ADDITIONAL EXHIBITIONS.
This collection has for its object to illustrate practically, as well as statistically, the nature and extent of the Imports of Raw Material into the Kingdom of Great Britain. As far as practicable, specimens have been procured, which show the general quality of each substance, and the varieties which are originated in different localities ; at the same time, the scientific names of the producing animals or plants being generally attached to the articles, will give an interest alike to the man of science and the merchant. The large labels, in addition to a description of the group of substances to which they refer, contain also the statistical information which our Trade-returns show annually, and as these returns arc never quite completed until the middle of the year, it has been decided to exhibit the Imports of 1871 instead of 1872, as more accurate information could be obtained of the former than of the latter. The various important firms, without whose help such a collection would have been impossible, have spared neither time nor trouble in aiding the collector, and in many instances these contributions represent considerable money value; and they have helped the more readily, because it has been suggested, that the collection, at the close of the Exhibition, should be left in the Austrian capital, as a contribution to any Polytechnic Institution which may be selected to receive it.
