REPOET 
 
 OF 
 
 THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 The onerous duties and responsibilities which were imposed upon us in May, 1856, have 
 only been brought to a close after a lapse of two years and seven months. During this 
 lengthened period our most earnest attention has been devoted to the fulfilment of the 
 wishes of the promoters of the Exhibition, and the time having now arrived for 
 rendering an account of our proceedings, we have drawn up a Report for the information of 
 the subscribers to the Guarantee Fund, and the contributors to the Exhibition. 
 
 In preparing this Report we have been impressed with the conviction that it would be 
 alike interesting to the general reader, and instructive as a record, if we embodied in its pages 
 a concise history of the undertaking, its arrangements, ceremonials, and general mode of 
 management. The popular favour which the Exhibition received seems to demand this 
 review as forcibly as the duty we owe to those who with so remarkable a liberality guaran¬ 
 teed, not only the outlay, but our entire proceedings. Whilst, on the one hand, the marked 
 patronage extended to the undertaking, and the personal interest evinced in its success, by the 
 Queen—the ready generosity of owners of works of Art throughout "the Kingdom—the 
 admirable conduct of all who visited the Exhibition, and the general efficiency of the officers 
 employed by the Committee, all call for the gratitude and thanks of every member of the 
 Council; on the other hand, when we take into consideration the enormous value of the contents 
 of the Exhibition, both separately and in the aggregate, the risks to be guarded against in 
 arranging for their safe custody whilst being exhibited, and the safe transport of objects so 
 fragile and so precious—a duty seems to be imposed upon those who have conducted so 
 great a work to leave behind them such an account of their management as may serve to 
 guide, at any future time, others who may find themselves charged^ with a similar 
 responsibility.

 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURERS. 
 
 Accordingly the Report is divided into : 
 
 I. —The Origin and Organisation of the Exhibition. 
 
 II. —The Public Ceremonials observed on the occasion of the Opening of the Exhibition by 
 
 H.R.H. The Prince Consort, and on the subsequent visit of Her Most Gracious 
 Majesty The Queen. 
 
 III. —The Financial Results and General Statistics of the Exhibition. 
 
 IV. —A Series of Appendices, containing in detail Tables of Admission, Cash Receipts, 
 
 Temperature, Excursion Traffic, and other matters of interest. 
 
 I.—ORIGIN AND ORGANISATION OF THE EXHIBITION. 
 
 The conception of the Exhibition is due to Mr. J. C. Deane, who, on the 10th of 
 February 1856, in a letter addressed to Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, suggested the desirability 
 of holding an Exhibition of Art Treasures of the United Kingdom at Manchester in 1857, 
 urging as reasons for the adoption of the project, that the Art wealth of England would 
 supply examples of equal interest and an aggregate of greater value than any other country 
 in the world, and that application for the loan of these treasures for an object of public 
 utility would be met with promptness and liberality by their owners. 
 
 Struck with the feasibility of the plan, Mr. Fairbairn lost no time in communicating 
 with friends who concurred with him that the project was one that ought to be entertained 
 by the citizens of Manchester. 
 
 A circular, signed by Mr. Thomas Bazley, Mr. J. A. Turner, Mr. William Entwisle, 
 Mr. Oliver Heywood, Mr. Thomas Ashton, Mr. Joseph Heron, and Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, 
 was issued, dated the 22nd of March, 1856, convening a preliminary Meeting to be held 
 in the Mayor’s Parlour on the 28th of March. 
 
 At that Meeting were present:— 
 
 The Mayor of Manchester 
 Sir E. Armitage, 
 
 Mr. Robert Ashton,

REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 3 
 
 Mr. Deane, accompanied by Mr. Peter Cunningham, F.S.A., attended by ^invitation, 
 and the following paper which gave the general outline of the project, was read :— 
 
 “ Suggestions for an Exhibition at Manchester in 1857 of the Art Treasures of Great Britain. 
 
 “ It may be taken as a fact (what indeed must be known to the readers of Dr. 
 Waagen’s valuable but imperfect volumes), that there are in the United Kingdom, 
 in the possession of private individuals, objects of Art which exceed in interest and 
 value those of any other country in the world. 
 
 “Art in England may be said to have derived all its encouragement from private 
 persons. Its best treasures have passed into the hands of those whose wealth has 
 enabled them to foster and gratify their tastes. The pictures of our leading artists, 
 the works of our best Sculptors, as well as the most select of all other objects coming 
 under the denomination of Fine Arts, are distributed in private houses throughout 
 the kingdom, instead of being found as in continental countries in National Col¬ 
 lections accessible to the public. 
 
 “Valuable as these treasures are to their possessors, great liberality has always 
 been shown in lending them for Exhibitions, and more particularly to those where 
 they would be seen by the humbler and more uneducated classes of the community. 
 In a full belief that this liberality will be still more evinced, a scheme for an 
 Exhibition at Manchester to be called 1 The Art Treasures of Great Britain,’ is now 
 submitted for your consideration. 
 
 “ The experience of the last few years has demonstrated the advantages which 
 have arisen from periodical gatherings of the productions of industry, and doubtless 
 from time to time other Exhibitions of a like kind will take place in England and 
 in other countries. It will however be for the interests of Manufacturers that 
 longer intervals should occur before they again compete in these peaceful and 
 expensive displays; and it is believed that years must necessarily elapse before an. 
 Industrial Collection in Great Britain, akin to those of the Exhibitions of 1851, 
 1853, and 1855, is again brought together. 
 
 “ Expedient as this course may be as regards industrial Exhibitions, there appears 
 no reason why an effort should not be made to collect in one central locality, and in 
 a suitable building, the Treasures of Art with which Great Britain abounds, and in 
 the collection of which for a national purpose it is believed there would be no 
 practical difficulty. With the exception of the metropolis, Manchester of all places 
 in Great Britain appears to be the most suited for an Exhibition of this kind. 
 Situated as it is, in the centre of the kingdom, in the midst of a dense surrounding

 population, with railway facilities admirably adapted for bringing and returning 
 visitors within one day to and from their own residences, it presents advantages of 
 a nature highly calculated to insure the financial success of the scheme now in 
 contemplation. 
 
 “ In proposing to bring these Treasures together, it must be understood that 
 though Painting and Sculpture must necessarily form a large portion of the collection, 
 yet the scheme contemplates a still wider scope of attraction. Fine Arts, iu all 
 branches, judiciously selected, would be here displayed, subject to careful classifi¬ 
 cation and arrangement. An opportunity too would thus occur of giving by 
 examples a Chronological History of British Painting, which in itself could not fail 
 to be attractive, and particularly in a district where individuals have done so much 
 to encourage Art. Means too may be taken to illustrate in an effective and 
 instructive manner English life in bygone times. Thus, rooms in the proposed 
 Exhibition may be appropriated, on the walls of which may be hung Pictures of the 
 Worthies of the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Anne, while in the same 
 apartments may be shown (to those who live in the reign of Queen Victoria) whatever 
 illustrates the manners and customs of those important periods of English History. 
 
