Abstract
SIR HENRY A. MIERS accomplished a great work his report for the museums of Great Britain when he wrote his report for the Carnegie Trustees, but that report was designed more particularly for museum committees and museum curators, and its appeal was for the specialist rather than the public. Now Sir Henry adds a second to his former accomplishment, for he has gone out into the wilderness to preach the gospel of museums to the people. This is as it should be, for it is to the apathy of the public and the dislike of intellectual effort, observable even where first-rate museums offer no excuse for it, that much of the inefficiency of museums can be traced.
