Abstract
THE recent discussions relating to the Science Museum have brought to the front several important questions connected with the utilisation of land for public purposes connected with science and the arts. They have occurred, too, at a time when the Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851, who in times past have behaved so generously in selling their land at a nominal price, have now parted with the last square yard of it which can be used for the high purposes determined upon by the late Prince Consort when it was placed at his disposal by them.
