Notes
"The first book printed at the Brotherhood press."--Evans. Seidensticker disputes this claim, suggesting that the press was in operation before 1745.
There were two issues of this collection, with varied title pages. One was intended for use at Ephrata; the other (described here) for the Mennonites.
Commas substituted for virgules after "Haupt-Theilen" and "Vorreden" in title transcription.
Errors in paging: p. 331, 436 misnumbered 333, 634; page numbers 330-344 repeated. Cf. the erratum note on verso of last leaf.

Hildeburn, C.R. Pennsylvania,
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.
