He bequeathed his large, mainly nineteenth-century library to the Society in his will, and the collection, many of which are in fine bindings is now housed in the Fairfax Rhodes Reading Room at the Cambridge Union Library. Bewick, wood-engraver, had engraved more than 600 blocks for the two volumes of the Birds when the last of the eight editions of his lifetime had been published. See ODNB for a full Bio.
