List of books donated by Francis Bernard, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, undated

Bracketed annotation made by John Langdon Sibley in Feb. 1842: "The books on this & the three succeeding pages, I find on examination, to have been given by Gov. Bernard." On the fourth page, presumably also in 1842, Sibley wrote: "This is a list of donations by Gov. Bernard, & not by Hollis."

Lists of books donated by John Barnard of Marblehead, undated

This folder contains two lists. One list, much more lengthy, records books Barnard donated to the Harvard College Library on a range of topics. Entries include format, title, author, and publication year and location; many entries have pencilled annotations and one page lists "Books I sent for from London." The value of Barnard's donations in Sterling are occasionally noted. The second document is a list of medical books imported from London for Harvard's library.
