The books in his shop in The Hague were not only for sale, but could also be borrowed. His list consisted of scientific works in all sorts of fields, which people who were eager to learn but could not permit themselves the purchase of an expensive book, could borrow. Followers of the Enlightenment, to which Scheurleer belonged, considered wide dissemination of useful knowledge to be of paramount importance. origineel: source: Scheurleer Fz, H. en Balen, P.G. van. - Naamlyst van een uitmuntende party der beste boeken. - Den Haag, 1757, titelprent ©description: Den Haag Koninklijke Bibliotheek ©reproduction: Amsterdam Universiteitsbibliotheek UvA |
