Winans, R.B. Book cats.,
The earliest library in Lancaster, known as the "Juliana Library," was established in 1759, under the name of "The Lancaster Library Company." It was the third subscription library established in Pennsylvania. In 1763 it was chartered, and, out of compliment to Lady Juliana Penn, daughter of the Earl of Pomfret, and wife of Thomas Penn, one of the proprietors of the Province of Pennsylvania, it was called the Juliana Library. The library at one time had about 800 books on its shelves and was fairly prosperous. Its most flourishing period was from 1760 to 1775.
On back of cover: "#532 Hinkels Sale Mar 31 1920 --$61.00. Purchased by Chas. I. Landis July 14 1920 from Nevin F. McGirr fpr $25."
