BOND, SIR EDWARD AUGUSTUS (1815-1898) , English librarian, was born at Hanwell on the 31st of December 1815, the son of a schoolmaster. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' school, and in 1832 obtained a post in thespublic record office. In 1838 he became an assistant in the fnanuscript department of the British Museum, where he attracted the notice of his
chief
 , Sir Frederick Madden, the most eminent palaeographer of his day, and in 1852 he was made Egerton librarian. In 1856 he became assistant keeper of MSS., and in 1867 was promoted 'eo the post of keeper. His
work
  in re-organizing the manuscript department was of lasting value, and to him is due the classified catalogue of MSS., and the improved efficiency and punctuality of publication of the department. In 1878 he was appointed principal librarian. Under his supervision were erected the new buildings of the
" White Wing," which provide accommodation for prints, drawings, manuscripts and
newspapers
 , and the purchase of the Stowe MSS. was concluded while he remained in office. He founded, in conjunction with Sir E. Maunde
Thompson
 , the Palaeographical Society, and first made classical
palaeography
  an exact science. He was made LL.D. of
Cambridge
  in 1879, created C.B. in 1885, and K.C.B. the day before his death on the 2nd of January 1898. He was the editor of four volumes of facsimiles of Anglo-Saxon charters from 679 to the Conquest, The Speeches in the Trial of Warren Hastings (1859-1861), and a number of other interesting historic documents.
