MSS. 
This collection, the greatest part of which 
consists of donations, not being strictly of a scien¬ 
tific nature, no further detail is here given of its 
contents.—In making the selection that is here 
exhibited, from a large store of similar materials, 
deposited in a less conspicuous part of the house, 
a preference has been given to such articles as may 
best serve to illustrate some local custom, art, 
manufacture, or point of history ; but many even 
of these will gradually be set aside, to make room 
for others of more intrinsic value.^
