Abstract
THE British Museum, the parent and model of the museums scattered throughout our Empire, stands alone in that it has no journal of its own wherein to record the work done by its staff, though from time to time special memoirs and reports are published by the Trustees. There is much to be said for the publication of a museum journal, and not the least important of its functions would be to afford the general public an index of the magnitude and scope of its work, which can now only be estimated by laborious compilation from the annual “blue-book” or the publications of the various learned societies.
