Most liberall and lending," referring to the books of an unknown type of library, and later in a context familiar to users of contemporary English, in 1708, by J. Chamberlayne; St. Gt. Brit.; III. xii. 475 " of Cambridge are Lending-libraries; that is, he that is qualified may borrow out of it any book he wants".
