Abstract
A VERY large number of noblemen and gentlemen, members of the Society of Arts, have signed a memorial to Her Majesty's Government, in which, after referring to the great benefit conferred by the opening of the Bethnal Green Museum, and the immense number of people (upwards of 700,000} who have visited it in three months, they “submit that this museum could never have come into useful existence, and have been instrumental in conferring these benefits on the people, without the aid of Parliament; and they desire to press this fact upon the consideration of Her Majesty's Government, with the hope that they will submit to Parliament the policy so essentially national of voting increased means to facilitate the establishment of museums, libraries, and galleries of Science and Art in large centres of population, wherever such localities are willing to bear their share in the cost.”
