Dr. Ellas Bouhereau was appointed the Librarian and it is interesting to record how his fine Library managed to come to Ireland. As a Huguenot refugee he was not allowed to take anything out of France, but he was deter- mined nevertheless to take his Library with him. He went to Paris to see the Bntish Ambassador and arranged with him for the pretended purchase of his hooks. In this man- ner they were sent to England.
