University Librarian at Cambridge from 1867 until his death, Henry
Bradshaw (1831-86) had inherited from his banker father an
important library of Irish printed books and pamphlets assembled in
the early nineteenth century. Having added to it, Bradshaw
generously presented the collection to the University Library in
1870, and it has been expanding ever since. Published in 1916, this
three-volume catalogue was compiled by the bibliographer Charles
Edward Sayle (1864-1924). The works listed here, numbering more
than 8,000 items and dating from the early seventeenth century
through to the late nineteenth century, represent a valuable
resource for students of Irish history and printing. Sayle's
catalogue reveals the breadth and richness of the collection at the
time of publication. Volume 3 contains the index to the catalogue
as a whole.
