Scope and Contents:
An accompanying note reads: “This volume was probably in use when the Revolutionary War drove the College to Concord.” Adams is believed to have begun this catalog in 1771, as it contains volumes not listed in William Mayhew's catalog, compiled only a year earlier. Entries include title; format; place and date of publication; alcove, bookcase, and shelf location; and donor.
