Item description from seller

Leaf measuring 5 x 3.2 inches, printed recto: Boston Library Society. Substance of the Rules voted by the Society for regulating the Loan of their Books, &c. Circa 1796. March 16th inked lower left. Typically found as a bookplate in volumes owned by the Society, this example appears not to have been so used. Comparing the examples of similar printings, found by searching "Boston Library Society. Substance of the Rules", we note in our example the lower case title, use of 'set' rather than 'book' in 6th Art., and a five week (vs one month) borrowing time.

Store description

Since 1977 The Odd Book has bought and sold interesting books and ephemera... and some apparently not that interesting. We're a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of Canada, and thereby affiliated with the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. At the store in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and online since '98, Jim Tillotson (founder) and Jim Gow (proprietor) combine their years of experience and occasional stupidity to provide a pretty good place to browse. Thanks for stopping by, and don't hesitate to be in touch.…
