At the surrender of Oxford, after its siege, in 1646, General Fairfax set a good guard of soldiers to preserve the Bodleian.
' 'Tis said there was more hurt donne by the Cavaliers (during their garrison) by way of embezzilling and cutting off chains of bookes than there was since." About 8,000 volumes were added to the Library by Mr.
Seidell's gift. A condition imposed by the executors CHAINED BOOKS IN DORSET AND ELSEWHERE. 15 stipulated that within 12 months the books should be placed, and cha...ined, and a catalogue made. Accordingly, in the accounts for 1660 there is an entry of the cost of providing chains for these books, — £25 10s.
In 1751, additional chains were provided for the Library.
The removal of the chains commenced in 1757. And, in 1761, there was a payment made for unchaining 1448 books at one half penny each.
In 1769, some long chains were sold at 2d. each, and short ones at l|d. each. And then, en masse, 19 cwt. of old iron was sold at 14s. per cwt.
Several of the chains are still preserved as relics.
