A decorative border surrounding the following text: THIS BOOK BELONGS TO DOCTOR BATTERSBY./If thou art borrowed by a friend, Right welcome shall he be/To read, to study, not to lend;/But to return to me.—/Not that imparted knowledge doth/Diminish learning's store;/But Books, I find, if often lent,/Return to me no more./Read slowly,—pause frequently—think seriously,—keep cleanly,—return duly,—with the corners of the leaves not turned down.
