A short Account of the LIBRARY.

THE Library-Company was form'd in 1731, by Constitutions or Ar|ticles entred into by 50 Persons, each obliging himself to pay 40 〈◊〉〈◊〉 for purchasing the first Parcel of Books, and 10 s. per annum to defray Charges and encrease the Library.

Ten Directors or Managers of the Library, and a Treasurer, are chosen yearly by Vote, at a General Meeting of the Com••••••y.

The Number of Members are now encreased to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of 70. Persons enclining to be admitted, apply to any one of the Dire••tors, who nominates them at the next monthly Meeting of D••••••ctors; and being allowed, and paying to the Treasurer the Value of a Share at the Time, and signing the Articles, they become Members.

Any Member may borrow a Book for 2, 3, or 4 Weeks, leaving his Note for double Value, an•• paying a small Penalty if 'tis not return'd at the Time agreed; which Penalties are applied to d••fray••ng Charges, or pur|chasing more Books.

Every Member has an absolute Property in his Share; may devise it in his Will, or d••spose of it when he pl••••ses to any P••••son the D••rectors ap|prove. And Shares so sold have always hitherto y••••ded as much as they had cost. As Shares encreas•• yearly in Value 10 s. so much being yearly added by each Subscriber to the Stock of Books, a Share which at first was worth but 40 s. is now valued at 6 l. 10 s. But for this small Sum, which, laid out in Books, would go but a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Way, every Member has the Use of a Library now worth upwards of ••00 l. whereby Knowledge is in this City render'd more ch••••p and ••••sy to be come at, to the great Pleasure and Advantage of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Par•• of the Inhabitants.

Those who are not Subsc••••bers may no••withsta••ding bo••••o•• Books, leaving in the Hands of the Librarian, as a Pledge, a Sum of Money pro|portion'd to the Value of the Book borrow'd, and paying a small Acknow|ledgment for the Reading, which is apply'd to the Use of the Library.

The Library is open and Attendance given every Saturday Afternoon from 4 a Clock 'til 8.

Besides the Books in this Catalogue given to the Library, the Company have been favour'd with several generous Donation••; as, a curious Air-Pump, with its Apparatus, a large double M••cr••scope, and ••••her valuable In••••••|ments, from the Hon. JOHN PENN, Esq A handsome Lot of Ground whereon to bu••ld a House for the Library, from the Hon. THOMAS PENN, Esq Propriet••ries of the Prov••nce; and the S•••• of 34 l. Ste••l. (to be laid out in Books) from D••▪ Sy••••erse, late of Antigua.

At present the Books are depos••ted in the West W••ng of the State-House, by Favour of the General Assembly.

It is now T••n Years since the Company was first estab••••sh••d; and we have the Pleasure of observing, That tho' 'ts comp••••••d of so many Persons of different Sects, Parties and Ways of 〈◊〉〈◊〉, yet ••o 〈◊〉〈◊〉 re|lating to the Af••••irs of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, have 〈◊〉〈◊〉 us; but every Thing has been conducted with great Ha••••ony, a••d to general Satisfaction. Which happy Circumstance will▪ we hope, al••••ys continue.

Note, A Copy of the Articles o•• Constitutions is l••ft in the L••••rary, for the Perusal of all that desire to be more ••ully 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
