		Bodley proceeds to state the four qualifications he felt himself to possess to do this great bit of work: first, the necessary knowledge of ancient and modern tongues and of 'sundry other sorts of scholastical literature'; second, purse ability; third, a great store of honourable friends; and fourth, leisure.
		Though Bodley, in one of his letters, modestly calls himself a mere 'smatterer,' he was, as indeed he had the sense to recognise, excellently well fitted to be a collector of books, being both a good linguist and personally well acquainted with the chief cities of the Continent and with their booksellers.
		Bodley's brother did not grumble, there were no children, Lady Bodley had died in 1611, and everybody who knew the testator must have known that the library would be (as it was) the great object of his bounty.

		Thomas's Bodley's father John was one of the leaders of the Reformation in England; and when Roman Catholicism was briefly restored in 1553 by Queen 'Bloody Mary', John Bodley was forced to flee from persecution to the safety of Protestant Geneva.
		Sir Thomas also used his influence at court to establish the Bodleian as England's first library of legal deposit, by negotiating an agreement with the Stationers' Company in 1610, by which the Library is still able, almost 400 years later, to claim a copy of every book printed in the United Kingdom.
		Knighted for his services to the country, Bodley showed himself to be the ideal benefactor by bequeathing the remainder of his large estate at his death in 1613 for the noble purposes of the library which he had founded.
