In addition to the foregoing five volumes were subsequently 

 bought of Capt. John Dwinell ; three of Job Rovvell, one of Mr. 

 Piiineas Bailey and five volumes of Washington's Life, bought of 

 Job Rowell ; two books were added in 1800 and one in 18 17. It 

 appears from these records that the whole number of titles was 

 eighty-two and the number of separate volumes not less than 

 one hundred and twelve. In 1825 Betsey Kidder executed a 

 deed to the I^ibrary, conveying her right and title to Jonathan 

 Young. These names should be added to the list of proprietors 

 previously given. It is probable that all the books were finally 

 sold at public vendue. As each volume, by vote of 1798, was 

 inscribed "Derryfield Social Library," etc., it is probable that 

 some of these books are still in possession of the descendants of 

 original proprietors or purchasers and may thus be identified. 

 The suggestion is made that should any volumes of this curious 

 collection be brought to light that they be deposited with the 

 Manchester Historic Association for safe keeping.

 additional research. We have scarcely more than covered the
