If the number of the author’s books in the library, was the criterion of his popularity, then the palm must be awarded to George Walker, the English bookseller, who was a prolific writer of novels. Three were on Cramer’s shelves, _Theodore Cyphon, or the Beneveloent Jew_, _The Vagabond_, and _Three Spaniards_. The last is the only one that may still be met with. A popular book was _Children of the Abbey_, by Mrs. Regina Maria Roche, who was a rival of Mrs. Radcliffe. Madame de Staël’s _Delphine_, was read in more restricted circles. In the case of _Julia and the Illuminated Baron_, by Miss Sarah Barrell, an encyclopedia would be required to find either the name of the book or of the author. Other books with suggestive titles have become still more obscure. Among them were _The Silver Devil, Being the Adventures of an Evil Spirit, related by himself_; _The Rebel, Being a Memoir of Anthony 4th Earl of Sherwell, Including an Account of the Rising at Taunton in 1684, Compiled and Set Forth by his Cousin, Sir Hilary Mace_; _The Wanderings of William, or the Inconstancy of Youth_, being a sequel to the _Farmer of New Jersey_. There were few periodicals in the library. _The American Museum_, emanating from Philadelphia, was a monthly publication, and contained articles on almost every conceivable subject--“agriculture, commerce, manufactures, politics, morals, and manners.” _The Mirror_, was another Philadelphia periodical published semi-weekly, and was a reprint of _The Mirror_ of Edinburgh. _The Philanthropist_, appeared weekly. The library continued to be an institution in Pittsburgh’s intellectual progress for many years. It became the Pittsburgh Library Company, and contained as high as two thousand volumes. On November 27, 1813, after Cramer’s death, a new library was organized, also called the “Pittsburgh Library Company.” A committee was appointed to confer with the old Pittsburgh Library Company upon the propriety of forming a coalition of the two institutions.[280] Of this committee, John Spear, who had become a partner of Cramer’s, was a member. A consolidation was later effected.
