'. ]22. They requested the then President of ,tbe Roya1.Aqademy in London, Sir Charles Eastlake; to select for the' gallery pictures of a suitable description. - . ...., , . 123.

129. After the death of Sir Cha;'les Eastlake, Mr. Alfred Taddy Thomson, formerly resident in Victoria, was requested to act for them in London; at first, to procure the execution of pictures by commissions to six distinguishcd members of the Royal Academy, afterwards, by purchase.

130. Mr: 'Thomson 'continued' to favor the Trustees with' the benefit "of his services, under the instructions previously,conveyed, which were M.follow:- _ , I

".(Clause 30.) The selection: should proceed on 'an organized system, capable of extension in various directions, so as to illustrate history, both sacred and secular, ,poetry, domestic life, landscape, portraiture, and those subjects more immediately required for instruction in drawing, and that such copies as may be deemed necessal'y be added from time to time.'" .

"(Claus!, 31.) ~t:wofold objeCt 'wQuld bet.hus accomplished; on'e, in the'.a~,qui8ition of choice works of contemporary artists, 'for ih.e pleasure, improvement, varietY"and conti'as't which th!lY afford; il-uother, in, the illustration of the history of Art.

"(Clause 32.) In the expenditure of the funds at command, the first consideration should be to maintain the standard of excellence.' iJ

. "(Clause 32.) it would be; in onr opinion, judicious iu future to select a few pictures of large size and of high order iustead of a, greater number of smaller size, choosing them from such sources as have been hitherto sought, or as are within reach, in Europe'; or procuring them by express commission to artists of eminence." ." . -," .

EXHIBITION OF Fli~E ART.

132. In the year 1869 the Trustees took fidvantage of the first available opportunity'of acting on the recommendation contained in the Report of the Commission of Fine Art. already mentioned, find' they held an Exhibition of objects of Fine Art in the great hall of the Institution.

The clnuses referred to are :-" 53. We believe also that _it would be pl'lldent. to empower the Trustees to reeei ve upon loau objeets suitable for 'exhibition, and to nllow oceasional tem'porary loans by them to organized and responsible bodics in country towns of sueh objects as would bear removal, all expenses being paid by the borrowers, nnd the usual precautions and seeurities being taken against accident, inj ury, and loss. ' . "The successful working of such a system has been fully established in England, in epp.tributing 10 whichHer Majesty L~e Queen hns set an ilInstrious example, followed in a spirit of the amplest generosity by lhe nobility, gentry, and by public institutjons.' . , "54. the exercise of .the former privilege would bring to light many objects, curious, interesting, and valuable, the existence of which, in this eountry, ~s at present hardly known to any hut the possessors of ~hem. It could not but be pleasing to the owners to see exhibited under favorable eonditions the cherished treasures which they have brought with them from distant countries, find it would be 'gratifying to the pU.blic to sIJare that pleasure, whilp such !).n arrangem.ent could not fail to operate here, as elsewhere, in creating additional interest in the subject of art

"55. As regards I.he laUer, 'all the reasoning in favor of such 'a measure in, a country where Art~ treasures exist in such unbounded profusion, and where the means of and ability for loeomotion to visit the seats of them are so abundant, applies with multiplied force to this conn try, in which such objects are so rare, and in which the means 'of.travelling are so' 1I1uch more limited. .

, "56~ There ought not to he any hesitation in following, if it can be done with safety, 'so enlightened a precedent, the effeet of which will be to extend the at'ea within which those honored with the management may diffuse the improving, refining, and elevating influences created by'the presence of such wor){s, to dispel t.he erroneous notion that a desire exists to cen,tralise them in, and confine them to Melbourne, nnd to enlist a larger portion of the community in direct and cordial alliance with the Institution; whileothe,r not less important consequences may be expected to follow here, as elsewhere, from such a course of proceedil.\g, in the unfolding of new sources of industry and enjoyment, and in additions being thereby made to the material wealth of the country." .

133. Persons resident within the immediate neighbou_l'hood of Melbourne were requested to lend to the Trustees paintings and object~ of Art of vnrious descriptions, and the requ~st was replied to in a spiri~ of the most obliging liberality. . '

134.' The Exhibi tion was attended with Ii snccess beyond the most sanguine expectations. It was kept open for 94 days, the number of visitors amounted to 14,634, the receipts for daily admission and season-tickets reached.,tJle sum of £2511 18s., and, after defraying all expenses, a haudsome balance remains.

135. In order to perpetuate in a subst~ntial manner the recollection of t.he result, and in grateful recognition of the help by ,vhich they were favored, the Trustees resolved to invest this surplus, and to endow a scholarship, founded to reward the most deserving pupil in the School of Painting, and School of Design, in alternatc years.

THE SCHOOLS. 136. On many occasions during the period of their management the Trustees represented to the.

successive Governm<:nts the advisability of affording facilities for the ,teaching of drawing, and the various arts connected with design.' 'I,

137, In the year 1862 they received materiltl assistance in their efforts from the generosity of Mr. Dalgetyand Mr. Murphy, both formerly resident in Melbourne. The former placed £100 at their disposaL As it was considered desirable to encourage the manufacture of pottery and the finer kinds of the ceramic ware (materials for the fabrication of which abound in this country), the sum was expended in procuring from the Messrs. Copeland, in London, a series of examples of the mode of preparing the clay of Staffordshire mixed with the several ingredients employed in the course of manufacture,' and types of some of tbe choicest varieties of European pOI;cel,ain. To this donation were added several otber illustrations, presented by other friends of the Institution, including a fine group of imitation Etl'uscan vases, by Batten, F.R.S., the gift of Captain Clarke, R.E., formerly Surveyor-General of Victoria, ,which rendered the small collection tolerably complete. Mr. Murphy gave a donation of £50, with which was purchase'd a collection of casts and moulds similar to those· used in thc South Kensington Museum.

138. These were prepared by Brucciani, of Great Russell Street, London, and it is due to him to mention that on being informed t1'at they were intended for public instruction in Victoria, he made a large reduction·in the price usually charged for t,hem, 'and he himself bore the expense of packi!lg them forthe voyage,

139. Owing to the want ot' space in' which to display these models they unfortunately remained for some years in the cases ill which they arrived in this country, and it was not nntil the year 1868 that a r90m was set ap'art for them, in which they were exposed for the advantage of the expected pupils.

, 140. Still it was not in the power of the, Trustees to provide instructors; and although several young persons (the number was at one time 47) availed themselves of the privilege of copying the pictures and the casts and busts in the galleries, and labored with much diligence, receiving occaSIOnal suggestions from artists and others, it is to be feared that they did not derive mnch benefit from their exertions.

141. A further handsome donation of £ 100, to be expended,in illustrations of the art of Architecture, for the instruction of the pupils in the school, waS made by Mr. Linacre, the contractor who built the north and south wings of tlle western front. That sum bas been laid out in objects selected also from the South Kensington Museum, and their arrival in M;elbourne is expected in the .course of two or three months.

142. It is then only to the exte~t qf collecting materials for e(jucation in these departments of Art that the Trustees were able to proceed. ,

143. Reference to the catalogues of the contents of the Museums will afford evidence that they handed over to their successors a goodly stock of objects to assist beginners in primary instruction, as well as students in the higher walks of Art. I

144. They remark with satisfaction that the Committee to which was assigned the administration of the National Gallery, empowered by a vote which placed salaries at their disposal, took steps promptly after their appointment to ope.n these schools under the conduct of competent instructot's.

CONCLUSION. 145. Having thus followed the step~ of the progressive growth of the Library and its various

sections, and shown the extent to. which within the short period o(its existence it has expanded in so many directions of active usefulness, the only remaining duty is to mention some facts which show the degree in which the Institution has been appreciated by the public.

, 146. When it was first thrown open many circumstances combined to' induce the Trustees to adopt a greater freedom of ingress to visitors and liberality of access to the books than is usual elsewhere.

, 147. The nature of the population which flowed into the country in such large numbers during th6 , early years of its establishment showed the utter futility of placing reliance on letters of introductioo, or of

imposing on visitors restrictions which, in the oldest communities, have a j;endency to degenerate into mere obstructive formalities, and to afford but slight security for: the cOl'l'ect conduct of the person recommended.

148. Admission was therefore freely gi\'en, without'payment or impediment, to all persons above tM age of 14'ye8rs, whether residents or strangers.

• 149. is' ot heing,prepared. to' a.'ll!. for!t4e ,l~rge s~~: ~'equj);ed for the di~triQution .of b~oks to read(lrs, the Trustees resolve,d to venture boldly on the experiment of allowing the visitprs",to, make free use of th,~m without recourse'to requisitions or orders, whiqh. in so many different forms' are' 'employed iu other libiarr~,s:

!, ' 150.- By s9me it·was antieipated that the privileges thus offered would 110t be. appreciated; by others that they would be abused. .It is satisfactory to the Trustees to, be able t~) that the' success of the c,ourse they 'adopted .has been completely vindicated by the result., "

, 151. The tables subjoined' show that the increase of. visitors has 'iweUed with the enlargemeIl:t of the building and the addition to the books, and that the inhabitants of lVlelbolirne and its suburbs have not been tjlow to avail themselves of the mean.s ofrational enjoyment and mental improvement placed within their reach.

