To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the other hand, he has no less clearly recognized the limitations imposed on Museum Trustees in carrying out such a desire. Subordinate to these controlling princi- ples he has given no less attention to other important details. From the same double point of view he has not obligated the Museum to take his entire collection. He leaves the Museum free to select only those objects which it desires for exhibition. This is a very wise provision in his own interest and equally wise in the interes...t of the Museum and the public. Any collec- tor, desirous, as was Mr. Fletcher, of repre- senting his taste to future generations by a gift of his collection, might naturally, if his own point of view were to be considered, wish to be represented by his entire collec- tion; but from a public point of view, many objects, however important to his collec- tion when exhibited by itself, would not be important to his collection when exhibited in conjunction with other Museum collec- tions. Mr. Fletcher has, therefore, very con- siderately put upon the Museum no obli- gation to take anything it did not affirma- tively select.
