IN the youngest city of the Empire, which on Saturday witnessed the inauguration, by Lord Derby, of its new university, already endowed with more than a hundred thousand pounds, the public recognition of the practical value of scientific education to the community, commenced only in 1860, when Sir William Brown gave to the town the magnificent pile of buildings forming the Free Library and Museum, which at once received from the late Lord Derby his fine natural history collection, and the Museum of Archæology and Art, formed with so much care and cost, by Mr. Meyer, of Bebington.