152. Shortly after the opening of the ,LibrarY' some instanc'es' of the intnisicl1i'of'disorderly men occurred; they w~re quietly removed, and did not make tj:leir appearance'again.' ,:wlth'the.se exceptions t~lere has not been for many ye~rs a case of disturbance of visitors, resistance to tli'e 'authorities, or such misconduct as to call for the interferenee of the offieers of the Institution.

: 153. The prognosticated extensive abstraction and destruction of books was not fulfilled ,either, and to the credit of, those who have visited and. freqJl~nted th" Library,. it may be recorded that during the thirt~e~ yeal;s ~~~e,puhlie hav~,enjpy,edunrestricted use of the bppks, thJ3 number taken away has not ex~eeded t'!Vo hundred and tltirty-seven i'olurnes . . Of these, fifty 'were octavo~, of which, sii"were ,l'pturn,(ld or , found at the euumeration which succeeded their being missed ;Awenty-eigbt volumes deposited ,,,ith the Trustees, flot marke'd with the library stamp, stolen by qn,e man, were recovel'ed'through the active co-opert,ttion of,Mr. Jtatten, the I..iibrarian of the Mechanics' Institute of Ballarat West, at which town the thief had attempted: tp .,dispqse of tJ:J.em; the remainder were restored, on • the' prosec'll-tion and conviction of the offenders. Of the other hundred uud eighty-,eight consistillg of 12mo, 18mo, and one 24mo, six were found or returned. , 154. Of t.hese later;, of small size, abstracted,- the g.reatest ;nUp:loer w.erc ,edl).cational works of the

trifling 'value of foul'p('nce to ninepeoce each, pro.bably borrowed hy 'youths' for tlu; purpose of perusal at 11Ome, who may have enterta,ined the intention of' retrii'ying them, and may, ha,ve been prevented by not baving found an opportunity of so doing without ,being detected. Some were works of fiction which the '+rus~eeshave.declinedto repla~.:.. " " ,::' ,:' " . ',. " '

155. It is a 'source of satisfaction to them'to have it in their power -to ~tate that ,ow;ing, on ,t,l;1e one Hand 'to, the watchful attention of their own staff, and on the other, to theJeady support t~ey have z:eceived ~rom .th~ persons to whom boo~s, abstracted from, the library !lave been offered ,for sale, as well' as 'to 'the nromptitud~.o£ the police ip.,follo,¥ingup th~ delinquents, depredations of this disgra"ceful charadeI' rarely pass without detection and punishment. I

156. A schedule annexed embodies, tbe few and simple' rules :which have. been in operationJor the conduct"of >;L~itor8 since the opening of tlle Library in 1856. ' . : " . '. ~ ,157. It i" extremeLy gratifying to be ,a~le to apirm that the, estimate originally formed Ity the Trllst~es ' o.f..the.ch~racter and probable conduct of the members of the community was not a mistakeri,one, and that the confidence reposed in them has not been misplac~d. ..' _. "_' ,

158. A retrospq,ct of the, occurrences of fourteen years shows a relatively trifling number ofinstances , d,f abuse of I,he privileges extended to the 'puhlic; that the prop,ortiouof such instances has decreased in ratio as I,he number of volumes and of visitors increased; ftnd that the lib~rality of adminis~ration, (where])y , the public were influenced to regard the property as 'their own, 'committed, to the vigilant, and confiding

. custody of the Trustees) has tended much, to the convenience of readers" to the protectiQn of ,the property it~elf, and has produced that becoming state .of deferential ordeI> which 'uniforU)ly obtains in the Library. , ; ,159. The Committee 'wish it to be known, also, that such results are t{) he attributed, in no small

{legree, to Ille watchful supervision and the,tcmperate)discretion o'f the Librari~n, Mr.-Tulk, and t,he Assistant Librarian, l\'J:i:. Sheffield; and, to, the general good and obliging behaviour of the small hut v,ery e(ficien~ ~taff at their command .. >They desire, further, to express theil' thanks -emphatically to Mr. Tulk, for' 'the "Cl'Y valuable assis~aLlce; which his varied- learning, his liberal-mindecl, well-regulated" and' systematic ~rrangemellts, and 11i1 tillwearieq attentif!n to bis ,responsible duties, hl),ve "eu\ll1led him' to afford them; as also to Ml'. Sheffield, fOI: the like impcI'tanth.elp in his sphere: his extensive l'C~ding, ,his comprehensive !1.cquain'tance' ~vith books, his remarkr.ble accuz'ucy and devoted application to" hi~ duty, have caused them to ~ecl justified in ,plaeing thorough faith in his work. . , ' '., , 160. InconclusiOll, the Committee draw !tttention to the last schedule, which furnishes' a ~Ul:nmary

of the moneys expended,and the property acquired by purchase al1d donation, of the 'tofa! value 'of One hundred andjifty-seven thousand and twenty-six pounds ~en shillings and e'ig}tpencf., , '

REPORT 'OF THE CO~fMITTEE ,FOR 1870'::-1.,', , ' ,

, ,

Having already reported half-yearly:, as r~quir:ed. bY,jhe Rules, the Commit~e have nothing of especial interest to submit.

After the existing Aet of Ineorporation was passed; the new body of Trustees appoil?ted, and the distribution of the,management of the seetions into which tIle Institution was subdivided' had been made, the direction of the affairs of the Library was given to the five remainiug original Trustees.

They have continued in their, occupation, much rejoiced at being relieved, by the co-operation of zealous and able colleagues (to whom has been delegated the conduct of the other branches of the Institution) from duties the increasing burden of which, even i~ the'l'udimentary state of the~e branches, pressed some-what heavily on, them during late years. ' , '.. ' " ,- ": :':,.

Tl,le sum, of £3250, voted by Parliament for books and binding, has been expended. , Of books ordered from England, 1476 volumes have arrived; 1694 volume,S have been bought in

Melbourne; 554 works of all kinds have been' received urider the' Copyright Act. 'The number of donations made during fifteen months amounts ,to-books, 1127 j parqphlets, 1643; total, 27,70-and proves that the' interest shown by the friends' of the institution infts w~ifare is sustained. 'These; added ,to volume!! in the Library at the time of the previous enumeration, give a total of 62,662 printed bOOKS of all kinds on its shelves in the month of March, 1871-the fourteenth year after it was thrown open to ~the public.

Credit might be taken for several hundred volumes more, ordered "in 1870, and expected to arrive within the next three .months; but as the extent to which the orders may have been executed is not yet announced, they are not included in the number given. ' I

255~ volumes were lent to eleven Free Libraries and Mechani,cs' and Literary Institutes, and four new applications for loans have been made, to which the Committee have willingly acceded.

Of the books ordered from Europe, mention may be made of some expressly required to complete the literature of certain special' subjects :-

1st. A continuation of the most notable editions of the Holy Bible. , 2nd. A lm;ge addition to the works treating on pomology, vine culture, wine making, horticulture,

and agriculture. , 3rd. The standard writers on Italian art not heretofore procured. The serials,and periodicals for the year, complete and bound, including the Patents for the year 1870,

will, it is expected, arrive within the ensuing month. Letters have ,been despatched to the, Right JIonorab,1e the ~ecretary of State for Iridia, their

Excellencies the Governor-General of India, and the Governors of Bombay, Madras, and Ceylon, presenting Parliamentary and other'papers relating to the public affuirs of this country, and requesting to be favored in return with Sta.te papers and R~ports relating, to- '

Administration'· Forests Photographs, Published by Agriculture Geology Departmeut of Survey , Banking Health Population - Reports and Barracks Indigo Growth, &c. II Papers Botany Interpal Communication Reports of Departments Canals Irrigation Rice Cinnamon Land Tenure Silk Coffee Law Sugar ., Commerce Lighthouses Survey Cotton Maps Timber Crime Meteorology Tobacco Education Military Trade Ethnology' M,inerals and Mining Translations of Ancient and Exploration Natural History Modern Work in Asiatic Finance 'or Oil ; "Languages ,

A reply has been J;'cceived from Sir Hereules G. R. Robinson, Governor Of Ceylon, accompanied by a series ,of highly interesting documents, which His Excellency has been pleased to cause to be transmitted. Hopes are entertained that acts of similar. substantial cou,rtesy may be expected at the hands of the other distinguished persons sO addressed. The war in Europe has interrupted for several months correspondence witp booksellers in Bedin and'Paris, and the regular active intercourse hitherto had with them.

