 THE 

 MUSEUMS OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND. 



The following particulars of our Northern Museums have been extracted from the 

 Report which has been prepared by the Provincial Museums Committee of the 

 British Association, and cannot fail to be extremely valuable to our readers, 

 who can thus know in the towns specified the locality and special character of the 

 museum, and further, which is highly important to collectors, those museums 

 possessing duplicates for exchange. The museums are also classified, and in doing 

 so the superficial area of the rooms, the size and character of the collections, the 

 annual cost, the staff, and the number of visitors were taken into consideration. 

 Annexed is a list of collections of special or local interest, with the museums 

 in which they are preserved.
