Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Late Charles Bradlaugh My father's books were very dear to him, and had always been so, from the time when as a dragoon he was able to carry the whole of his library in his soldier's knapsack, until the day of his death, when his literary possessions had outgrown all ordinary-sized rooms, and had even swelled beyond the capacity of his work-room at Circus Road. They numbered in all rather over volumes, about Blue Books, besides a very large number of unbound pamphlets.