The number of visitors recorded was 165,360. This shows a considerable decrease on the attendance of former years, and it calls for explanation.' '

The Library was closed during the month of July for geperal cleaning and the periodical enumeration o~ the books. During the eleven months when the Institution, was open to the public, and while the portico was being erected, the visitors were admitted by an entrance on the north side. This led immediately to the Museums, Galleries, anq.,G,reat ,Hall, which had been, renqered 3:ttra~tivtlby the introduction of large well-classifi~d collections; and 'there is reason to believ~ that sonie visitors may have instructed or amused themselvefl'in those departments without, re~ching the. Library. The practice of self.registration of visitors by entering their names in a book at the Library door was'not observed as strictly as in former times •.

76

i* the beginning of this year It t~rnstile was placed at ~the principal e!ltrance, which records the ~dmissio~ of each individual. Due allowance.being made for some irregularity in its working at first, and for the d~ily passing and repassing of members of the staff, the number registered during the :nonths of January,: February, and March, as visitOl's to all sections of the institution, was 89,094 ..

.IX second turnstile is about to be placed at the door of the Library, so that an accurate return of all visitors will in future be thus supplied, ,without imposing upon them even the slight trouble of writing their names.

The substitution of this turnstile for the previously e~i~ting practice of inscribing the name r~moves " the only ,restriction on admission to the Public Library., " . . , .,

Hon. JOHN A. MACPHERSON. CHARLES E. BRIGHT, Esq. Rev. J. I. BLEASDALE, D.D.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR 1870.

To THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, NATIONAL GALLERY, AND MUSEUMS OF VICTORIA.

1. The Sectional Committee of the Industrial and Technological Museum have the honour to present the report of their proceedings for the year 1870.

2. Through the liberality of Parliament you have been entrusted with the formation of an Industrial and Technological Museum, and the executive portion of this trust has been confided to the Committee, who have now the honour to report upon their labours.

3. The great extent in England and on the Continent of Europe of what may be termed the Tech­nological Movement, rendered it necessary that the artisan of Victoria, unless he wished to be left completely behind, should have at his disposal the same means by which his brothers of Prussia and France have been first in the race of Industrial competition. Therefore, the object of the Committee has been to bring to -bear upon the development of the resources of this country those advantages, and to ensure to the Victorian artisan at least those opportunities which the movement has secured to his fellow-craftsmen of Great Britain.

4. The Committee were of opinion that this could be best effected by a triple method of procedure­by the establishment of an Industrial and Technological Museum, where processes of manufacture and industry might be practically and scientifically detailed; by Lectures upon Science in relation to industry, and by Class Instruction; and these methods of procedure a~e in accordance with those found'to have been most effective in the training schools of Europe.

5. The Committee, however, found considerable difficulties in the primary stage of their undertaking. The sum of money placed at their disposal-though sufficiently large to carryon successfully a Museum which had been for some time established-was very inadequate to secure the carrying out of their plans as desired.

6. The first necessary step was to establish the nucleus of a Museum, and this the Committee found to be an expensive and difficult undertaking.

7. In the first place, the large hall which was built for a National Museum had been for some timtl past used for purposes different to the uses for which it was originally intended, and the necessary alterations and repairs amounted during the past six months to £135 5s. A large number of cases had to be purchased and repaired at a cost of £223 Is. Sd., while specimens were purchased amounting to £72 lOs.

8. Parliament having voted a sum of £350 per annum for ,a Scientific Superintendent, the Committee recommended to you Mr. J. Cosmo Newbery, B.Sc.; for that appointment, and have since had every reason to be satisfied with the result of their recommendation.

9. Immediately upon his appointment, the Scientific Superintendent commenced, by the purchase of specimens of minerals and industrial products, and the scientific arrangement of such donations as the Com­mittee from time to time received, to establish the Museum upon a scientific as well as an industrial basis.

10. The Museum has been formed on the same principle as the Museum of Irish Industry in Dublin, under the direction of Sir Robert Kane, and the Scotch Industrial Museum, founded under the direction of the late Professor Wilson.

11. In arranging the Museum, regard has been had to the natural divisions of geological, phytological, and animal products, and their industrial uses.

12. The Mineral Collection has been enriched by. the addition of several cases from the Mining Department, and is being daily rendered more perfect. Particulars will be found in the Scientific Super­intendent's Report, which is annexed. (Schedule A.) . 13. In connection with this department it was con'sider~d advisable to give as much prominence as possible to Local Manufactures; among others to pottery ap.d glass. The contribution presented to the Trustees some time since by Mr. Dalgety, exhibiting, as it does, the various stages of manufacture, is, in this respect, of great value; and application having been made to the Agent-General for Victoria, the Committee received frolh him a promise of a large accession of exhibits of this class.

14. In order that no opportunities might be lost of advancing native industry, the 'Scientific Super­intendent has visited sev~ral factories in Melbourne and the suburbs, and every effort has been made to increase the collection in this particular. Some donations have already been made.

15. The Committee intend to give special prominence .to all exhibits illustrating the technical treat­ment of ores, their reduction, and various processes of manufacture.

16. The P~ytological section has made 'considerable progress. Amongst other things, a valuable collection of Australian woods is exhibited. Dr. Von Mueller, the Government Botanist, at the request of the Committee, has undertaken to arrange the specimens in scientifie series, with which work considerable progress has been made. It is considered desirable that the common English names of specimens as well as the Latin synonyms, should be in all cases attached.

No. 13. F

82

1 17. The Animal Collection is at present incomplete, but the Committee is making strenuous endeavours to add to this section. The Secretary has corresponded largely with several manufacturers who employ ~nimal products in their trade processes; the Scientific Superintendent has visited several tanneries; and it is hoped that in ,the course of the year satisfactory additions will he made to this department., A case of prepared leather, showing the process of the industry of Tanning, has been presented by Mr. Paul Cansick, of the Roseda1e Tannery, Gipps I,and. Steps have been also taken to illustrate in its various stages the important indust.ry of Wool Manufaeture, and \ arrangements have been made for shortly submittil,lg to the public specimens of this brallch of trade, from t,he unwashed wool to the finest fabric manufactured here or in England. ,"

1 R, The Committee are also of opinion that a court should be set apart for the exhibition of Ship and Boat Building, as also fur the exhiblt.ion of all material and appliances, employed in the trade of Fishery. Means have beell taken to carry this into effect.', '

19, I~ is also, in the opinion of the Committee, extremely desimble that specimeus of the' Fire-arms of all nations should be'exhiDited;inoraer that Victorinn mechanics ami gunsmil.hs may have an,opportunity bf examining the principles of construction, and in{ormillg themselves :18 to the utility of the various improvements upon weapons of warfare. The Committee have communicated with the Foreign Consuls, the' Agent-General, and the Commaudant of the Loqal ,Forces, ,npon the subject, ,~nd trust soon to be in a positiou to carry out their intention. ., .

20. It is the purpose of theC.Qmmittee,to set. apart the, large ll,npexe, hitherto known as the "C:1rriage ' Annexe," as a room for the exhibition of Large Machinery and Agricultural Implements.

,~ " .!'

LECTURES.

, 21. Before any attempt,could be made to carry out the sec0I!d portion of ~hc arrangem,ents relative t9 the delivery of lectures, it was necessary that a suitable Lecture Room should be fitted up.

, , 22. TIle 'Committee came to the' conclusion that t,he' Rotunda was the portion of the ;building best ~tted for such a purpose, and a Lectme, Room, duly provided with· ga's' and ,vater,' and' capable of holding {)Vel' 250 persous, was'~rected Ulider' the direction of the Scientific Superintendent; at it cost of'£141 2s. 4d, ~rhe Committep, cOllsider'themse,lves fortunate in having obtained the ussjst~ce ,0f'Profess!)r McCoy! P~o­fessor Wilson, Professor HalfQrd, Dt. Von Muellei', Mr, E;l)ery, and Mr, Foord, who conserited to lecture ~lpon t,llose subjects which they severally profess. . ' Ii ' 23. These 'lectures', ,the Committee are gratified to be able to report, were a complete success. It {v'as"arrange'd that admIssion sliould be by tickets, given up to the day of the 1ecture to any person who might ask fol' them, and that any person who came unprovided with a ticket could obtain admission on pay­ment of sixpence. 2216 people attended, chiefly of th'e art,isan 'class, a ,large number of whom preferred,to pay for admission. Particulars are annexed in' Sched~l~ B:

25. Mr. :N'ewbery delivcred 12 lectures on Applied Chemistry, which were at~ended by 12 students. I,' 26. Mr. Ulrich delive~'ed24 lectures on the Geology of Mineral Deposits, which were :tttended hj 6 shidents. • 27.

LABORATORIES.

\ 28., In addition to 'the lectures (class and· general) and the institution (lfthe Museum, the Committee has to report upon the ,establishment of I,aboratories for the instruction of class.stndents.

