A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Museums, Libraries, and Picture Galleries stand separately upon the title-page of this essay, and the occurrence is not accidental. Although the reader may remember that a museum is defined as a collection of literary and scientific curiosities, and of the works of artists and learned men, he is requested to consider that in these days each branch of the old museums has grown so extensive (if to be rea Uyuseftd) that only a metropolis can afford to gather portions of a nations stores under one roof; and that at last it is discovered that even the British Museum is no longer universally thought capable of displaying every acquisition; indeed proposals are weekly made for the separation of the various divisions of the Museum, and their transportation to other localities.
