A87794	An overture for founding & maintaining of bibliothecks in every paroch throughout this kingdom: humbly offered to the consideration of this present assembly	Kirkwood, James, 1650?-1709.	1699 (1699)	Wing K648; ESTC R227356	9,539	20

what_o place_n every_o o●k_n shall_v stand_v these_o be_v all_o the_o particular_n which_o i_o think_v necessary_a for_o the_o present_a for_o sound_v of_o bibliothick_n in_o every_o paroch_n but_o for_o the_o maintain_n and_o promote_a these_o '_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a further_o that_o 10thly_a one_o month_n cess_n to_o be_v pay_v yearly_o to_o be_v settle_v as_o a_o fond_a for_o buy_v and_o print_v all_o such_o book_n new_a or_o old_a as_o shall_v be_v judge_v valuable_a and_o useful_a to_o be_v distribute_v through_o the_o kingdom_n and_o every_o bibliotheck_n in_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v get_v a_o copy_n of_o every_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v print_v the_o one_o half_a of_o this_o month_n cess_n must_v be_v pay_v by_o the_o heretor_n conform_v to_o their_o valuation_n the_o other_o half_o by_o the_o minister_n conform_v to_o the_o proporion_n of_o their_o stipend_n 11thly_a this_o money_n or_o fond_n must_v be_v entrust_v to_o some_o honest_a person_n or_o person_n who_o shall_v therewith_o erect_v a_o printing-house_n and_o paper_n manufactory_a and_o shall_v settle_v and_o maintain_v a_o correspondence_n with_o all_o the_o print_n proffe_n abroad_o throughout_o europe_n and_o shall_v bring_v home_o some_o copy_n of_o all_o the_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v print_v as_o soon_o as_o possible_a and_o shall_v re-print_n all_o such_o book_n whether_o new_a or_o old_a as_o shall_v be_v judge_v fit_v or_o worthy_a to_o be_v distribute_v through_o the_o kingdom_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o give_v up_o account_n how_o the_o money_n be_v bestow_v from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o such_o minister_n and_o other_o as_o shall_v be_v appoint_v to_o receive_v and_o examine_v the_o same_o 12thly_a a_o commission_n of_o the_o general_n assembly_n must_v be_v appoint_v to_o revise_v all_o the_o new_a book_n that_o be_v bring_v home_o from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o to_o give_v some_o short_a account_n of_o they_o in_o print_n or_o to_o employ_v such_o person_n as_o they_o shall_v judge_v most_o fit_a for_o that_o work_n and_o to_o revise_v all_o the_o old_a book_n and_o to_o determine_v what_o book_n shall_v be_v print_v every_o month_n and_o to_o receive_v and_o examine_v the_o printer_n account_n this_o be_v a_o method_n which_o i_o think_v will_v be_v both_o easy_a and_o effectual_a for_o establish_v and_o promote_a of_o bibliotheck_n in_o every_o paroch_n throughout_o this_o kingdom_n neither_o do_v i_o foresee_v any_o material_a objection_n that_o can_v be_v make_v against_o any_o particular_a article_n of_o it_o for_o it_o shall_v be_v object_v against_o the_o second_o article_n by_o some_o of_o the_o present_a minister_n that_o if_o they_o shall_v happen_v hereafter_o to_o be_v remove_v from_o their_o paroch_n to_o another_o they_o will_v be_v at_o a_o great_a loss_n for_o want_n of_o those_o book_n with_o which_o they_o have_v be_v accustom_v of_o a_o long_a time_n this_o be_v easy_o answer_v for_o when_o a_o minister_n be_v remove_v from_o one_o paroch_n to_o another_o he_o will_v immediate_o have_v a_o right_n to_o all_o 〈◊〉_d at_o lease_n a_o part_n of_o the_o stipend_n of_o that_o paroch_n till_o he_o be_v pay_v for_o his_o book_n and_o then_o with_o that_o money_n he_o may_v buy_v what_o book_n he_o think_v most_o necessary_a for_o himself_o and_o give_v in_o to_o the_o library_n of_o that_o other_o paroch_n to_o which_o he_o shall_v be_v transplant_v and_o be_v pay_v for_o they_o after_o his_o removal_n it_o may_v be_v further_o object_v by_o the_o minister_n that_o when_o the_o public_a be_v debtor_n it_o be_v sometime_o difficult_a to_o get_v payment_n but_o this_o objection_n be_v groundless_a here_o for_o in_o this_o case_n the_o public_a be_v not_o debtor_n but_o every_o private_a man_n be_v debtor_n for_o his_o proportion_n of_o the_o vacant_a stipend_n to_o the_o minister_n himself_o