29. There is, in the opinion of the Committee;i;lo branch of the in~titution which i~ more. calclflated to advance ,the progress of Industrial Science th!tn!l't well-considered systelI) of Practical In!ltruction in phemistry. ; I , , " ,.. .,!,'

1. The Committee desire to call attention to English' effort and opinion on the :tdvantages of establishing Museums as a means of public· instruction. ',' ,',', ',' ,,' , 1, , 2. A branch of th~ South Ke~sington Museum ba,8 been reeently ppenc4 in' the City, affording,' to the artisans resident there, sifuiliu' OI)'pOl'tnnitiesbf instruction as are to be liud at South Kensington., ,.

',3. Museums of ' Science and Art are already in existence in Dul)lin and 'Edin'burgh. The.Merchant Company in the Cit,y of Ediul)Urgh wel'eamong the warmest patrons of this Museum, ,thus ~howing the :utilit.'l,rian' character of the institution'; 'while one of. the most recent of such institutions'is 'that ,of Burslem, :iU'Staffordshire, with'its Eco'nomic Museum,l'School of Design, aIid'Fl'ee I,ibrary. ' , I: '4;· Not alone lias the Imperial Government taken a decided lead in the'matt'er, but a volunt!1ry associ a­(tion has' beim 'formed' fOl",the' purpose of founding Public Museul1ls una Fi'ee ·Libraries' 'throughout the iKingd(lm, . :, ,1', , ,I.

(J

5. In the United Kingdom there are many Sch~ols of Science and Art worldng with the South Kensington Museum, thus forming a net~work of industrial instruction, which will in time produce important results. *

6. It is therefore with great satisfaction the Committce have learned that a Museum is to be attached to the School of Mines reeentiyopened in Ballarat, and that the objects of that Institution are to be extended, as they should be, to other branehes of produetive industry.

7. Situated in the midst of an agricultural country of great fertility, there is nothing to prevent, but many reasons to induce, the govel'lling body of that School to establish classes in Agricultural Chemistry and other branehes of knowledge useful to the agriculturist.

8. The Committee need seareely point Ollt how important it is that assoeiations of a friendly charaeter should exist between the School of Mines and Industry at Ballarat and this institution.

9. "While on tbis subjeet the Committee may express their regret that there is so little association between the different Meehanies' Institutions and .Free Libraries in this eountry. They number at present about 80. In Lancashire there are 120 ·Mechanics' Institutions formed into a union, and assoeiated with the Society of Arts in London, all engaged in adult industrial edueation. Some such union might with advantage be established here. ' •

10. The Seetional Committee of the Publie Library have already afforded assistanee by lending books to many of such institutions in this ,eolony. , lJ. The Sectional COD;lmittee of the National Gallery have affoi,<ieq. assisulJ.}eEjin t.he,w~y of eo pies and models for, Schools of Design wherever they exist ;. arid it remains for, this Committee to say, that wherever Museums are established they should be assisted with duplicate"speeimens, and sueh analyses and other information as ean be afforded.

12. The Committee have had under 'their eonsideration the advisability of bolding Annual Sectional Exhibitions here.

13. They have had no hesitation in approving of the eonclusions of the Royal Commissioners of the London Exhjbition of 1851, recently arrived at, and whieh are to govern the first of the Annual Inter­national Exhibitions to be held in London this year. These con elusions are, that speeial exhibitions are of more value th~n general exhibitions; and that, although the latter may be of value as the means of bringing people togethe~, they aet rather in this resp~ct as great faney fairs, than more directly, as it is intended they • should do, on trade and manufactures. . , ., J , ' , •

14. The Committee therefore think that a Yearly Exhibition, eonnected with this Institution, and confined to somE) partieular branch of industry, would be of great val!Je. .

15. With reference to the manufactures likely to be promoted by sucb exhibitions, the Committee may enumerate the following :-

, (1.) Cabinetmakers' ,Work. The extent /lnd beauty {)f raw ma,terial ~t,our disposal in the native woods of the country, and the difficulty of import, make this a braneh or' manufaeture of great import~nce, and one which, by its merit, has of late years assumed large dimensions;

(2.) Earthenware, ineludillgPotterY, TeI;ra Cotta, Bricks, and Tiles, form another branch. When we <?onsider the abmiclitnee and excellence of the Clay,'and the advances made in this manufacture, it is obviously of importance. " , ,. .

(3.) Connected with this is the manufaeture of Glass, not alone useful for the table, but for the dairy, and many other purposes of domestic Hfe" and whieh, from its bulk and fragility, and consequent difficulty of import,. deserves consideration. ' ,

(4.) Tanning and the' preparation of Leather may also be 'mentioned' as riian'ufac'ture~ rapidly increasing.

Superintendent's Report. , ;

To THE. SECTIONAL, Co:r.mITTEE OF THIll INDUSTRIAL AND 'l'ECRNOLOGICAL MUSEUM.

GENTLEMEN,

On the opening of the Museum to the public on the 8th September, it contained a collection of articles, presented by the exhibitors of the Intercolonial Exhibition of 1866, consisting oCsainples of coal, 'bituminous' shale, and lignite, from various localities in New South Wales; Tasmania, New Zealand, and Victoria: kerosene oil, paraffin, and other prouuets from the bituminous mineral of Hartley, New South Wales.

Metallic ores from all the Australian Colonies, New Zealand, and New Caledonia-amongst which are fine collections of copper ores from South !lnd Western Australia, iron ores from New SO!lth Wales, Tasmania, New Zealand, and New Caledonia, argentiferous lead ores, bismuth ore, ~obaH are from South Australia, and ant.imony ores and gold ores from this colony, besides 8 miscellaneous' collection of articles of colonial 'produce or mmlufacture, 'which unfortunately had suffered considerable injury during the time between the closing of the exhibitioh and the opening of the Museum. In addition to the above, the'Museum contained the extensive foreign and local mineral and rock collections of the Mining Department, which had been removed to the bnilding a short time before the opening. .

:::linee that time the following additions have been made to the collections :-

MINERAL COLLECTIONS.

A genernl mineral collection, consisting of about 1000 specimens, lminy of. ,which are unique, such as the manganese nickel, cobalt, silver" and lead ores, and the specimens of' calcite, heavy spar, and the zeolites., AII.the·specimclls hav~ heen

carefully named and arranged in accordance with" Dana's System of Mineralogy," so as to offer every facility to the student, by Mr. George H. F. 'Ulrich, F.G.S. This collection is steadily increasing through the receipt of specimens obtained by exchanges, by donations from persons who are interested in the science, and by purchase, and therefore requires the constant attehti~n of M 1'.1 Ulrich. -I A Victorian collection of Minerals, now including only about 250 specimens, has been named and arranged by Mr Ulrich.

,. This collection is far from perfect, but is receiving almost daily additions, and already contains many very interesting speClmens. ~

. A collection consisting of about 100 specimens of the rocks and minerals found in the diamond district of Mudgee, N.S.W., collected by Mr. Norman Taylor, amongst which are specimens of ferruginous drift, enclosing gem stones, specimens of fossil woo'd from the drifts, and diamonds, rubies, sapphires, garnets, zircons, several varieties of corundum and pleonaste-the latter bein'g peculiar, from its containing chromium, insteud of, as is usual, an oxide of iron.

ROCK COLLECTIONS.

i A collection of the rocks of the colony of Victoria is now being arranged lithologically and stratigraphically, a work reqlliring much time and labour. From the number of specimens now iu the possession of the 1\1 useum, Mr. Ulrich believes that he will be able to make this collection the most comprehensive and ~omplcte one ever made of the rocks of Victoria.

, l!'rom 200 to 300 specimens of the rocks of Ne;'" South Wales and Ncw Zealand, many of them of a very interesting chatacter, have been placed in cases for inspection, and will be arranged and named as early as possible.

, A collection of fossils from this and neighbouring colonies is being made. Several hundred specimens have already been received, chiefly as donations.

lI1ETAI.LURGlCAL COLLECTIONS.

The collections of ores, intended to illustrate the mctallurgical processes in the economic extraction 'of metals, arc in good condition, especially those of gold, lead, copper, tin, antimony, and iron. Their arrangement will be completed when the Museum receives models of furnaces and metallurgical tools. .

, BUILDING MATERIAI.S.

A large collection of building stones from all the Australian colonies is exhibited, together with a collection of limes, ccqents, slates, tiles, bricks, articles in terra-cotta, and other materials used in buildiug, fairly illustrating the produce of the colony.

CLAYS.

Samples of clays from Bulla Bulla, Beechworth, Castlemaine,. l!'ootscray, Hawthorn, Nunawading, 'Wangaratta, and several other Victorian localities, are exhibited as suitable for the manufacture of almost any variety of pottery. A collection of the ;Beechworth clays, showing the great variety which occur in the neighbourhood of that town, has been presented to the Musenm by Mr. E. J. Dunn. ,

i The clay from Nunawading proved upon examination to be of a most refractory variety, and is therefore an excellent firefclay ; it is also plastic, and a fair pottery clay, the colour being nearly white. / :::>

CERAlIITC ART.

, The collection of foreign pottery, china, and porcelain, now in the Museum, was previously in one of the halls of the Public Library.

