About This Item
12mo. 185 x 115 mm., [7 ¼ x 4 ½ inches]. 114 pp., interleaved copy with numerous blank sheets bound between signatures. Contemporary leather backed board; spine worn and front joint cracked. Ownership stamp of T. Holcomb on front pastedown.
Organized in 1811, the New Castle Library Company was the second library established in Delaware. The by-laws were first enacted in 1812 with a revision in 1819. This copy, printed in 1840, appears to register changes in the by-laws, having pencil marks through certain articles, one with the word 'repealed' written in the margins.
The catalogue is organized in twenty-one classes, each separated by blanks and numbered beginning with the no. 1. Class 1 is Biography and descriptions are presented in short-title format. Other classes include drama, history, miscellaneous, novels, magazines, pamphlets, state papers, Quarterly Review, Edinburgh Review, North American Review, general science, poetry, and theology to name a few.
