Rubbish

I well remember a phrase of his, used not without a touch of irony significant for us librarians: "My favourite occupation is putting rubbish in order."
Cecil Bendall of Henry Bradshaw, Librarian at Cambridge [A Journey of Literary and Archaeological Reserach in Nepal and Northern Indian During the Winter of 1884-5, CUP 1886:vii]
