PLAN FOR VILLAGE LIBRARIES, &C. 293 
The library to be considered as the property of the subscribers, 
and of their resident heirs or successors, as long as they shall con¬ 
tinue to pay their quarterly contributions within twelve months 
after they fall due; but any parishioner may, at any time, be at 
liberty to become a reader of the library on paying 3s. for a single 
quarter. 
N. B. To establish such a library, it seems only to be requisite 
that a fair copy of this plan should be affixed to the church door, 
that the clergyman, or parish clerk, should solicit the names of the 
chief parishioners; and as soon as a dezen have paid their first sub¬ 
scription, the society might be considered as formed. Should any 
nobleman, or gentleman, lend his countenance to the plan, and con¬ 
tribute a donation of 101. or 20l. its establishment could scarcely fail 
to be permanent.