or_o his_o heir_n and_o affigney_n ay_o and_o while_o he_o be_v pay_v for_o all_o the_o book_n he_o give_v in_o to_o the_o bibliotheck_n of_o that_o paroch_n but_o that_o which_o shall_v move_v the_o minister_n to_o comply_v willing_a with_o this_o article_n be_v that_o thereby_o they_o both_o retain_v the_o use_n of_o their_o book_n and_o also_o secure_a the_o value_n of_o they_o to_o themselves_o or_o their_o heir_n whereas_o otherwise_o they_o may_v be_v lose_v or_o sell_v for_o very_o little_a it_o may_v be_v object_v by_o other_o against_o the_o ten_o article_n that_o one_o month_n cess_n which_o amount_v to_o 72000_o pound_n scot_n by_o year_n will_v be_v too_o great_a a_o fond_a for_o buy_v and_o print_v of_o book_n yearly_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o it_o be_v too_o great_a it_o must_v be_v so_o either_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o book_n it_o will_v buy_v and_o print_n or_o in_o resdect_a of_o the_o person_n that_o may_v pay_v it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o too_o great_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o book_n it_o will_v buy_v and_o print_n but_o rather_o too_o little_a for_o the_o print_n of_o a_o large_a book_n as_o the_o five_o volume_n of_o pool_n critic_n upon_o the_o bible_n will_v more_o than_o exhaust_v all_o and_o then_o what_o shall_v bring_v home_o new_a book_n and_o re-print_n they_o and_o what_o shall_v maintain_v the_o correspondence_n with_o all_o the_o print_n place_n in_o europe_n neither_o be_v it_o too_o great_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n that_o must_v pay_v it_o for_o the_o half_a of_o it_o which_o be_v to_o be_v pay_v by_o the_o heretor_n be_v only_o the_o 120_o part_n of_o their_o value_a rent_n and_o their_o value_a rent_n be_v ordinary_o but_o the_o three_o part_n of_o their_o real_a rent_n so_o that_o a_o heretor_fw-la of_o one_o thousand_o and_o two_o hundred_o pound_n scot_n of_o value_a rent_n which_o be_v common_o 3600_o pound_n of_o real_a rent_n shall_v pay_v only_o ten_o pound_n scot_n yearly_a for_o maintain_v and_o promote_a of_o these_o bibliotheck_n and_o certain_o it_o will_v be_v very_o unworthy_a of_o any_o gentleman_n of_o such_o a_o rent_n to_o grudge_v the_o pay_v of_o ten_o pound_n scot_n yearly_a when_o for_o it_o he_o his_o child_n and_o tenant_n may_v have_v the_o free_a use_n of_o a_o well_o furnish_v library_n and_o of_o all_o the_o new_a book_n &_o gazette_n so_o soon_o as_o ever_o they_o be_v print_v and_o i_o believe_v most_o part_n of_o gentleman_n bestow_v more_o than_o this_o proportion_n of_o their_o rent_n upon_o book_n yearly_a &_o yet_o be_v but_o very_o insufficient_o provide_v yea_o many_o nobleman_n and_o gentleman_n bestow_v more_o upon_o news_n so_o that_o this_o half_a month_n cess_n will_v be_v no_o new_a burden_n upon_o they_o but_o a_o more_o effectual_a and_o profitable_a way_n of_o bestow_v that_o money_n upon_o book_n and_o news_n which_o now_o be_v expend_v to_o little_a or_o no_o purpose_n as_o for_o the_o other_o half_a month_n cess_n which_o be_v to_o be_v pay_v by_o the_o minister_n certain_o none_o of_o they_o will_v grudge_v at_o it_o see_v any_o minister_n share_v of_o it_o even_o although_o it_o be_v divide_v among_o they_o by_o equal_a part_n will_v amount_v only_o to_o 36_o pound_n scot_n which_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o yearly_a annualtent_n of_o that_o sum_n which_o now_o a_o minister_n must_v necessary_o be_v suppose_v to_o bestow_v upon_o book_n before_o he_o can_v be_v any_o way_n tolerable_o furnish_v for_o his_o study_n for_o suppose_v there_o be_v 1000_o minister_n in_o scotland_n that_o shall_v have_v library_n for_o their_o own_o use_n then_o each_o minister_n share_v of_o this_o 36000_o pound_n scot_n will_v be_v only_o 36_o pound_n which_o be_v only_o the_o annualrent_n of_o 600_o pound_n scot_n and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v few_o present_a minister_n but_o have_v bestow_v more_o than_o this_o sum_n upon_o book_n so_o that_o the_o half_a month_n cess_n upon_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o burden_n but_o as_o a_o way_n to_o preserve_v their_o money_n see_v by_o this_o method_n the_o yearly_a annualrent_n of_o