"The books ... fall into three groups: (1) a collection of Irish books inherited by Henry Bradshaw from his father, 'nearly doubled in value' ... by his own exertions, and presented to the University library in 1870; (2) a second collection made by him between 1870 and 1886, the year of his death, which was given to the library by his family; (3) books added ... since his death, or brought in from other parts of the library."--Pref.

A catalogue of the collection presented in 1870 and 1886 was published in 1909 in the Cambridge university library bulletin (Extra series)
