to the accommodation of the public. According 
to the present regulations, the Museum is open 
for public inspection, on the Monday, Wednes¬ 
day, and Friday, in every week (the usual vaca¬ 
tions excepted*), from ten till four o’clock, and 
all persons of decent appearance who apply be¬ 
tween the hours often and two, are immediately 
admitted, and may tarry in the apartments, or 
the gallery of antiquities, without any limitation 
of time, except the shutting of the House at 
four o’clock. Artists who are properly recom¬ 
mended, especially by a professor of the Royal 
Academy, are also allowed to draw from the 
Antique Marbles, or any other objects on which 
they may choose to exercise their skill. In 
‘general, every practicable facility is afforded that 
may render this Institution really useful to science 
and the arts, for which it is chiefly intended, as 
well as gratifying to the curiosity of the multi¬ 
tude,- who incessantly resort to it in quest of 
amusement.
