Abstract
THE subject of Museum management and arrangement having lately been commented upon by Prof. Flower in a lecture delivered at South Kensington Museum, and printed in NATURE of December 14, 28, et seq., and also by Prof. Boyd Dawkins in an address to the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, noticed in NATURE of December 7, it may not be an inopportune time to suggest to those who have the management of these institutions the desirability of their mutual co-operation in order to develop them to their fullest extent. The great progress which has been made during the past few years in the establishment of museums in the various provincial towns of this country is highly creditable to those who have assisted in the movement, and the influence which they might have, if properly utilised and developed, on the education and intellectual progression of the people, gives them a forcible claim to national and individual support.