\ GLASS.

A collection of sand and substances used in the manufacture of glass is being made and arranged in connection with a seri,es of articles illustrating the manufacture of glass at the Victoria l!'lint Glass Works, Hotham.

COLOURS.

Collections of colours and dyes have been obtained from various sources; amongst them is an extensive .collection of aniJine dyes, presented to the Museum by :Mr. Robertson, as samples of those used by him at the dye-house in l.onsdale street.

ANIMAL, SECTION.

In what is termed the Animal Section, are collections of the various useful substances obtained from animals-such as varieties of leather, horns, wool, feathers, gelatine, &c.

I

PHYTOLOGICAL SECTION.

, In the Vegetable Section is an extensive collection of specimens of colonial woods, fibres, barks, and the various substances whieh may be prepared from them; most of them carefully labelled and arranged by Dr. l!'. Von Mueller, C.M.G., by whom a catalogue of the section bas been made.

MAPS AND PLANS.

, A full set of the maps prepared by the latc geological survey has been placed in the Museum by the Mining Department, together with a large number or very instructive maps and plans of mining districts and mines. As far as pos;ible, these maps have been placed on the walls and pillars of the Museum; when the annexes are placed nt my disposal, the remaining maps and dia:grams will be exhibited.

MODELS.

The Museum is in possession of a few models which were previously at the Nationallluseum; these, howevllr, only relate to the extraction of gold from qUllrtz, and only partly illustrate that process.

The' model-maker of the Museum is now engaged making cases, but as soon as those most urgently required have been made, he will proceed with the construction of certain models which are necessary for the proper illustration of mannfacturing processes. Those which will be first constructed will be of glass furnaces, and pottery kilns; the latter will be of much use, as the kilns at present used in the colony are of a very crude variety, and in them it is impossible to produce the finer variety of articles, which our clays are capable of producing. In all,cases the models will be constructed on the largest possible scale, and all measurements accurately given,. so that they may be of the greatest possible",use to the artisan.

CLASS INSTRUC'l'ION •

. The opening of the Museum was followed hy the delivery of class lectures on the geology of mineral deposits, delivered b~ Mr.' G. H. F. Ulrich, on Mondav and Tuesday afternoons from 4.15 to 5.30. The conrse began -on the 3rd of October, and ended on the 16th December. It was attended by 6 pnpils. ~

Class lectures in chemistry were delivered by me on Tuesday evenings at 8 o'clock, during the same period, and were attended by 12 pupils.

, I,aboratories for instruction in analytical chemistry and assaying. were also open daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the same period. and were attended by 6 pupils. ' I

i: The persons attending these courses were, without exception, engagctl during the day-time in various occupations and' professions, which necessitated late hours for the class lectures, and caused irregularity in their attendance at the laooratories. Evening laboratory classes will be held during the ~rst term of 1871, so as to enable those who are fully occupied during the

• day to obtain a knowledge of analytical chemistry, so far as it applies to their daily pursuits.

85

The attendance at the classes wo~ld hav!' been larger if a cert,ificate, or some acknowledgment, of skill or proficiency was given, or a test examination held. A system of this sort will soon be adopted, Thc students now attending are persons employed in business, and are studying only with the view to assist themselves in the following of their daily pursuits.

It is obvious that class teaching in .Mathematics and Mcchanics would, in additio[l to what is already taught, be most desirable, and I hope the Committee will be able to make arrflngements accordingly. If this be so, classes would then be available for full instruction in subjects required by Superintendents of Manufactories and Workshops, Mining Engineers and Managers, aud other persons engaged in pursuits in which a practical knowledge of sC.ience is necessary.

The class of persons who would avail themselves of the instruction so given would he those who, from having daily occupations from which only an occasional hour could be taken during daytime or an odd evening in the week. llre prevented from attending regular University courses of instruction.

My colleague, Mr. Ulrich, is of the same opinion as myself, that if a certificate were obtainable, the classes would be much better attended, and the Institutioll wonld hecome more useful to persons it was especially intended to benefit.

J. COSMO NEWBERY, ~.Sc., Scientific Superintendent.

POSTSCRIPT. I may add that the evening laboratory cl~5ses mentioned in the foregoing report have been inaugurated, and are now

attended by seven persons-there being laboratory accommodation for eight. The progress being made is highly satisfactory. The Tuesday evening chemical class is better attended-eighteen persons having joined. .

REPORT OF ~HE COMMITTEE FOR 1870.

To THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, MUSEUMS, AND NATIONAL GALLERY, OF VICTORIA..

1. The Sectional Committee of the National Gallery have the honour to present the Report of their proceedings for the year IS70. .

2. The Committee, upon their appointment, found that the Gallery of Painting was frequented by a number of persons who were engaged in copying pictures, but who had not the benefit of any artistic supervision of their labors.

3. The Committee, therefore, at once proceeded to consider the interests of the public in this particular, and, in pursuance of a design already entertained by the original Trustees of the Public Library, resolved on the establishment of Schools of' Paintings and Design, presided over by competent masters, and conducted on such principles as to render instruction available to art students at the cheapest possible rate.

4. During the months of April, May, and June, therefore, advertisements were inserted in the daily journals, requesting applicants for the posts of Masters of Painting and Design to communicate with the Committee.

5. For the post of Master of the School of Painting four applications were received. , 6. For the post of Master of the School of Design sixteen applications were received. 7. The Committee recommended to you Mr. Eugen~ Von Guerard for appointment as Master in the

School of Painting, and Mr. Thomas Clark as Master in the School of Design, which recommendations you were pleased to confirm.

S. The Committee then proceeded to draw regulations for the guidance of students, which regulations you were pleased to confirm.

9. In making copies from the pictures in the National Gallery, the Committee thought it advisable (to prevent any attempt to pass off "copies" as "originals") to follow the custom which prevails at the Royal Academy of England, and order that some detail should be omitted, so that no complete copy, o~ any picture should be made. ,

10. During the year IS70 the Humber of students were-In the School of Painting 6 In the School of Design 35

These numbers are satisfactory, and the Committee are gratified at being enabled to report that, although­owing to our scattered population aud the consequent difficulty of making public the objects of the Institution -the facilities offered to students are not as widely known as could be wished, increasing interest is taken by the public in the schools.

II. The School of Design, being of necessity the stepping-sto~e for students who wish to enter the School of Painting, was so crowded that the Committee found it desirable to make an additional room for the evening class by using the gallery that sUlTounds the hall of the Industrial and Technological Museum, and placing there a sufficient number of casts. The attendance of students has amply justified the action of' the Committee in this particular. "

12. The Committee SUbjoin, in Schedule A, a list of the pictures from which copies have been taken. 13. The Committee, on 20th May uno, wrote to the Agent-General, Mr. Herbert, R.A., Mr. Ruskin,

Mr. Forster, and Mr. Cllshel Hoey, requesting them· to undertake the duty of assisting Mr. Thompson in the purchase of pictures and works of art for the gallery.

H. The Committee have much gratification in informing you that favorable replies have been received from these gentlemen, and that the Committee and the public will, in future, have the benefit of their advice in the' purchase of pictures and works of art. ~

15. Copies of this correspondence are annexed (Schedule B). 16. Finding that the collection of casts handed over to their care by the original Trustees of the

Library might with propriety be enriched by the addition of busts of some of the most noted personages of modern times, the Committee wrote to the Directors of the Crystal Palace (whose collection, made with great care and cost, is, of course, familial' to you), enclosing to them a list of names of eminent men whose busts they desired to possess.

, 17. A copy of this list is annexed (Schedule C). IS. A correspondence accordingly was opened with the Agent.General and Mr. Cashel Hoey,

requesting them to communicate with the Directors of the Crystal Palace; and replies have been received which give the Committee reason to believe that they can obtain without great difficulty the major portion of the busts named in the list.

19. Copies of this correspondence are annexed (Schedule B).

90

20.1 Several applications j:llwing been made to them, by ,literary and artistic institutions in and around Melbourne, for the 10Hn of photographs, engravings, and photo-lithographs, the Committee decided to establish 'f a Lending Portfolio," containing a selected series of duplicates of photographs, engravinO's, &c., which could be sent to such societies upon special application. ' '"

presented to the gallery. " , 25.i Details_of these loans and presentations are annexed (Schedule F).

