Referenced by: Herbert . ** Samuel Bagster, the elder (1772-1851), founder of the publishing firm of Bagster & Sons, born 26 December 1772, was the second son of George and Mary Bagster, of Beaufort Buildings and St. Pancreas. He was educated at Northampton under Rev. John Ryland and after serving an apprenticeship with William Otridge, commenced business as a general bookseller on 19 April 1794 in the Strand, where he remained until 1816. He then moved to new premises at 15 Paternoster Row where the company stayed until 1850. A further move was then made to 14 King's Road, Bedford Row. The company traded as 'Samuel Bagster' from 1792 until1842. The name was then changed to 'Samuel Bagster & Sons'. Bagster had noted the rarity and consequent costliness of all polyglot bibles at the time, which gave him the idea of supplying the want of a handy and inexpensive edition. The production of English Bibles was a monopoly in the United Kingdom, confined in England to the King's printer and the two great Universities. It had been decided however, that the patent did not apply to bibles with printed notes. So, Bagster brought out 'The English Version of the Polyglot Bible', 1816, containing over 60,000 parallel references. The book was extremely successful, and was rapidly followed by versions of the bible in other various languages: Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian and Spanish. They were re-issued together in one volume entitled 'Biblia Polyglotta' in 1831. The popularity of Bagster's bibles led to 'The English Hexepla' in 1841, giving the six most important versions of the New Testament in the English tongue: Wiclif (1380); Tyndale (1534); Cranmer (1539); the Genevan (1557); the Anglo-Rhemish (1582), and the authorised (1611), together with the Greek text and a very good historical account of the English translations.

"Presented to Joseph Allen Galbaith on the occasion of his marriage with Hannah Maria Bredin in the Collegiate Church of St Nicholas Galway on the sixteenth day of July 1850 fifty A.D. by his sincere friend Samuel Haughton". ** Galbraith, Joseph Allen (29 November 1818 – 20 October 1890), professor of experimental philosophy and proponent of home rule, was born November 1818 in Dublin, the son of Richard Galbraith, a merchant and Scottish presbyterian, and his wife Rebecca. His father died in the 1820s, after which he largely supported himself.. Scientific researches into barometric pressure, geology, and the mathematics of pendulum-motion with respect of the rotation of the earth, published in the RIA Proceedings, succeeded his appointment as Erasmus Smith's professor of natural and experimental philosophy in May 1854. Together with his great friend, Samuel Haughton (qv), he had previously initiated a hugely popular series of manuals on aspects of mathematics and physics to intermediate and undergraduate level. These were so concise and well structured as to be recommended as textbooks for English schools and colleges by the privy council. They did not go out of print until the 1900s and helped to end Galbraith's financial insecurity. During the Crimean war (1853–6) both friends also made a great reputation tutoring numerous students for the difficult army artillery and engineering exams. He became grand chaplain of the grand lodge of freemasons in the 1850s and worked as treasurer on the management committee of the masonic girls school in Donnybrook.." - See Dictionary of Irish Biography. **** "Edgar Galbraith (16 June 1853 — 16 June 1899) - his son. Was an Irish international rugby union player. Born in Dublin, Galbraith was a forward with Dublin University Football Club and gained his solitary Ireland cap in the team's first ever international, against England at The Oval in 1875." - See List of Ireland national rugby union players ***** Richard Galbraith (6 Jun 1852 - 7 Dec 1888) - His son - He played for the Ireland national rugby union team. His first international test match was against England on the 15 February 1875. His last test match was against England on 5 February 1877." - See List of Ireland national rugby union players.