a_o small_a sum_n of_o money_n will_v furnish_v they_o with_o a_o complete_a library_n and_o incomparable_o more_o book_n than_o both_o the_o stock_n and_o annualrent_n of_o a_o far_o great_a sum_n can_v do_v otherways_o but_o further_a there_o be_v several_a other_o consideration_n which_o may_v make_v the_o minister_n willing_a condescend_v to_o this_o article_n for_o either_o they_o may_v prevail_v with_o the_o king_n &_o parliament_n to_o ordain_v this_o half_a month_n cess_n to_o be_v pay_v out_o of_o the_o bishop_n rent_n or_o to_o lay_v it_o on_o upon_o the_o teind_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o do_v just_o belong_v to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n or_o some_o honest_a heart_a patron_n titular_a of_o the_o teind_n may_v gift_n or_o

remede_v all_o the_o forenamed_a inconvenience_n it_o be_v modest_o conceive_v with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n that_o the_o sound_n and_o maintain_v of_o bibliotheck_n in_o every_o paroch_n within_o this_o kingdom_n will_v be_v a_o most_o effectual_a mean_n for_o thereby_o a_o student_n will_v have_v complete_a library_n within_o a_o few_o mile_n of_o the_o place_n where_o he_o shall_v happen_v to_o reside_v out_o of_o which_o he_o may_v easy_o furnish_v himself_o from_o time_n to_o time_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o book_n fit_a for_o his_o purpose_n without_o money_n and_o that_o in_o his_o youth_n while_o he_o have_v health_n and_o strength_n to_o study_v and_o be_v free_a from_o the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n neither_o can_v he_o be_v trouble_v with_o useless_a book_n see_v he_o may_v present_o return_v they_o to_o the_o bibliotheck_n and_o take_v other_o and_o last_o these_o library_n in_o a_o few_o year_n will_v be_v full_a and_o complete_a be_v furnish_v not_o only_o with_o all_o the_o valuable_a and_o useful_a old_a book_n in_o any_o art_n or_o science_n but_o also_o with_o all_o the_o valuable_a new_a book_n so_o soon_o as_o ever_o they_o be_v hear_v of_o or_o see_v in_o the_o world_n as_o will_v clear_o be_v demonstrat_fw-la afterward_o the_o method_n and_o particular_n which_o i_o think_v necessary_a for_o this_o sound_n and_o maintain_v of_o bibliotheck_n in_o every_o paroch_n throughout_o this_o kingdom_n be_v these_o one_a a_o convenient_a place_n in_o every_o paroch_n must_v be_v set_v a_o part_n and_o sit_v for_o keep_v of_o book_n 2_o every_o present_a minister_n must_v give_v in_o all_o his_o book_n to_o the_o bibliotheck_n of_o his_o own_o paroch_n at_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o heretor_n of_o the_o paroch_n who_o shall_v cause_n rank_v they_o conform_v to_o their_o volume_n and_o shall_v cause_n take_v exact_a alphabetical_a catalogue_n of_o they_o with_o the_o place_n where_o and_o the_o time_n when_o they_o be_v print_v of_o which_o catalogue_n there_o must_v be_v four_o principal_a copy_n subscribe_v by_o the_o minister_n and_o heretor_n of_o each_o paroch_n whereof_o one_o copy_n shall_v be_v keep_v by_o the_o minister_n as_o a_o obligation_n upon_o the_o paroch_n till_o he_o be_v pay_v for_o his_o book_n another_o shall_v be_v keep_v by_o the_o heretor_n in_o a_o little_a chest_n in_o the_o bibliotheck_n that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o obligation_n upon_o the_o keeper_n of_o the_o bibliotheck_n to_o be_v answerable_a for_o all_o these_o book_n the_o three_o must_v be_v keep_v in_o the_o

be_v send_v to_o the_o principal_a library_n at_o edinburgh_n to_o keep_v there_o for_o several_a use_n 3_o for_o avoid_v all_o debate_n and_o difficulty_n that_o may_v arise_v between_o heretor_n and_o minister_n in_o value_v these_o book_n it_o will_v be_v fit_a that_o some_o minister_n and_o heretor_n be_v appoint_v to_o draw_v out_o a_o general_a catalogue_n of_o all_o the_o book_n in_o the_o kingdom_n out_o of_o those_o particular_a catalogue_n that_o shall_v be_v send_v in_o to_o edinburgh_n from_o every_o paroch_n and_o to_o set_v a_o certain_a price_n upon_o each_o book_n which_o

the_o presbytery_n shall_v supply_v that_o kirk_n during_o that_o time_n but_o if_o the_o paroch_n can_v convenient_o want_v a_o minister_n so_o long_o than_o the_o succeed_a minister_n shall_v want_v
