This ancient areal was formerly called 
Bithop’ s Lynn, a name which it retained till 
thé reign of Henry VIII. when it changed. 
its poffeftion, and was elevated to the more 
founding title of Lynn Regis. The public 
library which was not fet on foot till the 
year 1798, is now eftablifhed on principles the 
moft judicious and politic, and although but 
yet in its infancy, is confidered as.extremely 
valuable. It confits of about 500 volumes, 
and contains mott of the approved works that 
have been publithed for the laft few years. 
The books are chofen by a majority of the 
members, and Reviews, and other periodical 
publications are regularly taken in, The 
number of fubfcribers to this library is about 
70, which however con idering the popula- 
tionef the place, and terms of admiffion, are 
extremely.few. It is highly confolatory “i 
refle&, that fince the efiablifhment of th 
inftitution, literature feems to be more a 
rally refpeéted, and it has already diffufed.a 
happy fpirit of inquiry into mixed converfa- 
tion.
