Then I asked to be shown the Library. Like the Museum it is shut away in small cupboards in a very long narrow passage. As is known and can be read in Vieu of London, Vol. II, p. 686, it was presented by the Duke of Norfolk, and I have the printed catalogue in quarto. There are some good manuscripts which I found in two cupboards standing together. But we could scarce glance at them—in such haste was the operator in his English fashion, thinking indeed that he had already spent too much time with us in the Museum. We saw also, standing on one of the book cupboards, the iron oven with which Dr HoockHooke had succeeded in hatching out some eggs in the Egyptian manner, v. Vieu of London, Vol. II, p. 683, n. 253. This too was spoiled. On the ground lay the prodigiously large antlers of a fallow deer, which had been found in a bog in Ireland. On either side there were eight wide branches and the antlers were seven feet one inch apart in diameter. We also saw here the model of a fortress which a clergyman called Christner had made extremely accurately and well. It was very large and, when all had been put together, would probably measure two surveyor's rods.
