Proprietors of Shares and Life Share holders, by paying an annual assessment of fi^e dollars, shall have a right to take .out books from the Athenaeum. Also, such subscribers to the Scienti- fic Library as have already complied with the conditions of the transfer of that Library to the Athenaeum, and paid the first assess- ment, shall by paying an annual assessment of ten dollars, have the right to take out Books in the s,ame manner as the Proprie- tors ; provided, however, that this right shall cease upon failure to pay this annual assessment, and that no person shall have a right to take out any Book till all assessments and other dues are paid. II. Any person entitled to take out Books under the last arti- cle, may have, at any one time, three Volumes. III. Books may be kept out of the Library one calendar month, and no longer, and every person shall be subjected to a fine of twenty cents a week for every volume retained beyond that time. IV. Every book shall be returned in good order, regard being had to the necessary wear of the book, with good usage. And if any book shall be lost or injured, the person to whom it stands charged shall replace it by a new volume or set, if it belonged to a set, or pay the current price of the volume or set to the Librarian; and thereupon, the remainder of the set, if the volume belonged to a set, shall be delivered to the person so paying for the same. V. All Books shall be returned to the Library for examination on the second Wednesday of May annually, and remain one fort- night. And every person then having one or more books, and neg- lecting to return the same, as herein required, shall forfeit and pay a fine of one dollar. VI. When a written request shall be left with the Librarian for a particular book then out, it shall be the duty of the Librarian to retain the same, for the person requesting it, for one day after it shall have been first returned. VII. The Librarian will attend, for the delivery and return of books, from noon till 2 o'clock every day, Sundays excepted. VIII. The Trustees may, on special occasions, permit any person to use the Books belonging to the Athenaeum, under such restrictions as they may think proper to impose. IX. Very rare or costly Books, which cannot easily be replac- ed, are not to be taken from the Athenaeum, except by a vote of the Trustees ; and the new periodical Publications and new Wrorks imported from Europe, shall be withheld from circulation, so long as the Trustees may deem expedient. N. B. Persons sending for Books are requested to make a writ- ten order for them, and mark in it the number of the shelf and the first words of the titles as they stand in the printed catalogue.
