; These additions, so far as acquired by purchase, were bought 
with the funds of the Autumn Exhibition; no money from the 
rates having for many years been expended in the purchase of 
- works of art for the Permanent Collection. 
_ The purchases of 1910, as regards contemporary art, have been 
made with the design, so far as funds permitted, to acquire 
examples of various art tendencies, and of different mediums and 
_ styles. 
r The Committee have also, from the exhibition fund, bought one 
bronze statuette, four oil paintings, one miniature, and a collection 
of drawings and sketches by deceased painters, chiefly with the 
_ object of enriching our collection of works by local artists: a most 
important duty of every provincial art gallery, but one for which 
no money is specially provided in Liverpool. The Committee have 
been fortunate in finding their efforts in this direction generously 
seconded by donors; and, during 1910, the total additions in this 
‘section numbered 10 paintings in oil, 1 in_ water-colour, 
1 miniature, 1 etching, two sets of drawings and sketches, 
_ numbering respectively 62 and 152 examples, and two bronzes.
