Aggiungi al carrelloThe label is printed on one side of a crudely-cut 6 x 8 cm piece of laid paper. In fair condition, aged. The item reads (with manuscript additions in square brackets): 'LEEDS | Circulating Library. | Entered [16 Sept] 180[8] | Allowed for reading the first Year, Weeks [2] Days [-] | - After the first year, Weeks [2] | Forfeiture… per Day for keeping it beyond the Time, d. [2]'. At the head in manuscript is the number '1006', crossed out, and '671'. 'John Smalpage | Leeds' is written over the text, with the word 'Not' in the same hand before the printed 'LEEDS' (indicating that the book has been withdrawn). Unusually for the period, the Library's librarian was a woman. The Gentleman's Magazine, April 1813, notes the death of 'Mrs. Robinson, of Leeds, bookseller and librarian to the Leeds circulating library.'.
