47 GEORGII III. REGIS. 
An Act to enable the Trustees of the British 
Museum to exchange, sell, or dispose of such 
Parts of the Collection, and under such 
Restrictions, as are therein specified. 
Whereas amongst the several Collections and 
Additions thereto, which, from Time to Time, 
have been and may be placed in the British 
Museum, there now are, and hereafter may 
happen to be, some Articles which are unfit to 
be preserved therein : and it would be beneficial 
for the said Institution, that the Trustees thereof 
should have Power to select and dispose of such 
Articles either by Way of Exchange or Sale, so 
that such Articles, or the Produce thereof, be 
applied in obtaining other Things, which may 
be wanting in, or proper for the said Museum : 
May it therefore please Your Majesty, that it 
may be enacted, and be it enacted by the King's 
most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice 
and Consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, 
and Commons, in this present Parliament as-
