— Yes. Do you not think that a great part of the popularity of that institution is owing to that circumstance? — I think so, certainly. On the whole, I gather from your evidence that you are not very sanguine as to the beneficial results that would arise from the opening of the British Museum and the National Gallery of an evening, as those institutions are at present constituted, from a want of space and the crowding of the objects there? — Whatever the results might be, from opening them, as ...at present constituted, I think better results might be attained by preparing institutions for the workman himself alone. Do you think that museums of birds and plants, established in various parts of the metropolis, illus- trated and furnished with pictures of domestic in- terest, and possibly with specimens of manufactures, would be more desirable, considering the mode in which the large institutions are now seen ? — I think in these great institutions attention ought specially to be paid to giving perfect security to all the works and objects of art which they possess ; and to giving convenience to the thorough student, whose business lies with those museums ; and that collections for the amusement and improvement of the working classes ought to be entirely separate.
