He was born in 1816, was educated at Rugby, and at Christ Church, and was formerly captain in the 79th Highlanders. He was a member of the Roxburghe Club & had assembled form an early age a very large and choice library, which comprised fine editions of the classics, the four folio editions and some quarto editions of Shakespeare's plays. The first library however was dispersed at Sotheby's in April 1890, when the 2218 lots realised almost £10,000. Gaisford remained a book collector, and possessed up to the time of his death another large library, much of which was removed to Howth Castle, on his marriage to Lady Emily, eldest daughter of the third Earl of Howth.