26., The Committee have also the honour to report, that, 4esiring to encourage nativc talent, aHcl following ~e custom prevailing in England, which permits the Royal Academy to hold its exhibitions in a wing of the National Gallery, they rQ(,Jommended that the use of the Carriage Annexe be granted to the members ~f the Victorian Academy, of Art, to hold an Exl,libition of Painting, which recommendation being supported py the Industrial and Technological Committee, who had control of the annexe, you were pleased to confirm.,

27': D~ri.ng,·the yea~1870 the Oommittee. expended, in fl:aming of pictures and ne:~ssary, r"epairs, £98 3s., and III InCidental expenses, £ll6 18s. '

, 28. Full particulars of this expenditure are,attached in Schedule G. . 29. The Committee has in"cou('lusion the honour to report that at the close of ,the year 1870 there

were in th¢ gallery-Oil paintings 48 Water colours 22 Engravings "', 60 Photograp):ts, lithographs, drawings, and etchings ,813

I Statues and busts 151, 3D.! These are fully eriumerated in the Report of the General Body of Trustees. ." 3U The total number of letters receivecl by the Committee during the past six months was 147; the

total number despatched, 209. ' 32.1 In presenting to you this Report, the Committee desire to express their regret at the withdrawal

of Mr. Mo1:ttefiore, :,"ho, during the period of time which the Report embraces, rcndered valuable assistance in the de~iberations' of the Committee, that gentleman having, as you are aware, left the colony, and, in 'consequence, resigned his positioll as a Trustee of tho Institution. The Committee, however, aregl(td to be able to inform you that Mr. Montefiore has consenteu to act for them in Sydney whenever he can be of any service to the Institution. ' , 33,: The Committee regret to say that some of the pictures in the gallery have'suffered perceptible

injury £l'om smolw drifting in trom the chimneY,of the Melbourne Hospital. The original Trustees long ago remonstrated with the Committee of the Hospital; but elicited 110 reply. The Committee of the N\Ltional Gallery have recently renewed the remonstrance, but with 110 bet.ter effect; and they recommend to the Trustees to consider what measures can be employed to compel the Committee or Trustees of the Hospital to abate this nuisance. '

34. The Committee at the same time desire to impress upon the Trustees the necessity of completing the buildi~g intended for a National Gtl11ery. The pictures in the present gallery are not merely liable to the injury,! specified, but are suffering from dust and uncertain temperature, and many of them cannot be hung to advantl\ge with the present limited and defective accommoclation.

35.! The :Committec' look forward wit.h great confidence to the prospects of the comipg year, when 'the assistahce of the distinguished artists and art-critics who have promised their co-operation will, they are persuaded; enable them to make valuable additions to the national collection:

Oorre8pondence with respeot to the Purcl~ase qf Pictures in Europe. I.-CRA-UlMAN TO MR. JOHN FORSTER.

Sm, Melbourne, 20th May 1870. I am instructed by the Committee of the National Gallery of Victoria to request that you will be good enough to aid

them, by your knowledge of artists and works of modern art, in selecting pictures for our collection. A sum of about £8000 has already been spent ott pictures and casts, and Parliament grants £1000 annually for the same purpose.

In the letter to Mr. Ruskin, which accompanies this, you will find an exact statement of our wishes and intentions. In the first instance, I.only meant to request that you would take charge of that letter and Mr. Ruskin's reply; but the Committee agree with me in thinking that your cultivated taste, and your relations with the best artists at home, would enable you to be of great use to us if we could induce you to take an interest in our work.

The only claim the Committee have upon you is, that we are laboring for objects to which so much of your own life has been given.

Be good enough to send Mr. Ruskin's reply, and your own, to the Agent-General of this colony, Han. George Verdon, C.R, Victoria Chambers, Victoria street, Westminster, who has been requested to take measures to obtain your advice !lJld aid, from time to time, with as little trouble ,to you as possible.

. . I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, I

To John Forster, Esq. C. GAVAN DUFFY, Chairman.

Ir.-CHAInMAN TO MR. J OUN RUSKIN. SIR, Melbourne, 20th May 1870.

The Trustees of thc National Gallery of the Colony of Victoria venture to rely upon your devotion to art as their excuse for asking your advice and aid under the circumstances in which they find themselves placed.

The Parliament of this colony has expended £8000 upon forming a Gallery of Art, and propose to spend £1000 a ycar for the future, in makin'g additions to the collection.

With so small an annual grant at their disposal, and living so far from the schools of modern art, the Trustees are embarrassed by the difficulty of purchasing pictures-which must not be too few', or their collection will be insignificant; and yet which ought to be genuine works of art, as the taste of a large comnlunity will be mainly formed on them.

In their first purchases Sir Charles Eastlakc was good enough to' advise the agent of the colony on the works to be selected, and the price proper to be paid. , .

Since his death, Mr. Thomson, an Australian gentleman who devotes his leisure to art studies, has acted on their behalf. But the Trustees feel bound to replace, if !los sible, Sir Charles Eastlake by some artist or art-critic whose taste and judgment are beyond controversy; and they bave come to the determination of asking Mr. Herbert, R.A., and yourself, whether, for the sake of the multitude of your countrymen in these Australian colonies, you would be good enough to advise their representatives in London on the purchases which they ought to make in English and Continental Exhibitions.

Our excuse for desiring to impose the task upon you is our complete reliance upon your judgment, and the belief that you will necessarily visit tbe exhibitions from which purchases must be madc, and can aid us without incurring much additional labour. '

That you may know our exact position, I enclose a catalogue of our present collection of pictures, with the price paid for them.' ,

We have also a Gallery of Casts from the antique, but as it is not proposed at present to make any additions to it, I do not trouble you on that subject. '

I have sent this letter through the hands of my friend Mr. Forster, as my name and the names of my co-Ttustees may be unknown to you. .

Should you be pleased to aid us, measures will be immediately taken by our representatives in London to obtain yonr advice and guidance with the least ,possible trouble to you.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,

To John Ruskin, Esq., LL,D. C. GAVAN Dill'FY, Chairman.

III.-CHAllUIA...'X TO MR. CABHEL HOEY. SIR, , Melbourne, 20th May 1870.

I am instructed by the Committee of the National Gallery ~f Victoria to request your aid in enabling them to obtain the advice and assistance of some .leading artists at home in the choice of pictures for our collection,

The accompanyin'g letter to Mr. Herbert will explain the object we have in view. I am not mistaken, I think, in assuming that Mr. Herbert is among your personal friends; and I trust you will be good enough to see him, and induce him to give us his assistance.

Mr. John Forster has been requested to communicate in the same manner with Mr. Ruskin. Please to give Mr. Herbert's answer to Mr. Verdon; and in case of Mr. Herbert's refusal to aid us, I will thank you to

ponsult him liS to any 9t~er IH-'tiat/ of tbe sa.m,e r~nk ~nd rerutll,tion in bis rrofesll~on, wbom rou !X)uld interest ~,t4is Qbjeot,

92

The Committee are anxious to obtain either a scale drawing or a small model of the pedestal supporting the busts on the Pi*ian Hill, which is singularly euitable and effective. As you have friends resident in Rome, perhaps you could procure one or the other for us. .

If you will be good enough to do so, Mr. Verdoll will be requested to defray the neeessary expenses. May I further ask you to ascertain from the Directors cif the Crystal Palace Company whether duplicates of their

collectibn of busts (or any of them) are for sale; and, generally, what objects in their collection they would be willing to sell foria Gallery and Museum at the other end of the world, which cannot enter into competition with them.

¥r. Verdon will show you a copy of the correspondence with respect to thc National Gallery which goes,home by this mail, and I trust you will be willing to aid us so far as you can without interfering with your personal duties and engagements. .

! I am, Sir, Your obedient servant,

Cashel,Hoey, Esq., K.M. I C. GAVAN DUFFY, Cbairman.

I , - IV.-CHAlRMAN TO MR. HERBERT, RA. DEAR l:fR. HERBERT, Melbourne, 20th May 1870.

So many years have passed since I was accustomed to meet you at the house of our late friend, Frederick Lucas, that I may safely assume you have forgotten me'; but, as my present appeal to you is in the interest of art,. that will, I trust, be of no consequence. ,

',rhe Government of this Colony have spent ,£8000 in founding a Gallery of Pictures and Casts, and will vote £1000 a year for making additions to it, To spend·this small sum to the best advantagq 011 pictures of real merit, fit to form the taste of a community which' will sec no other works of art, is a great difficulty to men living so far from the existing schools of art, lllld having to act through agents,

In the earliest purchases, Sir Charles Eastlake was good enough to advise the gentlemen acting for the colony. Since his death we have relied upon an amateur, Mr. Thomson, who has lived a great part of his in Australia, But the Truste~s of our national gallery are very anxious to induce It great artist, and a competent critic art, to guide their future choice; and they have resolved to request you and Mr. Ruskip, for the sake of the mnltitude of your countrymen living in these Australian colonies, to do us this favour.

'Ve trust that only slight labour would be imposed npon you by noting, on the catalogue of such exhibitions as you may viSit, pictures which, from the subject, execution. and price, would be suitable for our purpose,

'Ve will take measures, through friends in London, that your advice may be obtained and acted upon with the least possible .trouble to you.

I send you a list of our present collection of pictures, and the prices paid for them, that you may know what has been done, and what most urgently needs to be done in adding to j,hil Gallery. .

