William Bragge, F.S.A., F.G.S.,[1] (31 May 1823 – 6 June 1884) was a civil engineer, antiquarian, and author. He established a museum and art gallery.[3] He was notable in his day for collecting a library containing the entire literature on tobacco. The collection contained tobacco information in all its forms, almost all languages, with pamphlets, engravings, and other publications filling 17 large volumes.[4] In the English language, the two oldest bibliographies on books are Bragge's original and revised volumes on tobacco.[5]<br />His memberships include:<br />· Free Libraries Committee <br />· School of Art <br />· Fellow, Society of Antiquaries <br />· Fellow, Anthropological Society <br />· Fellow, Royal Geographical Society<br />
