By THe Ricur HonouRABLE THE LorDs OF THE COMMITTEE OF HER Maggsty’s most HonouraBLE Privy Councit on EpucarTIion. The forthcoming International Exhibition of 1862 being likely to cause a great increase in the number of visitors to the Museum, and as the New Courts, now in course of construction, will by the time of the opening of the Exhibition be ready to receive collections, it is desirable on that occasion to extend, in a special manner, the system, which has hitherto been so successful, of receiving fine Works of Art on loan. It is therefore the intention of the Department to assemble together in 1862 a special collection of Works of Art, in categories analogous to those repre- sented in the Art Museum, with the view, more particularly, of bringing together for temporary exhibition the finest known specimens of their several kinds in this country. Without for the present setting forth any definite scheme, objects in the following categories may be specified :—Decorative works in metal of the Mediaeval and more recent periods; gold and silver plate. Bronzes. Decorative arms and armour. Jewellery. Enamels. Earthenware and Porcelain. Carvings in Ivory and other materials. Deco- rative furniture, Miniatures, &c. Mr. J. C. Robinson, the Superintendent of the Art Collections, is charged with the execution of this Minute. By order of the Committee of Council on Education. Henry Core, Secretary.

(1.) As the intention is less the formation of a very extensive collection than that of an extremely sclect and systematic one, it is obvious that the reception of unnecessary or duplicate specimens must be avoided, and that on the other hand the most careful consideration should be exercised in the selection of the real and acknowledged treasures of art alone desired on this oceasion. These desiderata, however, can only be attained by the kind co-operation and acquiescence of the possessors of valuable works in the practical methods devised for carrying the exhibition into effect. It is therefore hoped that the possessors of fine works of art, who may be disposed to lend them for the gratification and instruction of the public, will kindly consent to allow such works to e selected from their collections as may be specially asked for, in accordance with methodic lists, which it is intended to complete, if possible, before any specimens are actually removed. (2.) All expenses attending the removal of objects to the Museum and their return at the close of the exhibition will be defrayed. (3.) In every case, where necessary or practicable, objects wiil be packed and removed in charge of the proper responsible officers of the Department, and returned in the same manner. (4.) The exhibition will be kept open from June to October, and it is hoped that lenders will be disposed to leave their contributions on view during that time. It is not, however, intended to depart from the original rule of the Museum in reference to objects received on loan, namely, that contributors, if desirous, may reclaim their loans at any moment.

THE following Catalogue was originally brought out in five parts, which appeared at intervals, as the materials for them could be procured. The order in which the sections occur, therefore, depended rather on their relative completeness at the early period of the collection of the objects, and on the convenience of the writers who have aided the Hditor in his task, than on any plan of arrangement which he could have laid down for his guidance. Several sections have been supplemented by addenda, consisting chiefly of objects, the late arrival of which prevented their insertion in the regular order ; others not easy to class, will be found under the head of “ Mis- cellaneous.” A general index of names of lenders and objects is now appended. Considering the hurried manner in which every section of the work was necessarily produced, it is certain that numerous errors, doubtless some regretable ones, must have occurred. The preparation, however, of a really adequate descriptive catalogue of such a vast Collection would have been the work of years, rather than of a few months; and the fact that each writer zealously did his best to complete his task at the earliest possible moment, in order that the descriptions might be available to the public, whilst as yet the objects themselves remained on view, must be accepted as the best apology for shortcomings. xiv As will be seen from the lists herein, the number of contributors to the Collection was about five hundred, and the actual number of specimens contributed may be computed at upwards of nine thousand, whilst the number of visitors to the Exhibition, from June to November inclusive, was nearly nine hundred thousand. INTRODUCTION (TO THE EARLIER EDITIONS). THE difficulties attending the assembling together, from all parts of the Kingdom, of the diversified objects composing the present collection, rendered the preparation of a Catalogue, in time for the opening of the Exhibition, quite impracticable. It was found to be impossible to obtain sufficiently precise information respecting the objects about to be contributed, to enable detailed preliminary lists to be prepared, whilst the postponement of transmission of a great proportion of the specimens, until the latest moment, rendered the work of arranging the collection for exhibition, of itself sufficiently onerous. The necessity for a catalogue, however, was evident, and the present instalments are an attempt to supply the want, at all events, as speedily as circumstances would allow. The names of the writers of the several sections precede the same. It is intended to issue further parts with as little delay as possible, rather than to await the completion of the entire work. The Editor takes this opportunity of gratefully acknow- ledging the invaluable aid and assistance rendered by the members of the Committee, in respect to the work of obtaining loans, many gentlemen having, indeed, taken charge of, and conveyed from considerable distances, objects of great delicacy and value. A complete list of the Committee precedes this notice. The active co-operation of his colleague, Mr. R. H. 8. Smith, and of the Rev. James Beck, in like manner calls for special recognition. Xvi The liberality and public spirit of the owners of the treasures now brought together need no comment ; applica- tions for loans were, almost without exception, responded to with the utmost readiness, and, indeed, the only diffi- culty was to restrict the contributions, offered on all hands, within the limits of the space to be filled.
