Altre informazioniInherited the Bridgewater Library by entail from Francis Egerton, at age 3, on condition that he take the name Egerton. From age 33, at the death of his father, he took full responsibility for the library, and made more improvements in it than at any time since the 17th century, largely because of the interest of John Payne Collier, librarian to the Duke of Devonshire, who recovered many of the treasures that had been sold by Todd (but also seeded the collection with many of his Shakespeare forgeries). Egerton demolished Cleveland House and built a new Bridgewater House on the site. [John Lancaster, from: Stephen Tabor, "The Bridgewater Library," in Pre-Nineteenth-Century British Book Collectors and Bibliographers (Detroit, 1999) [Dictionary of Literary Biography, 213], 40-50.]
