3. Every member residing more than ten miles from the said city-hall, may detain a book one week longer than the times above mentioned respectively.

4. When a book is returned, it may again be taken out by the same person, unless another member has, in the mean time, applied to the librarian for the same book.

5. Any member who shall detain a book longer than the times above limited respectively, shall forfeit and pay to the librarian, for every day such book shall be detained beyond the time above limited, if the book be a folio, four cents, if a quarto, three cents, if an octavo, or book of smaller size, or a pamphlet, two cents.

6. If any member loses or damages a book, he shall make good the same to the library; and if the book lost or injured be one of a set, he shall pay to the librarian, for the use of the society, the value of an entire set, and may thereupon receive for himself the residue of the old set.

7. No person shall be permitted to receive a book from the library until he shall have paid all sums and forfeitures due from him to the society, and have made good all damages and losses occasioned by him as aforesaid.

8. The librarian may let out books to persons, not being members of this corporation, on the following terms, viz:

(1.) The person receiving such books shall, at the time, deposit with the librarian a sum of money equal to double the value of the book or books delivered to him; and if such book belong to a set, then double the value of such set.

(2.) Such person may detain a book for the same space of time as if he were a member residing within ten miles of the city-hall of the city of New-York.

(3.) If the book shall be detained more than one month beyond such time, or if it shall be injured, then the deposit so made shall be forfeited, and the book detained, and the residue of the set, if it belong to a set, shall become the property of the person who made the deposit. (4.) Every person, not a member, who shall receive books from the library, shall pay to the librarian, for the use of the society, to be deducted from his deposit, for every folio, seventy-five cents, for every quarto, fifty cents, for every octavo, or book of less size, twenty-five cents, for each week such book shall be detained, and at least, those sums respectively, although the book may be returned within one week. 9. If a member, and a person who is not a member, should apply for the same book, at the same time, the member shall have the preference. 10. A member, besides the books he may be entitled to, as member, may take as many as he may think fit, on the same terms as persons who are not members.

11. When books are returned, they shall be delivered into the hands of the librarian, in order that he may examine whether they have been injured or not.

12. No person, whether a member or not, shall lend any book belonging to the society, to any person out of his or her dwelling house.

13. The books marked thus (*) in the catalogue, and such others, as may, from time to time, be specially designated by the trustees, or the library committee, shall not, on any account whatsoever, be lent or let out, but must be read only in the library, any usage, by-law or regulation to the contrary notwithstanding.

[blocks in formation]

The author's name, and when that could not be ascertained, the leading term in the title of the book invariably form the initial word in this catalogue.

The titles are abridged in the Analytical Catalogue, but the initial word is the same in both; so that a reference from one to the other is easily made.

The paging of the Alphabetical Catalogue was commenced with the intention of adding a sheet of prefaratory matter, but another arrangement was found preferable; hence the numbering begins with 9.
