THE MUSEUM TESTIMONIALS. 
“ The Museum is a charming and promising little magazine. 
I trust—and expect—that it will take and keep an important 
place, and do much to help young folks in the studies which 
you and I have so much at heart.”— Joseph Bragge, Birming¬ 
ham, England. 
“ Success should attend your efforts to give to the young a 
natural history magazine that should be thoroughly popular, 
and, at the same time, accurate and reliable in its statements. 
That it supplies a necessity that has long been felt to exist, is 
unquestioned.”— Thomas G. Gentry. 
“ June Museum received. If you maintain the present 
standard of excellence, the magazine will soon become one 
which every young worker in Science in the land must have, 
if he wishes to keep abreast with his fellows.”— Charles C. 
Abbott, M.D. 
“ It is handsomely printed, and is illustrated.”— Illustrated 
Christian Weekly, New York. 
“ The Museum ranks first. ... That this magazine 
will undoubtedly fill a long-felt desire by both old as well as 
young collectois, is plainly seen.”— Hoosier Mineralogist and 
Archceologist, Indianapolis, Ind. 
“We admire its compact columns, clear print, and short 
and pointed contributions.”— The Register, Bordentown, N.J. 
“It possesses all the elements of popularity, and should 
succeed.”— Sunday Mercury, Philadelphia, Pa. 
“ A neatly printed and carefully edited monthly magazine 
for young naturalists and collectors. It contains a number of 
well written articles on taking topics, which are nicely illus¬ 
trated.”— The Independent, Germantown, Pa. 
“ Its attractive cover and well-filled pages have already 
won for it a prominent place among the journals of its class.” 
—Keystone Stamp and Coin Gazette, Altoona, Pa. 
“ Its perusal was quite a treat to us, and if it keeps up its 
present standard of excellence it cannot fail of success.”— 
The Collector, Hull, England. 
“The second number, just issued, contains an interesting 
paper entitled: ‘ The Symbol of the Cross in America,’ by Dr. 
Brinton. Following is a collection of curious scientific facts, 
of varied character and great value.”— Sunday Press, Albany, 
N. Y. 
“ It is a model in every respect, and we hope that the young 
scientists of our country will give it the encouragement that 
it truly deserves.”— Philatelic Journal of America, St. 
Louis, Mo. 
“ The several departments—Natural History, Archaeology, 
Mineralogy, Philately, Numismatics, etc., contain many in¬ 
teresting paragraphs for students and collectors.”— The 
American, Philadelphia, Pa. 
“ In the June Museum, which every boy ought to have if 
his soul is properly devoted to collecting (because a boy is not 
good for much if he does not collect butterflies, stamps, coins, 
minerals or something), Dr. Brinton shows how common the 
symbol of the cross was in primitive Mexican and American 
adornment. Professor Gentry contributes a short sketch of 
Professor Edward D. Cope. The promises for future num¬ 
bers are quite remarkable ; but if the magazine only keeps up 
to the level of interest and value which the first two have 
shown, it will be a pronounced success in journalism.”— The 
Press, Philadelphia, Pa.
