Catalogue of the Library of The Late Charles Bradlaugh

HYPATIA BRADLAUGH BONNER -- Catalogue of the Library of The Late Charles Bradlaugh, by Hypatia Bradlaugh Bonner. This is the catalog created by the daughter of Mr. Bradlaugh, Hypatia Bonner, to sell her father's books. Such catalogs and lists of books are always of great interest to scholars, and others interested in a person's life and accomplishments, as a person is influenced by what he or she reads. Charles Bradlaugh was an active Reformer and Atheist, so his choice of books will reflect that character and his opinions. But it is always the mind of the individual that decides what the person is, others may read the same books and their life and thoughts will be different, often entirely different. So books both change a person's opinions, and reinforce opinions believed or arrived at, but always the library of a great person is of interest to all who knew him.
