two large and scarce Prints of Whitby Abbey ; and 

 Dr. Taylerson a View of Whitby on the east side of 

 the river entrance as it appeared in 1 785 ; in this way 

 intimating that a public museum is a fitting repository 

 for old views, maps, books, and so forth, which have 

 a special reference to the town and neighbourhood 

 wherein that museum is formed. Many a curious 

 item of the above description has already been pre- 

 served ; and as a further hint to our frends in this 

 part and elsewhere, many more of a similar kind 

 might be added to the collection. 



The visitor's admission money for the past twelve- 

 month amounts to £6 10s.
