Rev. Jeremiah Condy, a Baptist clergyman of Boston, -who 

 was on the eve of visiting England, was appointed an agent for 

 the purchase of books. The following directions were given to 

 him for this purpose :■ — ■ 



Directions to Mr. Condy in purchasing the Books for the Library in Salem. 



1. That you have herewith delivered you two catalogues, that 

 marked No. 1, contains the books you are to purchase, that marked 

 No. 2, contains the books already here in the hands of the members. 



2. That you purchase, of the books to be procured, as many as may 

 be at second hand, provided you can obtain them proportionably 

 cheaper. 



3. That if when in England you meet with any books not specified 

 in either of the catalogues, which in your judgment you may appre- 

 hend will be agreeable to the members and worthy to have a place in 

 the said library, you have liberty to purchase them to the amount of 

 ten guineas. 



4. That where octavo editions are to be had you purchase them 

 rather than folios and quartos. 



5. That if any of the controversy inserted in these catalogues 

 there occur to you any answers of good repute, you are desired to 

 purchase them. 



6. That no books be delivered us unbound, 



7. That the Tragedies be bound up by themselves in convenient 

 volumes, as likewise the Comedies by themselves and also the Farces.
