Sir Frederck Augusta Barnard (1743-1830) was the principal librarian to George III throughout much of his reign. He sought assistance and guidance from writers and lexicographer Dr Samuel Johnson. Barnard compiled and published a catalogue of the collection 'Bibliothecae Regiae Catalogus' between 1820 and 1829 in five folio volumes.
