HANIGAULT HALL 



The wing in which this hall is situated was de- 

 stroyed by the earthquake of 1886. When rebuilt 

 it was under the personal supervision of Dr. Mani- 

 gault, and this floor was designed specifically for mu- 

 seum purposes. The difference in the results is too 

 marked to need comment. The new hall was de- 

 voted to man and his works, and a beginning was 

 made toward a collection of objects of archaeology and 

 art. Here also a beginning was made by the former 

 Curator in the system of descriptive labels and illus- 

 tration, which will be continued by the present Cura- 

 tor. The presence of such labels here will lessen the 

 need of the Guide in this department, though here, 

 as much or more than in the other departments, the 

 material by its suggestiveness could be made the sub- 

 ject of volumes of description and history. 



At the left of the door hangs a portrait of Dr. 

 Manigault, after whom the hall is named. Then come 

 cases showing the prehistorical archaeology of South 

 Carolina and America, and material illustrating the 

 ethnology of races. At present this material lacks 

 arrangement; its description will therefore be de- 

 ferred to later editions of the Guide-
