Further information on Dickens's reading can be gleaned from the catalogue of his library and pictures at Gadshill House, which were sold shortly after his death. It was edited by John Harrison Stonehouse (d. 1937) and published in London by the Piccadilly Fountain Press (which flourished in the 1930s) in 1935. On the assumption the material is now out of copyright, a PDF of a privately-lent copy is available to researchers here. 

The full title of the work is Catalogue of the Library of Charles Dickens from Gadshill: reprinted from Sotheran's 'Price Current of Literature' nos. CLXXIV and CLXXV. Catalogue of his Pictures and Objects of Art sold by Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, July 9, 1870. Catalogue of the Library of W. M. Thackeray sold by Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, March 18, 1864; and Relics from his Library, comprising Books enriched with his Characteristic Drawings, reprinted from Sotheran's 'Price Current of Literature' no. CLXXVII.