I was very much struck by hearing YOll say, many years ago, that one of your own pictures was so well copied that you were uncertain at first whether it was a copy or a replica. If you know any young artist capable of making such copies now, I would ask you to tell me at what price he would make a copy on canvas of the fresco of "Lear and Cordelia" in the New Palace of W estminstcr. '

I have asked my friend Mr. Cashel Hoey to take charge of thi~ letter, and ascertain whether we may hope for your assistance.

Believe me, my dear Mr, Herbert, Very faithfully yours,

To J. R Herbert, Esq" RA. C. GAVAN DUFFY, Chairman. P.8.-You will observe by our catalogue that our collection consists in a large degree of landscapes, so that there is

a deficiency in figure subjects.

V.-CHAIRMAN TO MR. A. T. TrrOMSON. Sm, Melbourne, 20th May 1870.

, :The Sectional Committee of the Trustees of the Public Library, National Gallery" and Museums of Victoria, who are charged with the future cftre of the National Gallery, have instructed me to write to you on their pebal£.

IThey desire to acknowledge the important aid you have hitherto given in forming the Gallery, and they rejoice to believe that they may still count upon your valuable assistance, . .

lAs the death of Sir Charles Eastlake has deprived them and you of the advice of an artist of cultivated taste and judgment, the Committee have addressed themselves to Mr. Herbert, RA., and Mr. Huskin, requesting them, in the interest of art,'to be good enougb to suggest, from time to time, such pictures in the English~and Foreign Exhibitions as they may deem ~,uitable to our Gallery, and within the scope of our limited funds.

, .~ catalogue of our present collection has been sent to them, and the annual vote upon which we can rely stated for their information, These gentlemen have been addressed through Mr. Forster and Mr. Cashel Hoey, upon whom we count for ob£aining their consent. If they will act Mr. Verdon has been requested to bring them and you into communication, as the Committee desire to regard you as the representative in Londoll of the Trustees, as you have hitherto been .

VI.-CHAIRnUN TO AGENT-GENERAL. SIR, . Melbourne, 20th May 1870.

By direction of the Committee of the National Gallery, I transmit to you a copy of correspondence sent home by tbis mail on the subject of the future purchase of pictures. ~

Witb the consent of the Chief Secretary, the Committee desire to avail themselves of your friendly aid in bringing ,the ne~ arrangement into working order. .

You will perceive that they have invited the assistance of Mr. Herbert, RA., and Mr. Ruskin, in selecting suitable pictures, and requested that their answers might be sent to you. .

"Mr. Ruskin has been addressed through Mr. Forster, the Commissioner of Lunacy, who will be better known to you as the. author of " Statesmen of the Commonwealth," and Mr. Herbert through Mr. Cashel Hoey.

(rhe Committee suggest for your consideration the propriety of inviting all these gentlemen, or such of them as signify their consent to act, to meet in the first instance with Mr. Thomson at the Office of the Victorian Agency, when they could come to an understanding as to ~he best method of proceeding. Of course it is only by making their task easy that we can hope to obtain their assistance; an object in which we ate assured you will be as much interested as we are.

~. The Committee trust that not only in your character of Agent-General"but as a colonist familiar with the National Gallery and its kindred institutions, you will take an active interest in their labours.

T am, Sir, , Your obedient servant,

C. GAVAN DUFFY, Cbairman. To th~ Agent-General.

VII.-AoENT-GENEIIAL TO CHAIlIlIAN. 8 Victoria Chambers, Victoria street, 'Westminster, S.W.,

Sm, 15th July 18iO. I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th May last, It will give me much pleasur" to be as useful as I can in carrying out the views of the Committee of the National

Ganer~s soon as answers bave been received from Mr. Ruskin and Mr. Herbert, intimating their willingness to 'let, I will invite them and Mr. 'fhomson to meet me at this office, and r will endeavour to make their duties as easy as I eRn by relieving them of any part of the work that may be irksome, so that they will merely have to select the pictures they deem most suitable within the means submitted to me for the purpose,

I have the, honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant,

To the Hon. Gavan Duffy. GEORGE VERDON, Agent.G~neral.

VIII.-Mll.. A. T, TI{02l<ISON, TO CiiAIRlIAN. 49 Gloucester Terraee, Hyde Park,

SIR, _ London, 15th July 1870. I beg to acknowledge the reeeipt of your letter of loth :Nby, and to thank you for the very handsome terms in which

you are good enough to allude to the trilling assistance which I have been able to render to the Trustees of the Public Library. I hope that the application which the Committee has addressed to Messrs. Herbert and Ruskin may be successful. If these gentleman can be induced to act together, their great ability, judgment, experience, anu infiuence, will be an ample guarantee to the colony for the judicious expenditure of-the.funds voted for the promotion of the Fine Arts.

In this case my co-operation will be quite superliuous-indeed it would be an incumbrance to them, increasing the correspondence and impeding action when promptitude may be indispensable to success; so that I feel I shall best serve the interests of art in the colony by leaving those eminent men to the unfettered exercise of their own judgment. If, however, only one of them accepts your invitation, I shall be very happy to act with him.

I placed myself in communication with Mr. Arthur Tooth, who holds the copyright of "Rotterdam." He deelines to grant permission to copy the pictnre, excepting on condition of purchasing the copyright for the sum of £50, which was the abatement he made ill the price, in consideration of retaining it in his own hands, ,

I fear that the means now at the disposal of the Committee will ~ot suffice to purchase a really fine picture by Hosa Bonheur, and I presume that you desire to have nothing less than an important example of any painting.

I am not awa.re that there is any Belgian artist of the name of " Geeliet," but it occurs to me that the transcriber may have mistaken the name, and that" Gallait" is the artist alluded to, If I am right in this,conjecture, I may state that, despite the almost invariable unpleasantness of his subjects, the price which his works command are quite as high as those of Rosa Bonheur, He is now advanced in years, and, as a natural consequence, his late prodUctions are few and declining in merit, He has been engaged in the last few years upon portraits of the present King and Queen of the Belgians, which are not yet completed.

Owing to the very high prices which !ire commanded by artists who are well known to fame, I have confined myself to the works of young and rising men whose reputations are not yet established, as their works are obtainable at a moderate cost, and will probably increase in value,

Pray accept my best thanks for the tabular series for the schools of Venice, Genoa, and Lombardy, in continuation of the old Italian schools, which were so kindly forwarded to me by Sir Redmond Barry,.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,

To the Hon. Gavan Duffy. ALJJ'RED T. THOMSON.

IX.-CUAIII1IUN TO DIRECTORY OF CIIYSTAL PALACE. • GENTLEMEN, Melbourne, 8th September 18iO,

I have the honour to inform you that the Trustees of the ahove institution, established by the Victorian Government for some years, are desirous of adding to their collection of Busts of eminent persons, a list of which I have the honour to enclose.

You will observe that, though the collection is rich in antiquities, very many modern busts are wanting; and remembering the excellent collection in the Crystal Palace, the Trustees do, themselves the honour to write to you as Directors of,that institution, and request your assistance in obtaining the desired additions to the Vietorian GaUery,

The busts which the Trustees are anxious to obtain arc specified iii the enclosed list (Schedule C), and they would wish to learn from you how to procure casts of them.

It is possible that the Directory of the Crystall'alace may have duplicates of many of these works, and the Trustees would be glad to purchase such duplicates at a price to be agreed upon,

,I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your'most obedient servant,

To the Directory, Crystal Palace, Sydenham. C. GAVAN DUFFY, Chairman.

X.-CHAIR)IAN TO MR. CASHEL HOEl". RIll, Melbourne, lOth September 1870.

Referriog to my letter of the 4th of May last, in which I requested you to be good enough to eommunicate with the Directory of the Crystal Palace Company concerning the purchase of Busts, &c., I take this opportunity to enclose to you a letter directed to that body, and containing a list of the busts and portraits we are desirous to procure.

You will add to the obligation I am already under towards you, if you will kindly present the letter in qUestion, and transmit to me the reply of the Direetory,

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant,

To Cashel Hoey, Esq" KM. C. GAVAN DUFFY, Chairman.

n.-CHAIRMAN TO AOENT·GEh"ElIAt. SIR, ' Melbourne, 1st October 1870.

I have to thank you very much, on behalf of the Committee of the National Gallery, for your letter of the 15th July, promising effective assistance in our task,

. As the Committee have received assuranees of advice and assistance on future purchases of pictures from Mr. Herbert, RA., Mr. Ruskin, and Mr. John Forster,'" they think it a proper precaution, and a reasonable courtesy to each of those gentlemen, to determine that the advice and assent of one of them will be necessary to authorise any future purchase of a picture.

Mr, Thomson, who has taken'SO much trouble hitherto on behalf of the Gallery, has stated his readiness to co-operate with the artist or critic who might consent to act; and he no doubt feels tnat since the death of Sir Qharies Eastlake he has had an undue amount of responsibility in making purchases without the guidance of an artist.

You will be pleased, therefore, to require a certificate from one of those gentlemen named, before paying for any picture for the future, unless you personally know that it has been so sanctioned.

* Personal replies, not comblg under head of officlal colTespondence, were received by tlle Chairmall.

