Abstract
DR. MEYER's valuable notes and comments on the museums of America and Europe are already familiar to our readers by the notices published in our columns of the issues of the original German text. Of that text the present volume is a translation, revised by the author himself, and with all the original illustrations reproduced, although in some instances on a smaller scale. Since the author's tour of inspection was primarily undertaken for the purpose of learning all that was to be learnt from American museums, the consideration of which occupies by far the greater portion of the report, it was only right and proper that an English translation of the latter should be issued in America rather than in this country, and the Smithsonian Institution deserves the thanks of all interested in museums for the excellent manner in which it has carried out its self-imposed task.
