62, ART GALLERY. 
A satisfactory commencement has also been made in the 
conservation of the Roscoe Collection, in pursuance of the 
agreement with the Trustees of the Royal Institution, which enabled 
the Art and Exhibitions Sub-Committee so to deal with them; they 
giving an undertaking to spend not less than £100 per year for ten | 
years for that purpose. As this work was only commenced in the 
autumn, the first £100 was not exhausted during the financial year, 
but nine pictures were very satisfactorily cleaned, their frames 
regilded, and plate glass supplied where necessary, at a cost of 
£43 5s. All the work was done to the satisfaction of Mr. Edgar 
Browne, as representing the Trustees. 
Since the beginning of 1909 further steady progress has been made 
both in regard to the Roscoe Collection and the Permanent 
Collection. By resolution of 14th December, D. G. Rossetti’s 
‘*Dante’s Dream” was sent to be relined at the National Gallery, 
by kind permission of the Trustees and Director. 
The following additions to the Permanent Collection were made 
during the year: —
