Note 260 — ANNALS OF THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY. (continued 4)

By the Statute passed in 1813, and by that on Fees passed in 1855, an annual payment of eight shillings was ordered to be made to the Library out of the total sum (now £1 6s.) paid by each graduate whose name is on the University Books. But these individual fees, varying with the numbers on the Books, were consolidated, in 1861 in one fixed annual sum, from the University Chest, of £2800.
