Prichard's Mental Repast. Several ladies and gentlemen of
this town, having been pleased to solicit me to open a
Circulating Library, I propose, notwithstanding the present
scarceness of books, and the fluctuating state of affairs,
to hire them out for the stated period of three months; for
which purpose I have selected upwards of one thousand
volumes, consisting of the most approved authors in all
languages, arts and sciences, with a great variety of the
latest entertaining novels, voyages, travels, adventures,
plays, pamphlets, magazines, periodical papers, &c. &c. from
Europe. A catalogue of which, with the articles annexed,
may be had at the Library.

a variety of maps, music books, quarto waggoners, &c.
