Jeremy,
I picked up a copy of this book yesterday at the Book Shop in Fort Lauderdale. In 1747, Abraham Redwood gave £500 Sterling to create a "publick library." It is the third library formed in the American Colonies. The catalogue contains 867 listings of 1500 books.
I'll be cataloging the Boswell and Hyde libraries before I even think of cataloging this one. If you want to catalog it sooner, I can send you my copy. There are several copies on the web for less than $20.
