After New York, Massachusetts, and Michigan, the several other states which adopted this plan did so in the following order : Connecticut in 1839 ; Rhode Island and Iowa in 1840 ; Indiana in 1841 ; Maine in 1844 ; Ohio in 1847 ; Wisconsin in 1848 ; Missouri in 1853 ; California and Oregon in 1854 ; Illinois in 1855 ; Kansas and Virginia in 1870 ; New Jersey in 1871 ; Kentucky and...
Σελίδα 95 - ... permission from the librarian. Nor ought the librarian himself to lend books unless he receive a pledge of equal value; and then he ought to enter on his roll the name of the borrower, the title of the book lent, and the pledge taken. The larger and more valuable books he ought not to lend to anyone, known or unknown, without permission of the Prelate.
