Extract from the Gazette, 1738
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, October 26, 1738.

[Advertisement] Taken or dropt out of a Chaise (as ’tis suppos’d) on the 4th Inst. in Philadelphia, or in the Road from it to Germantown, a new French Book in 12mo. (or less in Size than the small ordinary Bibles) gilt and titled on the back Jugemens des Savans. Tom. VII. It is one of a Set of 17 Volumes, cost at first less than 2s. 6d. sterl. and is of very little Value alone. But as the Loss of it would break the Sett, whoever brings it to Edward Shippen in Philadelphia, or to its Owner J. Logan, shall be paid Six Shillings for their Trouble.