94

I have furtper the honour to inform you tliat the Committee has decided herewith to withdraw the authority for the paymeht of travelling expenses to Mr. Summers, lodged with you by the Trustees of the Public Library before incorporation of the institution. . '

~ sum of £,100 has been assignerl by the Committee for the purchase of pictures, and will be transmitted to you throug!l the Hon. the Chief Secretary, in the usual course, by the outgoing mail. .

This sl1m would ha\'e been sent to yot! by the September mail, but the letter of advice to the Hon. the Chief Secretary, in the 'u.sual course, arrived too btc for transmission through the department. . . . , .. "

:rhe Committee, on the motion of Mr. Monteflora, have determined to authorise that gentleman to' request Mr. Chevalier to suggest to you any work of art which he considers ought to be bought for our Gallery. If he gives ,us his assistance in tbis respect, as we trust he will, the previous rule as to the sanction of one of the gentlemen abovc-pamed will of cOUl~se apply.

As there is a.considerable sum available for the pnrellll.se of works of art other than pictures, the Committee, by last mail, wrote to,the Directory of tIle Crystal Palace with respect to the purchase of Busts, and entrusted the letters to Mr. CashalHoey, who will inform you of their answer.

, Fhavc the honour to be, Sir, ' Your obedient servant,

To the Agent-General. C. GAVAN DUFFY, Chairman.

XII.-MR. CASHEL HOEY TO CHAIll~fAN. 17 Camden Hill Road,

SIll, I , , Kensington, 30th December 1870. I have already informally apprised you, in reply to of the 30th May, that on its receipt I at once waited on Mr.

Herber,t, R.A., who instantly assured me that he would his willing help to the work of the Committee. Mr. Ruskin was at Ithe moment absent from London, but I saw him within a few days, and from him also I received the assurance of any assistance he could give, Both Mr. Herbert and Mr, I JUay atld, expressed iu strong terms their admiration of the pulilie spirit of the colony in founding so soon an institution wisely directed, may exercise so elevating and lasting =~~.' .

At this date-the eommenc('ment of the autumn vacation-it was not possible or necessary'to do more. The Exhibitions had closed; artists had very generally gone ont of town Mr. Herbert was leaving for a time. 'I had arranged, at Mr: J~uskin's desire, thM they should meet to have some on the subject in the course of September, but it was understood that no practical step couhl be taken before the beginning of the new year.

I called on lVIr. Herbert last month, and found tlmt he had not.yet heurd from Mr. Ruskin. Mr. Ruskin forgot; as you will see by his letters which I enclose, that he \I'3S to hear from the date of this appointment. I wrotc to him, but only receive'd his reply two days ago. Unfortunately, I lIal'e 110t been able to sec Mr. Herbert since, but I propose to cal] on him onlthe first, and will then arrange first for a rneet,ing between him and Mr. Ruskin, and then for a meeting at the office of the ~gent-General, to which Mr. :I!'orster and Mr, TllOlllson may also be invited, Let me say here that I have received every ~ssistance and facility it was .in his power to give me from Mr. Verdon, who, I need not tell you, takes an earnest and enlightened interest in your design. I hope to he able to report to yon 'by the next mail that arrangements to dispose of the fund to good advantage for the coming year have heen settled,"

There has been a mistake as to your communication regttrding the Crystu 1 Palace. On the'receipt,of your letter of • the, 5tJi Sep.tember, which, however, clid not reach me until tIle loth of ~ovelllber, IcommuniC(lted with .• Mr. ,Grove, the

Seereta:ry of the Palace.Company. He informed me that he had not then receil'cd auy letter or list of the nature referred to. I again wrote to him On the arrh'al of the mail· of' tllis month, ttnd I enclose his reply with a later note I have had from him. I have since seen Brucciani .the forma/ore. according ,to Mr. Grove's suggestion, 1 find he can supply a con­siderahle n1lmber of the casts you require, and I httv€ little doubt, from the warm good-will express,!d in Mr. G~ove's letters, that we shall be able to get copies of those lor which the permission of the Directors of the Crystal Palace may be required. r havel arranged, with Mr. Brucciani to make a proposal as to what he can do towards supplying your list, and I then proposl to see Mr, Grove as to those which are exclusively Crystal Palace property.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM

TO

PUBLIC LIBRARY, MUSEU~IS; AND NATIONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA,

FOB THE YEAR

1870-1.

No. 13. G

NATIONAL MUSEUM.

g,tttional .. €ommittu: Rev. J. I. BLEASDALE, D.D. (Chairman). I JOHN BADCOCK, Esq. Hon. T. H. FELLOWS. C. E. BRIGHT, Esq. Hon. S.H. BINDON.

REPORT OF THE COlHIITTEE FOR 1870.

To THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, MUSEDlS, .AND NATIONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA..

1. The Seetional Committee of the National Museum have the honour to present their Report for the year 1870.

2. The edifice, situate near the University, in whic~ the Museum is kept, is in a state of good repair, as are the offices and outbuildings.

3. The primary object proposed by the Committee is to render the National Museum a. collection illustrative of Zoology and Palreontology. The progress hitherto made in this direction is at once creditable to the liberality of the coiony which supplied the funds, and to the zeal and perseverance of the learned Direetor, Professor McCoy. '

4. The Committee, while expressing their high opinion of the zeal and ability of the Director, and their admiration of the beauty of the eollection, think it desirable that its utilitarian character should not be lost sight of. The Committee think, therefore, that the want of information among the public in reference to the edible fish along our eoast is a matter of regret, and that a catalogue of such fish shquld be prepared­not as a eOlI!plete ichtl1yological catalogue, but as the commenccment of one.

o. The Committee notiee with regret that the once pr::>Iific oyster-beds along the Vietorian shores have been exhausted, and that the colony is left solely to Sydney and Port Lincoln for a supply; and remem­bering what science has done in France for the restoration of her oyster-beds, the Committee consider it desirable th!,t scientific attention should be directed to this s'lbject, and that analyses of the silt of different oyster-bed,. in Europe should be procured for comparison with the shore supposed suitable for artificial oyster-beds here. .

6. While the Committee believe that no collection of Natural History is complete without a series of skeletons, and recognize the care of Professor McCoy in that direction, they rememb,er how freely money has been voted for the purpose of the Museum, and think that, not only in the interests of science, but !llso of the agricultural classes, it would be desirable to commenee a veterinary collection exhibiting the diseases affecting the bones of animals, thus extending the eollection in a utilitarian direetion.

7. Besides the objects already exhibited, there are still very large and valuable eolleetions stowed away, all of whieh need to be displayed, and not a few of which are in danger of being injured by remaining in their present condition.

8. With a view to provide aceommodation for some portion of these, at least, the Seetional Committee have often recommended to the main. body of Trustees the urgent desirability of having the mining models and some other objects, now occupying much floor space, removed to the Industrial and Teehnological Museum,'where they would be more accessible to the public would be much enhanced, and where they would add to the means of illustrating lectures on Praetical Mining and Metallurgy. Had these been already removed, as reeommended to the Governor in Council by the Trustees, the space now occupied by them would have been available for displaying a considerable number of cases of objects, in their present state useless to the public, and probably exposed to injury.

9. The, Committee eonsider it desirable that a correet catalogue of objects in the National Museum should be gradually prepared and published, bringing the information down to the end of 1870. In the meantime, seeing that the preparation of such a catalogue will occupy much time, they eonsider it iii matter of urgent importance that such records as exist should be printed in an ine:;!::pensive form, and disposed of as cheaply as possible to visitors and the public. Moreovel', they al'e of opinion that any prepared matter forming what is known as the "Decades" should be published for general information.

10. As to the important subject of economy, the Seetional Committee, at the close of 1870, confined the expediture for the present to the lowest sum consistent with maintaining the Institution in its present

. efficiency; for it appeared undesirable to largely increase any portion of the eollections so long as there was not adequate space for display. A small sum was, however, gra:t;lted for the purchase of sueh few rare. specimens as might be offered, in order to fill up gaps in the Scientific Series.

[COpy.] Certificate of the Commissioners <if Audit.

No. 868. We certify that we ha.ve examined the accompanying nccount of the income and expenditure of the Public Library,

Musenms, and National Gallery of Victoria; and we find the same to be correct, subject to the following remarks ;_ 1. The amount, though purporting to be to the 81st December 1870, embraces certain expenditure of 1870 to

16th May 1871. . , 2. We do not think that the Scientific Superintendent of the Technological Museum is sufficiently authorized to receive

students' fees. The Appropriation Act specially provides that the Instructor in Painting and Master of School of Art, and the Instructor and Master in the School of Design shall receive fees in addition to their salaries; but no mention is made of fees for the Scientific Superintendent.

S. The Regnlations under Division 4 of Section 6, of the Act 38 Vict. No. 857, for determining, among other things, the fees to be paid by students, have not been published in the Government Gazette as having been approved by the Governor in Council.
