Synopsis

Excerpt from On Natural History Museums: With Suggestions for the Formation of a Central Museum in Wales

In forming such a museum, the one great Object to be steadily kept in w must be that Of collecting, arranging, and exhibiting all the natural productions of the Principality. Every animal and vegetable, whether recent or fossil, every mineral and rock, to be found within the limits Of Tales, must be adequately represented, SO that the museum shall ultimately form a complete exponent Of Welsh natural history. But I would go beyond this. Not Only should the indigenous productions be exhibited, as presented in their original con dition, but the application of these products to the arts of life should equally be illustrated. In other words, the purely scientific department should be supplemented by a techno logical collection, exhibiting the uses which we make Of the natural resources at our command: Such a collection might even be extended with advantage to the local application of foreign raw materials and would thus completely illustrate the industries which are carried on within the limits of the Principality. Nor should the art and archaeology of Wales be neglected; but these are wide subjects, which lie far beyond my present scope.
