the middle ages, with the litera ture of a later date. Chieﬂy embracing theo logical fubje�'ts, they contain no fmall amount of claffical lore, and a large proportion of hif torical refearch. Among much that is obfolete there is more that is valuable, and amid much that is triﬂing there is more that is important.
