Kilgore Memorial Library owns an original or photocopy of the octavos marked with “ ♦ .” A “ ♥ ” indicates the same piece’s availability in a book in the library’s collection. A separate table provides a checklist of octavos at the York County Historical Association as of Spring 2007.
We welcome any information that can help us fill in the significant gaps in this portion of the Octavos listing.
