GENERAL REPORT. 



Library, Art Gallery and Museum — form a most valuable asset of 

 tbe Corporation, which cannot be estimated at less than £800,000 

 or £1,000,000, and that they are to a very large extent the gifts of 

 oil]- generous citizens, this further expenditure of money now- 

 required is neither extravagant nor unreasonable. 



Mr. Dyall, the Curator of the Art Cxalleiy, has retired after twenty- 

 seven years' service. Liverpool owes to him a deep debt of gratitude 

 for his earnest and successful labours in building up the Permanent 

 Collection of Pictures, and in establishing the Autumn Exhibitions, 

 which now hold such a high position in the esteem of the art world. 



AVILLIAM B. FORWOOD, 



Chairman.
