> xii.	McGendies Phrenology [the “science” of skull
> bumps] 10 cents  

This one could be worth something for collectors of oddities. It is an interesting sideline in history.


> xv.	Pope’s Works, 7 volumes, $1.50
> xvi.	Locke’s Essay, $1.00 (no doubt a political treatise)
> xvii.	Marshall’s Life of Washington, 5 volumes and map,
> $2.50

Depending on what printing they are, could be worth good money.


> xxi.	1 Large Family Bible, $2.00 

These can be worth thousands now.
