    Who borrowed two books from the New York Society Library in 1789 but failed to return them ?Adjusted for inflation, he has since racked up $300,000 (?195,000) in fines for being some 220 years late.

    CORRECT! The first president of the United States of America borrowed the Debates from Britain's House of Commons along with the Law of Nations from the New York Society Library in 1789. At the time, it was the only library in Manhattan.
