Abstract

WITH reference to the closing of the Loan Collection, a circular has been issued by the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education, stating that, although in consequence of the funds at their disposal for the Collection being exhausted, they have found it necessary to close the Exhibition, arrangements are being made for the safe custody of all objects which may be left on loan to the Museum, pending the decision by her Majesty's Government on the offer made by the Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851, of a building for the establishment of a permanent Science Museum. The Lords of the Committee of Council on Education also inquire whether exhibitors are willing to leave the objects contributed till this question be settled. The closing of the Exhibition will not interfere with the delivery of the Free Saturday Evening Lectures.
