Author: Library Company of Philadelphia

Records of titles bought by the Library Company of Philadelphia through the Agency for American Libraries from March 8, 1880 to July 10, 1889. The Agency for American Libraries was a book dealership based in London that sold British printings to American libraries. Some pasted items in this volume permanantly cover text. The pasted insertion on page 353 covers a page that reads, "DEAR SIR: I AM IN RECEIPT OF YOUR LETTER OF THE 17TH INSTANT, AND IN REPLY BEG TO ENCLOSE HEREWITH MY AUTHORITY FOR SENDING YOUR LIBRARY A COPY OF "PRINTING HANDBOOK OF TRADE-MARKS &C." I TRUST THIS WILL SUFFICIENTLY EXPLAIN THE MATTER TO YOU. I ALSO ENCLOSE AN INVOICE 5.15.0 FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO PERIODICALS &C. SENT YOUR LIBRARY TO THE END OF 1887, AND I TRUST THIS WILL BE FOUND CORRECT. ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE, I AM, DEAR SIR, YOURS FAITHFULLY, B F Stewart."
