The Catalogue of the Library of the Wisbech Museum: Comprising the Books Formerly Belonging to the Wisbech Literary Society, and those of the Townshend Bequest - Cambridge Library Collection - History of Printing, Publishing and Libraries
This 1882 catalogue lists two important collections that provide fascinating insights into nineteenth-century reading habits. The Townshend library was bequeathed in 1868 by the famous occultist and friend of Charles Dickens, while the Wisbech Literary Society (founded in this prosperous port in 1781) contributed works on history, biography and travel.
