Catalogue of the Library at Claremont, Clevedon and 16, Royal Crescent, Bath (Classic Reprint): Collected by George Weare Braikenridge: Collected by George Weare Braikenridge (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library at Claremont, Clevedon and 16, Royal Crescent, Bath: Collected by George Weare Braikenridge

It has been thought well to classify them according to subjects, not only as more conducive to orderly arrangement, but also as showing the special atten tion paid by the collector to Topography and all branches of Natural History, as well as his general love of literature.

It will be seen that the books on Natural Science and British and Foreign Topography form the most prominent feature of the collection; whilst the Bristol section may be more particularly mentioned, as the books, manuscripts, and numerous drawings com prised in it were a great source of interest to my father during many years of his life.
