(Cassell and Co.).
Footnote 46:
See the notice, hereafter, of the Christy Museum.
Footnote 47:
This, I think, has been clearly shown by the correspondence laid
before Parliament. The reader is referred to the papers of the session
of 1867, entitled _Correspondence as to the Woodhouse Collection of
Antiquities_, printed by order of Lord Derby, as Foreign Secretary.
Footnote 48:
In the accompanying Plan (of the Parliamentary Report, 1860),
pilasters of unnecessary size have been inadvertently introduced into
this gallery, reducing both the extent of the wall-cases, and the
breadth of the gangway, in a manner never intended.
Footnote 49:
Printed by oversight ‘general’ in the _Minutes of Evidence_.
Footnote 50:
Printed ‘object’ in _Minutes of Evidence_, as above.
Footnote 51:
It is to this Report of 1862 that the accompanying lithographic
fac-similes of the original illustrative plans belong. Two of them
show the then existing arrangements of the principal floors; the other
two show the then proposed alterations and re-arrangements.
Footnote 52:
Parliamentary Return, No. 456, of the Session 1858.
