HP HE Museum and Art Gallery has suffered a 

 grievous loss in the death of Lady Smyth, of 

 Ashton Court, on November 23rd. Lady Smyth 

 for many years maintained a keen interest in the 

 Museum and Art Gallery, whilst her benefactions 

 of money and of the collections brought together 

 by the late Sir Greville Smyth, Bart., made 

 her one of the City's greatest debtors. 



It is pleasing to know that her generosity and 

 kindliness of heart are permanently recorded in the 

 name of the " Dame Emily Smyth " Room, and 

 that the value and usefulness of the collections 

 which she gave, and caused to be brought together, 

 will increase with the passing years. 



The Committee can testify how deeply Lady 

 Smyth took pleasure in, and valued the opportunity 

 of brightening the lives of others, especially the 

 young people.
