Application has been made for provincial and municipal aid in further- 
ance of this desirable aim, and hopes are indulged that it may yet be 
forthcoming. 
The additions made to the Museum, National Gallery, and Library 
during the year, were: 
To the Museum:— 
50 Canadian Antiquities. 
60 Indian Antiquities. 
50 Foreign Antiquities. 
40 Specimens Paper Money. 
20 Coins and Medals. 
To the National Gallery:— 
45 Canadian Portraits (2 oil, 1 miniature, 30 engraved, 12 enlarged 
photographs). 
25 Canadian Scenery (1 oil, 1 water, 20 engravings, 3 photographs). 
To the Library:— 
460 Canadian Books. 
450 Canadian Pamphlets. 
160 Canadian Documents and Manuscripts. 
275 Other Books. 
150 Other Pamplets. 
280 Newspapers. 
A grand total of over 2,000 items. 
Among the more notable additions may be cited:— 
A carved altar piece from the old Notre Dame Church. 
An iron knee from the King’s ship, L’Orignal, wrecked in launch- 
ing at Quebec in 1758—a fine piece of early Canadian iron-work, 
wrought by hand. 
The old relief panels from the restored Nelson Monument. 
The De Boucherville Manuscript before mentioned. 
Thanks to the liberality of a few friends, specially subscribing for 
the purpose, repairs urgently needed were made to the fagade of the 
Chateau, and it now at least presents an “unbroken front” to the passer- 
by, but very much more remains to be done did finances only permit. 
The grounds were also much improved by levelling, turfing, laying 
out a gravelled drive-way, and planting trees. They are further 
adorned by the mounting on a platform of the large cannon recovered 
from the wreck of the French frigate, La Prudente, sunk in Louisbourg 
Harbour, in 1758, presented by Messrs. H. R. Ives & Co., for which 
the Government furnished a carriage.
