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.