 “ It would be easy to point out many other appropriate objects of attraction in Art 
 which might be admitted within the building we contemplate : costume, armour, 
 antiquities of all sorts, furniture, ancient glass, ancient china, works in precious 
 metals, and a thousand other objects, which will readily present themselves to any 
 reflective mind. In a word the Art Treasures of the United Kingdom would be 
 sought for, and those in whose possession they are would be asked to lend them to 
 the citizens of Manchester, that they may be shown to the world at Manchester in 
 the year 1857. 
 
 “ The scheme (so happily suggested by Lord Stanhope, sanctioned by Parliament, 
 and so recently approved of by Her Majesty in a message to the Lords) of forming a 
 collection of the Portraits of persons eminent in British history may be materially 
 assisted by an Exhibition like that contemplated at Manchester in 1857. A list of 
 existing British Portraits, with the names of the possessors of them, has been framed 
 by us with great care, so that application for the loan of the most interesting portraits 
 may be made forthwith. A Gallery of Lancashire Worthies will form an appropriate 
 portion of this collection. 
 
 “If this project is to be carried out in a manner worthy of its object, it will be 
 necessary that a Fire-proof Building should be constructed, capable of holding not 
 less than 30,000 people. This building, designed with a view to its after sale at a 
 good market price, would cost at least £25,000, including fittings, such as glass 
 cases; and a further outlay of £10,000 may be looked upon as a sum within which

 the expenses of staff, conveyance of goods, travelling expenses, printing, advertise¬ 
 ments, &c., &c., may be included, making the total estimated expenditure £35,000. 
 Now, if the Exhibition were to open on the 1st of May, 1857 (a matter perfectly 
 practicable if the scheme be at present taken up), and remain open until the 1st of 
 October, it would take an average attendance of about 5,000 a day to bring back the 
 £35,000, and this without any reliance from the sources of revenue, such as Season 
 Tickets, Catalogues, Refreshment Rooms, &c. At the Dublin Exhibition (the 
 smallest in size and the least financially successful of the three Exhibitions already 
 referred to) there were sold £18,238 10s. in Season Tickets. None but those who 
 held them were admitted on the occasion of the opening and the subsequent visit of 
 Her Majesty, which caused the sale to be much larger than it otherwise would have 
 been. If the Queen were present at the opening of the Art Treasures , it is fair to 
 assume that a very extensive sale would take place in Lancashire alone, and thus add 
 considerably to the resources of the Exhibition. It is however to the shillings we 
 must look mainly for success; and if one million and a half of persons visited the 
 Dublin collection, in a city not too accessible by land or water, we may fairly hope 
 that a much larger number would visit the Manchester Exhibition of 1857. 
 
 u Should the gentlemen now present approve of the scheme here submitted for 
 their consideration, it would be in the first instance desirable to appoint a General 
 Committee consisting of those Noblemen and Gentlemen throughout the kingdom 
 who are honourably known as collectors of works of Art, and to nominate also an 
 Executive Committee, one of whose first duties would be to arrange for a deputation 
 to lay the project before Prince Albert, and seek His Royal Highness’s approval and 
 co-operation. It would be also necessary to establish a Guarantee Fund on the faith 
 of which operations could be at once commenced, the site chosen, the design advertised 
 for, and the contract taken. The subsequent working of the project will entirely 
 depend on the energy of those entrusted with its management. Personal interviews 
 with the owners of objects of Art, the keeping of the project before the public, the 
 organization of traffic arrangements with the railways, and various other measures 
 necessary to open and carry on the Exhibition are all essential to its success. Let 
 Manchester enter heartily into the scheme, and we shall have in its city in 1857 a 
 Treasury of Art worthy of this country, with at its close a handsome surplus to be 
 applied to such purpose in Manchester itself as the Committee may deem desirable. 
 
 (Signed) PETER CUNNINGHAM, 
 
 JOHN C. DEANE. ” 
 
 A lengthened conversation took place with reference more especially to the proba¬ 
 bility or otherwise of Art Treasures being obtainable for the purpose of such an Exhibition ; 
 and also the probable expense of the Building, and the returns which might with confidence 
 be anticipated. It was at that meeting unanimously resolved :— 
 
6 
 
 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 “ That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable if practicable to carry out 
 the proposal this day submitted for holding at Manchester, in 1857, an ‘ Exhibition 
 of Art Treasures of the United Kingdom.’ ” 
 
 Acting upon the suggestion that it would be necessary to form a Guarantee Fund, on 
 the faith of which operations might at once be commenced, Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, accom¬ 
 panied by one or two influential friends, waited upon the leading citizens of Manchester, and 
 within the space of one month a sum exceeding £60,000 was guaranteed, in sums of £1,000 
 and £500 ; thirty-two gentlemen putting their names down for £1,000 and sixty for £500 
 each. This sum was increased within a short period to £74,000. 
 
 It was understood at the preliminary Meeting of the 28th of March that application 
 would be made to Her Majesty the Queen, and to His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, for 
 their patronage and support ; and also that Plans and Estimates of the cost of the Building 
 would be obtained. 
 
 In accordance with this understanding, the Mayor addressed a letter to Colonel Phipps, 
 soliciting an interview with His Royal Highness in order to place before him the proposition 
 for holding the Exhibition; and on the 7th of May 1856, the Mayor of Manchester, the 
 High Sheriff of Lancashire (R. N. Philips, Esq.), Sir John Potter, the Mayor of Salford 
 (Stephen Heelis, Esq.), Mr. Thomas Bazley, Mr. Joseph Heron, and Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, 
 attended at Buckingham Palace and submitted the views of the promoters. His Royal 
 Highness was informed that a Guarantee Fund of £60,000 had been already subscribed; 
 and that in the opinion of the deputation, it was only necessary to obtain the same patronage 
 and support which was accorded by Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness to the 
 Exhibition at Dublin, to ensure for the contemplated Exhibition of Art Treasures of the 
 United Kingdom the most complete success. His Royal Highness expressed his willingness 
 to do all in his power to promote the success of the undertaking, and promised that the 
 desire of Manchester to obtain Her Majesty’s patronage, should be conveyed to the Queen, 
 and that Her Majesty’s intentions should be subsequently communicated. Colonel Phipps, 
 in a letter dated May 10th 1856, addressed to the High Sheriff of Lancashire, communi¬ 
 cated Her Majesty’s gracious consent to grant her patronage. 
 
 This information embodied in a Report, was communicated to the subscribers to the 
 Guarantee Fund at a Meeting held in the Town Hall on the 20th of May 1856. It was 
 further stated that the deputation had had an interview with the Earl of Ellesmere and 
 several other collectors, and also that enquiries had been made as to the possibility of a 
 building, adapted for the purpose of the proposed undertaking being erected within the limits 
 of time and cost which had been named. Suggestions and estimates were forwarded by 
 Messrs. Fox and Henderson, of Birmingham, contractors for the Great Exhibition Building 
 of 1851, and by Messrs. C. D. Young and Co. of London and Edinburgh. It was then 
 resolved :— 
 
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

 “ That this meeting of the Subscribers to tbe Guarantee Fund, being satisfied by 
 the statement now submitted, of the practicability of securing an Exhibition of Art 
 Treasures in Manchester, and Her Most Gracious Majesty and His Royal Highness 
 Prince Albert having been pleased to extend to such Exhibition their Royal patronage 
 and support, hereby determines that an Exhibition to be entitled the ‘ Exhibition of 
 Art Treasures of the United Kingdom’ shall be held in Manchester in 1857.” 
 
 It was also resolved— 
 
 “ That the Subscribers to the ‘ Guarantee Fund ’ should form the General Council 
 of the Exhibition ; that the Right Honourable the Earl of Ellesmere, the Lord 
 Lieutenant of the County of Lancashire, be requested to act as President, and His 
 Worship the Mayor of Manchester as Chairman of the General Council.” 
 
 Appointment of the Executive Committee. 
 
 The importance of concentrating in few hands the management of the undertaking, and 
 intrusting to a small committee full powers, was discussed at this first meeting of the sub¬ 
 scribers, and the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :— 
 
 “ That, for the purpose of carrying out the foregoing resolution, an Executive 
 Committee be appointed, to consist of seven gentlemen ; and to such Committee shall 
 be delegated full powers to make all engagements, financial and otherwise, so as to 
 fulfil the objects of this Meeting, and to secure the realisation of the project on a 
 scale commensurate with its intrinsic importance and the national resources in Art, 
 and in a manner worthy of the city by which it is entertained; subject only to the 
 approval by the General Council of the site and plan of the intended Building when 
 such shall have been decided upon; and with the understanding that the final appro¬ 
 priation of the Building and of any surplus fund that may be realised, shall rest with 
 the General Council. 
 
 “ That the following gentlemen do constitute the Executive Committee —The 
 Chairman of the General Council (ex officio), Mr. Thomas Ashton, Mr. William 
 Entwisle, Mr. Thomas Fairbaim, Mr. Joseph Heron, Mr. Edmund Potter, and 
 Mr. Sigismund J. Stern.” 
 
 The first meeting of the Executive Committee was held on the 21st day of May IT 56, 
 when Mr. Thomas Fairbaim was appointed Chairman of the Committee. It was then resolved 
 to advertise in the public papers for plans and site for the proposed Exhibition Building, 
 and also for applications for the office of Secretary. 
 
8 
 
 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 At the meeting of the Committee held on the 24th of May, the appointment of 
 General Commissioner to the Exhibition, at a fixed salary after the rate of £1,000 per 
 annum, was offered to Mr. J. C. Deane. That appointment was accepted by Mr. Deane, 
 and was made “ for the advantageous and expeditious fulfilment of the wishes and orders of 
 the Executive Committee, and for the general purposes of the collection and arrangement 
 of the Exhibition.” 
 
 Numerous applications for the office of Secretary were received; and on the 31st of 
 May, Mr. C. H. Minchin was appointed at a salary of £300 per annum. At a subsequent 
 period, the great increase in the correspondence and the complicated character of the 
 accounts necessitated an additional appointment, and the Committee were fortunate in 
 securing the services of Lieut.-Colonel Hamilton to fulfil the onerous and important duties 
 of the office of General Secretary—Mr. Minchin being transferred to the superintendence 
 of the Financial Department of the undertaking. 
 
 From the commencement of their labours the Committee had determined to rely entirely 
 upon the extent and character of the Guarantee Fund for the necessary pecuniary means for 
 conducting the preliminary arrangements of the Exhibition. A strong reliance was felt 
 throughout that liberally conducted the Exhibition would pay all its expenses; and the 
 Committee carefully avoided any appeal for extraneous aid or money contributions. 
 
 Negotiations were opened with John Eeid, Esq., the Agent of the Bank of England 
 in this City, and the Committee desire to record their sense of the courteous attention of 
 that gentleman, and of the liberality of the Governor and Court of Directors of the Bank, 
 who, upon the deposit in their hands of the document legalising the Subscriptions to the 
 Guarantee, opened a drawing account with the Executive Committee in the name of James 
 Watts, Esq., Treasurer, with a limit of £25,000 advance, and subject to the payment of 
 interest at the rate of five per cent, per annum on the amount drawn. 
 
 The Committee met with further assistance from the Bank Directors when the first 
 limit was exceeded, and by the arrangements with the Bank have throughout their labours, 
 been able at once to meet all their engagements. 
 
 In reply to the advertisement for plans, a large number was received, and on the 
 4th of June they were arranged for inspection in the Town Hall. After careful examination, 
 the Committee arrived at the unanimous conclusion that the design sent in by Messrs. 
 C. D. Young & Co. appeared the best adapted for the purpose, and they accordingly 
 recommended it for adoption by the General Council. 
 
 Numerous sites in the City and its neighbourhood for the erection of the Building were 
 also offered, and ultimately an agreement was concluded with Sir H. de Trafford, Bart., 
 for the ground in the occupation of the Manchester Cricket Club and other land adjoining,

 at Old Trafford,—the Club, in consideration of the payment of £1,300, surrendering their 1 
 lease and giving up the immediate possession of the land with the Pavilion. The details of 
 these important preliminaries are given in the following Report, which was presented to 
 and approved by a General Meeting of Council held on the 23rd of June, 185G :— 
 
 (Copy) 
 
 “ Since the former meeting of the Subscribers to the Guarantee Fund, when the 
 Executive Committee accepted the heavy responsibility imposed upon them by the 
 vote of the General Council, they have not neglected to devote their daily attention 
 to the task of making the necessary arrangements for the proposed Exhibition in 1857. 
 
 “ The shortness of the time allowed, when the work to be done is considered, 
 rendered it imperative that not a day should be lost in deciding upon the site, the 
 form and mode of construction of the required building,—in concluding a contract 
 for its erection, and putting the contractor in possession of the ground.—in providing 
 the funds for defraying all the expenses of the works, &c.,—in inviting the utmost 
 publicity and patronage of the proposed Exhibition, and in securing the services of 
 gentlemen whose known acquirements and previous experience would afford the 
 means of carrying out to the fullest extent the design of its originators. 
 
 “ They are gratified in being enabled to announce to the Council that they have 
 been successful in making an engagement with Mr. J. C. Deane, whose connection 
 with, and management of, that portion of the Exhibition, in Dublin, in 1853, 
 which was devoted to the Collection of Works of Art, affords evidence of his compe¬ 
 tence for the task he has undertaken, viz., that of acting as Commissioner to the 
 Executive Committee for procuring contributions of the most valuable and remarkable 
 Works of Art in the United Kingdom, and for arranging and classifying them in such 
 a manner as may best combine extensive views of the progress of Art with the grati¬ 
 fication which attends the contemplation of their individual merits. The Executive 
 Committee have full confidence that his assistance and advice will enable them to 
 obtain all that is worthy to be included in such a national collection of Art Treasures 
 as this Exhibition will produce, if the public patronage awarded to the undertaking 
 be at all commensurate with the original conception. 
 
 “ For this purpose it will be necessary to invite extensive co-operation from all 
 patrons and lovers of Art, and the Committee have reason to believe, from the very 
 favourable reception which the project has already experienced from the Queen and 
 the Prince Consort, as well as from all classes among the Public, and from the Press 
 generally, that they will not meet with any serious difficulty in securing contributions 
 so soon as they can show that they will be prepared to receive them, and to exhibit 
 them in a manner worthy of their own reputation and that of the City within which 
 they will be collected.

 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 “ But the first steps are those of a more business-like character, and in this respect 
 the Executive Committee are happy to be able to announce that their arrangements 
 .are now complete. 
 
 “ By the liberality of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, and on 
 the sole credit of the Guarantee signed by the Subscribers, they are placed in command 
 of funds upon favourable terms, which will as they hope suffice for their expenditure 
 until the receipts shall begin to flow in. And the Executive Committee have much 
 pleasure in taking this opportunity of expressing their sense of obligation for the 
 ready courtesy which has thus placed in their power the means of meeting all the 
 preliminary and other expenses without encroaching upon the generosity of those 
 whose public spirit has been evinced by giving the security of their names for the 
 large amount of £70,000. 
 
 “ This being satisfactorily arranged, they proceed at once to the explanation of 
 those matters on which the confirmation of the General Council is required for giving 
 validity to their conditional agreements, both for the acquisition of a suitable site, 
 and for the erection of a building adequate for all the purposes of the Exhibition. 
 
 “ The first question that arises in determining the site, appears to be that of giving 
 every possible security to the possessors of Works of Art that their treasures shall 
 not receive injury in consequence of their liberality. For this purpose several 
 important points require attention, such as— 
 
 “ 1. An atmosphere free from smoke and dust, so far as that object can be 
 obtained within any reasonable distance. 
 
 “ 2. Direct conveyance of all packages, and their safe delivery at the Building 
 itself into the hands of proper persons attending on the spot to receive 
 them, without change of carriage. 
 
 “ 3. Facility of early examination on delivery. 
 
 “ 4. The desirableness of receiving the packages as short a time as possible 
 before the opening of the Exhibition, and the consequent necessity of 
 rapid delivery of many hundreds of cases in a short time. 
 
 “More might be added, but enough has probably been said to point out the necessity 
 of a site on the south or west side of the town, and, if possible, in immediate proximity 
 to a Railroad. 
 
 “ From the London Road westward and beyond the radius of a mile from the 
 Exchange, there are no manufactories, and the prevalent west winds drive the smoke 
 of the town in a great measure away from any open space of sufficient area for the 
 proposed building; and this advantage becomes greater with every step towards the 
 
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

 westward. But it is not until we arrive at a distance of about one mile and a half 
 from the Exchange, that an open area of sufficient space can he secured, and then 
 only upon payment of a heavy chief rent, which may he estimated roundly at about 
 4d. to fid. per yard as a minimum. And there is absolutely no such space immediately 
 adjoining a Railway or Canal until we come to the line of the old Chester-road and 
 the Altrincham Railway. 
 
 “ It appears to the Committee that a Railway, and a Railway alone possessing the 
 means of rapid and complete communication with every part of the kingdom, could 
 fulfil the conditions imposed by the remaining considerations above stated, and that 
 the advantages of even a Railway would be most materially diminished by any 
 interval, however short, interposed between the rails and the site of the Building; 
 that nothing in fact but direct and absolute connection of the ground occupied by 
 the proposed Building and the line of Railway would afford the required facilities. 
 Fortunately such space exists, and has been placed at the disposal of your Committee. 
 
 “ But there are other and very important considerations which point to the same 
 results, viz.:— 
 
 “ Carriage of articles contributed, economy in the construction of the Building 
 and its completion within the given time. 
 
 “ It is unnecessary to enter into details on these heads, as the effects of such 
 connection are obvious at a glance. We may therefore pass on at once to the vital 
 point of the whole scheme, viz., its successful result, which can only be secured, or 
 rather, can only be rendered possible, by affording the most ready access to the 
 thousands of visitors who may be expected, not only from the'residents in and near 
 Manchester itself, but from the vast population within two or three hours’ journey of 
 Manchester as a centre. It should be remembered that there is in this respect an 
 essential difference between the population of London or Paris and the population of 
 this district, equal perhaps to both of the two together, if we include the whole of 
 the area within an easy day’s excursion out and home again. 
 
 “In the two former cities three-fourths, or probably a larger proportion of the 
 visitors to any Exhibition are, for the time at least, residents in the town itself, and 
 of these a great number would find their way to the point of attraction independently 
 of any means of public conveyance, and another large class would use such means of 
 conveyance as were most convenient for their purpose, even if a Railway were led 
 into the very building, unless like that at Sydenham it should be so far removed 
 from the population as to leave no choice in the matter. For any Exhibition, there¬ 
 fore, in London itself, for instance, a Railway would be comparatively useless to 
 visitors. Here on the contrary it appears to be absolutely imperative upon the 
 Committee to look to this as the chief source of success. For in the first place the 
 
12 
 
 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 proportions would probably be reversed, and for one resident visitor we might fairly 
 count upon three strangers , assuming the attraction of the Exhibition to be sufficiently 
 great, and the facility of access and return within a dag , under cover all the wag , 
 and for one fare , to be secured to all Avho desire to visit the Exhibition from within 
 the district above stated. Indeed it would be difficult to imagine how, under any 
 other circumstances, an adequate return can be anticipated. 
 
 “ Let us take at a rough estimate a number of visitors as great as that to the 
 Exhibition in Dublin in 1853, viz., about 1,200,000, and let us suppose that out of 
 our own population of 500,000 within reach of Manchester independently of a Railway, 
 some 100,000 persons could be induced to spare the requisite time and money to go 
 at all; and let us further suppose that these would go on an average three times each, 
 making a total of 300,000 visits. This calculation is probably quite as large as can 
 be made with any safety. It follows that there must be a number of 900,000 visits 
 from strangers, who would require conveyance into and out of Manchester. 
 
 “ Now in five months there would be, excluding Sundays and season-ticket days, 
 about 100 days available for Excursion Trains, which would therefore require to pour 
 into the streets and roads some 9,000 persons per diem on an average, to make their 
 way as best they might to the proposed building. It is unnecessary to dwell upon 
 the fatigue, expense, and loss of time consequent upon any interruption, however slight, 
 in the continuity of their journey; the extortion and litigation arising from bargains 
 for conveyances which must be made under these circumstances leaving the visitor 
 little option as to his course; the disappointment of many who looked forward to a 
 day’s pleasure, and its inevitable result in deterring many others from coming at all. 
 
 “ But it should be remembered that all these evil consequences would be materially 
 aggravated by the crowding together, on some particular occasions, of perhaps double 
 that number of visitors, whenever any special circumstances should offer additional 
 inducements. 
 
 “ It only remains for your Committee to say a few words upon the question of 
 inconvenience entailed upon our own townsmen by the increase of distance which may 
 be necessary for securing the advantages of contiguity to a Railway. It has been 
 above stated that a distance of a mile and a half from the Exchange, or thereabouts, 
 is inevitable, if we are to secure even moderate freedom from such impurity of atmo¬ 
 sphere as would most assuredly cause the failure of the scheme, by deterring any 
 possessors of valuable Works of Art from allowing them to be subjected to its influence. 
 Now, by increasing this distance by about half a mile, the required conditions may be 
 fulfilled. 
 
 “ Land has been offered on liberal terms by Sir H. de Trafford, adjoining the 
 Railway at Old Traffcrd, and adjoining also the Botanical Gardens, which w'ould

 form an agreeable promenade in connection with the building, and be at all times a 
 protection against other buildings on that side. Out of the total residents in the town 
 or its vicinity who might visit the Exhibition, a large number would use their own 
 or hired carriages, so that the fatigue, loss of time, and expense caused by half a mile 
 of additional distance would be hardly felt at all by that class, even if that were the 
 necessary consequence to all alike, which is clearly not the case, since removal from 
 one neighbourhood implies approach to another. In fact, it may be at once stated 
 that, for such as cud afford to use private carriages or hired vehicles, the Committee 
 do not think it necessary to enter into further defence of their selection. There 
 remains the class—and it is to be hoped a very numerous class, too—of our fellow- 
 townsmen, who with their families would visit the Exhibition in the cheapest possible 
 way. Out of these, for all who live on the same side of the town the increase of 
 distance would not be any material inconvenience, while to those who live on the 
 opposite side or in distant quarters of the town, the Railway would afford the means of 
 saving time to a greater extent than the amount of fare would represent, provided that 
 when a passenger should take his ticket and his place in a Railway-carriage (which 
 might be done by payment of one fare and by one ticket), he should within a few minutes 
 afterwards be set down without exertion or loss of time at the very doors of the building. 
 
 “ Arrangements for this purpose are contemplated by the various Railway Com¬ 
 panies, and the Executive Committee are anxious to take this opportunity of testifying 
 their sense of the very liberal manner in which they have been met by the Officers 
 and Boards of those Companies, and adding that their selection has been in great 
 measure influenced by the ready disposition evinced by those gentlemen to grant 
 every possible facility in their power. Indeed they have had the advantage of mauy 
 and valuable offers of aid from many quarters, for which they hope to have other 
 opportunities of making their acknowledgments. It is sufficient to say here, that 
 the considerations above stated appear to the Executive Committee amply sufficient 
 to justify, or rather to demand, the selection of perhaps the only site near Manchester 
 that combines all the required qualifications for their purpose. 
 
 “ They have accordingly concluded a provisional agreement with the Committee 
 and gentlemen of the Cricket Club, for the surrender of the lease, and for the imme¬ 
 diate possession of the ground; and this land, together with any further extent 
 required for the Exhibition building or for the Railway and other approaches to it, 
 will be held from Sir H. de Trafford for a period of two years, at an annual rent, 
 with an option, at the expiration of that period, to purchase, if the building should 
 be permanent. 
 
 “ In order to procure plans and suggestions for the building and mode of construc¬ 
 tion suitable for the purpose of the proposed Exhibition, your Committee published 
 the following advertisement;— 
 
14 
 
 EXHIBITION 01' ART TREASURES. 
 
 ( Copy.) 
 
 “ Exhibition of the Art Treasures of the United Kingdom in 1857. 
 
 “ The Executive Committee will be happy to receive Plans and Suggestions 
 as to the best form and mode of Construction of a Building suited for the purposes 
 of the contemplated Exhibition. The space intended to be covered is about 
 15,000 square yards, and the total cost of the building must not exceed £25,000. 
 The design must also admit of being erected within a period of not more than 
 six months. The Committee do not offer a premium for any suggestion which 
 may be furnished to them, but reserve to themselves the right to award a remu¬ 
 nerative consideration if they think fit. The communications must be forwarded 
 addressed to the Chairman of the Executive Committee, Town Hall, Manchester, 
 not later than the 4 th of June next. Every separate plan or paper must bear the 
 signature of the owner. Plans not so marked will not be returned.” 
 
 “In reply to this advertisement, a considerable number of plans and estimates were 
 received, many of which display a praiseworthy degree of talent and industry, especially 
 if we regard the shortness of the time which the Committee were able to allow for 
 their reception. At the same time it was found, on a careful examination of them, 
 that but few would really fulfil the obvious requirements of the proposed Exhibition 
 of Art Treasures. These may be briefly stated as follows :— 
 
 “1. The covering a sufficient space of ground to allow room both for the 
 numerous Works of Art which will be collected, and for the free circula¬ 
 tion of the large numbers that may be expected to attend, especially on 
 the occasion of any public ceremonial or other unusual attraction. 
 
 “ 2. The distribution of this space to the best advantage, especially with reference 
 to the ‘ wall space' required for the exhibition of Pictures, and the mode 
 of lighting it. 
 
 “3. Completion within the specified time, involving the question of materials 
 used, and mode of construction. 
 
 “4. Security from fire, rain, and damp. 
 
 “ 5. Execution within the proposed limits of cost. 
 
 “ Other points of consideration might be added, but the above will suffice to show 
 that failure to satisfy these essential conditions would at once dispose of any plan 
 submitted to the Committee. It would, however, be impossible, even if it were 
 desirable, to go into any details upon the merits of the various plans, further than 
 to say that your Committee have been guided in their ultimate selection of a design 
 by its combination of the three indispensable requisites of convenience of distri¬ 
 bution of space, facility of execution, and cheapness of construction; and that on 
 
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 15 
 
 all these grounds they have come to the unanimous conclusion, that the design sent 
 in by Mr. Young (now engaged in the construction of the Art Museum at Kensington 
 Gore) appeared to be the best adapted to their purpose. At the same time the 
 Committee were of opinion that, without any material increase of cost, some improve¬ 
 ments might be effected; and as it was moreover necessary to determine to what 
 extent the fa 9 ade and the exterior of the building should be decorated or relieved 
 by any architectural designs, they employed Mr. Salomons to confer with Mr. Young 
 upon these points, and to report the result of their deliberations to the Committee ; 
 a strict limit of total cost being always maintained. 
 
 “ The plan so improved has been finally adopted by the Committee, and they now 
 recommend it to the General Council, as that which appears under all the circum¬ 
 stances to be the best. 
 
 “A provisional contract has been made with Mr. Young for its completion by the 
 1st of January next for the sum of £24,500, and adequate penalties are provided in 
 case the building shall not be delivered complete to the Executive Committee by the 
 15th of that month. 
 
 “ The task remains for your Committee to acknowledge with their grateful thanks 
 the ready compliance with their request which they have found from so many and so 
 highly qualified professional gentlemen, and to submit to the Council the propriety 
 of marking by their approbation and by some moderate compensation for the time and 
 labour bestowed upon them, those contributions which appear either from beauty of 
 design or general appropriateness of construction to have most nearly fulfilled their 
 expectations, and done the most credit to the Artists themselves.

 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 On tlie 28th of June the ground at Old Trafford was inspected and instructions were 
 given to Mr. E. Salomons who had been appointed Architect to the Committee, and to 
 Mr. W. Dredge the representative of Messrs. Young, as to the exact position of the Building 
 which was that day staked out. The Contractors took possession on the 3d of July and 
 commenced operations. 
 
 The Building having been now fairly commenced, it was deemed desirable at once to 
 communicate with the Prince Consort with a view of respectfully impressing upon His Royal 
 Highness that a promise of contributions from the Art Treasures of the Royal Collections, 
 would, by example, tend in the highest degree to influence others to lend Works of 
 Art to the proposed Exhibition; and a communication was received from Colonel Phipps, 
 intimating that the Prince would be glad to receive a Deputation from the Committee on the 
 2nd of July. Accordingly, the Deputation, consisting of Ihe Mayor, the Chairman of the 
 Executive Committee, Mr. Entwisle, Mr. Heron, and Mr. Stern, proceeded to London. 
 The Deputation was accompanied by Lord Overstone, who at an early period intimated 
 his desire to become a Subscriber to the Guarantee Fund. His Royal Highness received 
 the Deputation most graciously, and carefully examined the approved plans which were 
 submitted for his inspection. 
 
 The satisfactory nature of the interview with the Prince Consort is best evinced 
 by the following valuable and interesting communication, which was subsequently addressed 
 by his Royal Highness to the Right Honourable the Earl of Ellesmere:— 
 
 ‘‘My Dear Lord Ellesmere, “Buckingham, Palace, July 3, 1856. 
 
 “ I was very sorry not to see you with the deputation from Manchester that came 
 to me yesterday upon the subject of the Exhibition of Art Treasures, which it is pro¬ 
 posed to open in that city in May, 1857. Lord Overstone however, as well as the 
 other members of the deputation, left nothing to desire in explaining the objects which 
 they have in view. I could not fail to admire the public spirit which has prompted 
 the people of Manchester to enter upon so large and maguificent an undertaking. 
 
 “We had a good deal of discussion upon its general principles, upon the soundness 
 and fitness of which much of its future success must necessarily depend. 
 
 “ Manchester enters upon this undertaking at a certain disadvantage. It has been 
 preceded by the Exhibition of 1851, that of Dublin in 1853, and that at Paris, dur¬ 
 ing the last year. That a mere repetition of what has thus gone before would fail to 
 attract sufficient notice and public support appears to have been felt by the Committee ; 
 and they most wisely gave a distinctive character to their scheme by making it an 
 Exhibition of what may emphatically be called the Art-Treasures of this country 
 
KEPOKT OK EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

 How to succeed in collecting such treasures, fondly cherished as they are by their 
 owners, who are justly jealous of their safety, is the problem to be solved. 
 
 “ In my opinion the solution will be found in the satisfactory proof of the useful¬ 
 ness of the undertaking. The mere gratification of public curiosity, and the giving 
 an intellectual entertainment to the dense population of a particular locality, would be 
 praiseworthy in itself, but hardly sufficient to convince the owners of Works of Art 
 that it is their duty, at a certain risk and inconvenience, to send their choicest trea¬ 
 sures to Manchester for exhibition. 
 
 ‘‘ That national usefulness might, however, be found in the educational direction 
 which may be given to the whole scheme. No country invests a larger amount of 
 capital in works of Art of all kinds thau England; and in none almost is so little 
 done for Art-education ! If the collection you propose to form were made to illus¬ 
 trate the history of Art in a chronological and systematic arrangement, it would speak 
 powerfully to the public mind, and enable, in a practical way, the most uneducated 
 eye to gather the lessons which ages of thought and scientific research have attempted 
 to abstract; and would present to the world for the first time a gallery such as no 
 other country could produce, but for which, I feel convinced, the materials exist 
 abundantly in private hands among us. 
 
 “ As far as painting is concerned, I enclose a catalogue, exhibiting all the different 
 schools, with the masters who illustrate them, which able hands have compiled for me, 
 and which was communicated to the National Gallery Committee of 1853, and printed 
 by them with the evidence. 
 
 “ If such a catalogue for instance were to be filled up with the specimens of the 
 best paintings by the different masters enumerated in it which exist in this country, I 
 feel certain that the committee would come with very different powers of persuasion, 
 and a very different claim to attention, to their owners, than when the demand for 
 the loan of certain of their pictures were apparently dependent upon mere accident or 
 caprice. 
 
 “ A person who would not otherwise be inclined to part with a picture would 
 probably shrink from refusing it if he knew that his doing so tended to mar the reali¬ 
 zation of a great National object. 
 
 “ The same principle might be adopted with regard to the other branches of Art, 
 extending even into the field of manufacturing industry. 
 
 “Whatever may be the decision of the Committee, I assure you that it will give me 
 the greatest pleasure to give you any feeble assistance or support which 1 may be

 enabled to render; and I may at the same time repeat to you the assurance of the 
 Queen’s best wishes for the success of your labours. 
 
 “ Ever yours truly, 
 
 “ALBERT.” 
 
 Upon being applied to, His Royal Higness intimated to Lord Ellesmere that he 
 or the Committee might make any use they pleased of the letter addressed to his Lordship, 
 although it was not written with a view to publication. 
 
 Shortly after the return of the Deputation from London, steps were taken to give 
 the letter publicity ; and a circular, signed by the Chairman of the Executive Committee, 
 inviting attention to the character and object of the Exhibition of Art Treasures of the 
 United Kingdom accompanied by a copy of the Prince’s communication, was prepared and 
 addressed to the principal owners of Works of Art and to the various learned societies in 
 England, Ireland, and Scotland. 
 
 Before the issue of this circular letter many direct applications had been made by the 
 members of the Committee and their officers to noblemen and gentlemen in London and 
 elsewhere possessing well known Works of Art; and it may be well here to acknowledge 
 the important aid which was rendered to the Exhibition by Dr. G. F. Waagen, the Director of 
 the Galleries of His Majesty the King of Prussia, and author of the well-known and 
 deservedly-valued work on the “Art Treasures of Great Britain.” Dr. Waagen not only 
 marked in these volumes, for the guidance of the Committee, such works as from their 
 intrinsic merit or their value in the formation of a perfect chronological series of paintings 
 would be essential to the collection, but he favoured the Committee with frequent 
 communications from Berlin which were of the highest interest and importance. 
 
 Notwithstanding this apparently favourable progress, it was soon seen that a more 
 extended staff would be required, and a more systematic and subdivided course of applica¬ 
 tion have to be adopted. The Committee therefore decided upon engaging the services of 
 Mr. George Sharf, F.S.A., to act as Art Secretary, and to his especial care was entrusted the 
 selection, arrangement, and classification of the contributions to the Galleries of Ancient 
 Masters. 
 
 A circular letter was now addressed to the Artists of the British School of 
 Painting, requesting them to fill up a form specifying the name, character, and dimen¬ 
 sions of such of their paintings as they would wish to be exhibited, and the names and 
 addresses of their respective owners, with any other information which they might con¬ 
 sider useful. A similar circular was also addressed to British Sculptors. The issue of 
 these circulars brings the history of the undertaking to the middle of August 1856, during 
 which period the progress of the Building went on uninterruptedly. 
 
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 ID 
 
 On the 13th of August, the basement plate of the first pillar of the Exhibition 
 Building was laid by the Chairman of the Executive Committee. 
 
 From this date up to the early part of October, the Committee were principally engaged 
 in making applications to the leading owners of Works of Art for permission to make 
 selections from their respective collections. Day after day brought the most satisfactory 
 evidence of the appreciation of the project, in the ready assent to place the objects which 
 were asked for at the disposal of the Executive Committee. These applications were 
 in all cases accompanied by a form specifying the particular works sought to 
 be exhibited. In addition to the promises obtained in answer to these direct 
 applications, numerous offers of assistance were voluntarily made to the Committee, but 
 in no case were offers accepted without an intimation that a qualified gentleman would 
 be deputed to call and inspect the proffered works. 
 
 The exertions of the Committee having been hitherto principally directed to obtaining 
 specimens of the various Schools of Painting, ancient and modern, it now became desirable 
 to organise a system for the collection and arrangement of that portion of the Exhibition 
 to be devoted to the General Museum of Art. In the early part of October, Mr. J.B. Waring, 
 a gentleman of acknowledged taste and reputation, was appointed to direct that department. 
 
 Tt was determined to adopt the following general classification and arrange the 
 Exhibition in ten distinct departments, viz.:— 
 
 Pictures by Ancient Masters, 
 
 Pictures by Modern Masters, 
 
 British Portraits and Miniatures, 
 
 Water Colour Drawings, 
 
 Sketches and Original Drawings (Ancient), 
 
 Engravings, 
 
 Illustrations of Photography, 
 
 Works of Oriental Art, 
 
 Varied Objects of Oriental Art, 
 
 Sculpture. 
 
 The services of Mr. E. Holmes, M.A.,* were at this time secured for the purpose of 
 collecting and arranging the best examples of Water-Colour Drawings and Engravings, and 
 with a view of adding increased interest to the Museum of Art, Mr. J. M. Kemble-j- was 
 appointed to collect and arrange a Museum of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Antiquities, to illus* 
 trate the manners and customs of those times. 
 
 * Mr. Holmes died shortly after the opening of the Exhibition, to the great regret of the Executive Committee, and those 
 with whom he laboured in bringing it to a successful issue. 
 
 f Mr. Kemble, who laboured anxiously in the service of the Exhibition, died at Dublin, while in the discharge of his duty.

 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 Arrangements were also made with Mr. P. H. Delamotte, F.S.A., to undertake 
 the collection and arranging of Specimens of the Photographic Art, and to adopt such 
 measures as he might consider desirable to secure an attractive collection. 
 
 At a later period, Dr. Royle, F.R.S., was appointed to arrange the Collection of Indian 
 and Chinese Tapestry, Furniture, and Works of Decorative Art, &c., contributed by Her 
 Majesty the Queen, the Honourable East India Company, and many private individuals. 
 
 The famed Collection of Works of Decorative Art, formerly in the possession of M. Jules 
 Soulages of Toulouse, which had been purchased through the agency of a guarantee fund 
 subscribed in London, amounting to £24,800, and which was brought to London and exhibited 
 in Marlborough House, was of such a kind as to make it incumbent on the Committee to use 
 every exertion to have it placed in the Exhibition at Manchester; and after repeated com¬ 
 munications with the London managers which failed to secure its loan, the members of the 
 Executive Committee, in their individual capacity and on their personal responsibility, agreed 
 to purchase the Collection for £13,500, and thus secured it for the General Museum of Art 
 in the Art Treasures Exhibition. Mr. John Webb, who had been deputed to proceed to 
 Toulouse and report on the Collection for the original purchasers, was entrusted with its 
 removal to Manchester. 
 
 The expenses incurred before the end of 1856, had so far entrenched upon the 
 amount advanced by the Bank, that the Committee resolved to commence the issue of 
 Season Tickets. 
 
 Advertisements were inserted in the newspapers, intimating that two classes of 
 Season Tickets were to be issued,—one at £2 2s., entitling the proprietor to admission to the 
 Building upon all occasions when open to the public, including state ceremonials’; the 
 other, at £1 Is., entitling the proprietor to admission upon all occasions when the Exhi¬ 
 bition should be open to the public, except upon a limited number of days which were to 
 be duly advertised. The first Season Ticket was sold on the 16th of December, 1856. 
 
 It was also deemed expedient, to enhance the general attraction of the Exhibition, that 
 there should be a daily performance of music in the building. Tenders were received from 
 several eminent professors. The offers of Mr. Charles Halle, by which he undertook to form 
 a permanent Orchestra for daily performances, and choral performances at the Inauguration 
 of the Exhibition, and on other occasions, were ultimately accepted. 
 
 Contracts were also entered into for increased exhibiting accommodation at the west 
 end of the Building, by the erection of a Water Colour Gallery, 200 feet in length. The 
 position of the Refreshment Rooms was also determined. 
 
 An agreement was concluded with Mr. Donald for the supply of Refreshments. 
 
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

 This Department was divided into First and Second Class Rooms,— the First Class 
 Room adjoining the Open Court leading to the Botanical Gardens, the Second Class 
 Room adjoining the Railway Corridor leading into the Building. A capacious Tent 
 was subsequently joined to this apartment by the Contractor which was approached by a 
 passage leading to the south side of the Central Transept. 
 
 Communications were entered into with the Directors of the Manchester South Junction 
 and Altrincham Railway, who resolved to build a commodious Station connecting the 
 Building with the Railway by a corridor, at the end of which was a covered platform 
 800 feet long. 
 
 Before the close of the year much consideration had been given by the Committee to 
 the best means of securing the safe transit of the contributions from their respective places to 
 the Exhibition. It was evident that much of the success of the undertaking depended 
 upon the devising of an efficient and easy working system of packing, and upon the exer¬ 
 cise of the greatest caution and regularity on the part of the Railway Companies and other 
 carriers. The most experienced packers of pictures and objects of art throughout the country 
 and in London and Paris, were engaged. Circulars and instructions were issued to all 
 contributors, and detailed measurements received from them, which were duly registered 
 in the books of the Committee, in order that when the time arrived for collecting the 
 Treasures no unnecessary delay might occur, and as little inconvenience as possible be 
 occasioned to the owners or their servants. A fixed day was appointed for the collection of 
 each contribution, and the owner made acquainted with it, and the whole of this delicate 
 service was accomplished with the greatest care and remarkable dispatch, no accident of 
 any moment occurring in the transmission. A railway siding was laid down from the 
 Railway to the south side of the Central Transept, and at this point every package which 
 had been brought to Manchester by railway, from all parts of Great Britain, was received 
 under cover direct into the Building. 
 
 With Her Majesty’s contributions, special trains were run by the London and North- 
 Western Railway Company, direct from Windsor and London. 
 
 As several changes and additions had been made during the progress of these labours 
 the Committee may here with propriety again record the names of the several heads of 
 departments, and express their approval of the manner in which duties requiring great 
 knowledge, taste, and judgment, were performed by the several gentlemen employed. 
 
 The Galleries of the Works of Ancient Masters, and the collection of Original Drawings, 
 were under the control of Mr. George Scharf, who also classified and arranged the pictures, and 
 prepared the notices for this branch of the general catalogue. The hanging of the Modern 
 Pictures was entrusted to Mr. Egg, A.R.A., who as the opening of the Exhibition drew 
 near, enjoyed the valuable assistance and'experience of Mr. Creswick, R.A.

 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 To Mr. Peter Cunningham was assigned the direction of the British Portrait Gallery. 
 
 The General Museum of Art was under the able superintendence of Mr. J. B. Waring, 
 whose great skill, taste, and judgment were conspicuously displayed in the costly and instruc¬ 
 tive aggregate of the Museum, as well as in the admirable arrangement which permitted so 
 unparalleled a collection to be well seen and easily studied. 
 
 The arrangement of the Sculpture in the Main Hall was specially confided to 
 Mr. Robert Dudley 
 
 The Committee have to acknowledge with their best thanks the gratuitous and valu¬ 
 able assistance of Mr. J. R. Planche, who arranged the contributions of Armour from Her 
 Majesty’s private Collection and from the Tower, as also the celebrated Meyrick Collection, 
 which had been removed, en masse, from Goodrich Court; and they have also much pleasure 
 in recording their obligations to Mr. Dominic Colnaghi, who cordially co-operated with 
 Mr. Holmes, the director of the departments of Water-Colour Drawings and Engravings, 
 and whose persevering labours, judgment, and extensive knowledge contributed largely to 
 make the Exhibition of Engravings one of the most instructive, complete, and valuable 
 departments of the Exhibition. 
 
 On the 20th of February, the Committee were informed of the death of the 
 President of the Council, the Right Honourable the Earl of Ellesmere, K.G. At their 
 165th meeting the following resolutions were adopted:— 
 
 (Copy) 
 
 “ That this Committee record, with unfeigned sorrow, the great loss the Exhibition 
 has sustained in the death of its distinguished President of the Council, the Right 
 Hon. the Earl of Ellesmere, K.Gr.” 
 
 “That, joining in the universal expression of regret that the country has been 
 deprived of a life which was adorned by so many acts of kindness, benevolence, and 
 munificent patronage of the Fine Arts, the Committee would fail in gratitude if they 
 omitted to acknowledge the great value of the assistance and encouragement rendered 
 by the deceased nobleman to the undertaking entrusted to their management.” 
 
 Subsequently the office of President of the General Council was offered to and accepted 
 by the Right Honourable the Lord Overstone, who as has been already stated manifested 
 his early interest in the project by subscribing to the Guarantee Fund, and continued to 
 the close of the Exhibition, to render the Committee most valuable assistance. 
 
 The first packing case arrived in the Building on the 3rd of March. All the 
 picture cases were opened in a space railed off in the Central Transept. Those containing 
 
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 23 
 
 objects for the General Museum of Art were transferred at once to another portion of the 
 main building, under the immediate supervision of Mr. Waring and his principal assistant, 
 Mr Eedford. 
 
 Every object, as it was received, was labelled with the name of its owner and the 
 number of the case in which it had arrived, with the view of facilitating the work of 
 repacking, and the case, fstencillcd “empty,” was at once conveyed to the store. 
 
 This store, granted for the purpose by the London and North-Western Railway 
 Company was at some distance from the Exhibition, on the line of the Liverpool Railway, 
 and thus all danger from the proximity of a vast mass of inflammable material, was 
 avoided. 
 
 Nearly 3,000 packing cases were thus preserved without injury during the period the 
 Exhibition was open. On the 4th of May, 1857, every contribution was within the walls of 
 the Building, and the greater portion of the following immense aggregate of precious 
 Works of Art had been arranged and fixed in their several places:— 
 
 1,173 Ancient Pictures, 
 
 689 Modern Pictures, 
 
 386 Portraits, 
 
 969 Water-colour Drawings, 
 
 10,000 Objects of Art in the General Museum, 
 
 260 Sketches and Original Drawings, 
 
 1,475 Engravings, 
 
 500 Miniatures, 
 
 597 Photographs, and 
 63 Architectural Drawings. 
 
 160 Pieces of Sculpture. 
 
 It will be thus seen, that from the time the contractors first broke ground, the short 
 period of ten months had sufficed for the erection and decoration of a palace and its adjoining 
 buildings covering upwards of 18,000 square yards, and that 16,000 objects of Art had been 
 asked for, packed, conveyed without accident from all parts of the United Kingdom, classi¬ 
 fied, and arranged, for the instruction and enjoyment of the visitors to the Exhibition.

 II.—THE PUBLIC CEREMONIALS. 
 
 The deep interest which had been manifested by the public in the almost daily accounts 
 of the progress of the undertaking which had been afforded by the press, necessitated that 
 every effort should be made to inaugurate the Exhibition with as much formal ceremony as 
 possible, and in a manner worthy of its national importance. Communications had been 
 made to His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, soliciting the honour of his presiding on 
 the occasion, and His Royal Highness had graciously complied with the wishes of the 
 Committee ; but as the time for opening approached serious alarm was felt that the then 
 precarious state of health of the Duchess of Gloucester might possibly interfere with 
 His Royal Highness’s intention, and deprive the Exhibition of the great benefit 
 of so important and imposing a commencement. Unhappily, as is known, the 
 death of the Royal Duchess did occur on the 30th of April, and the .fulfilment by 
 the Prince Consort of his engagement towards the Exhibition and the Committee, 
 notwithstanding the melancholy event, will long be remembered as a most delicate recognition 
 of the importance of the occasion, and a most generous sacrifice of private feeling for the 
 fulfilment of a public duty. The Exhibition was inaugurated on the 5th of May, 1857, and 
 the formal visit of Her Majesty the Queen was made on the 30th of Juue. 
 
 The official programmes of the ceremonials observed at the opening of the Exhibition 
 and at the visit of Her Majesty the Queen are given in an Appendix. The Committee 
 therefore content themselves with recording here the addresses and replies which were read 
 on both occasions.

 ADDRESS FROM THE CORFORATION OF THE CITY OF MANCHESTER. 
 
 “ To His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, K.G. 
 
 “May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens 
 of the City of Manchester, gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded by the 
 visit of your Royal Highness to renew the expression of our regard for your Royal 
 Highness, and of our admiration of the many public and private virtues by which your 
 Royal Highness is eminently distinguished. 
 
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 25 
 
 “ We offer to your Royal Highness our most hearty congratulations on the recent 
 safe and auspicious birth of a princess, and we fervently pray that the valuable life of 
 Her Most Gracious Majesty, happily preserved, may be long continued to be as here¬ 
 tofore a blessing to her family and her people. 
 
 “ While we refer with pride to the occasion which has induced your Royal Highness 
 to re-visit our City, we feel imperatively called upon to express our warmest gratitude 
 to your Royal Highness for having cordially consented to honour by your presence 
 the opening of the magnificent building in which we stand—raised by the public spirit 
 and spontaneous liberality of our fellow citizens, for the reception of many of the 
 priceless treasures of ancient and modern Art, existing in the United Kingdom. 
 
 “We rejoice in the complete success which has attended the efforts of those upon 
 whom the responsibility of this undertaking has devolved,—a success which has ex¬ 
 ceeded the most sanguine anticipations, and which we attribute mainly to the 
 condescending and zealous patronage graciously extended by our beloved sovereign. 
 
 “The encouraging example afforded by Her Most Gracious Majesty and your Royal 
 Highness, in thus zealously supporting an exhibition originating in a desire to 
 instruct and gratify the people, has been emulated in the noblest spirit of liberality by 
 the possessors of Art Treasures throughout the kingdom, and the promoters have thus 
 been enabled to congratulate themselves on the splendid realisation of their purposes 
 which is presented iu the imposing spectacle around us. 
 
 “ As representatives of the vast population by whom we are surrounded, we venture 
 most respectfully to assure your Royal Highness, that we hail with the greatest joy and 
 satisfaction the intimation that it is the gracious intention of Her Majesty the Queen to 
 honour the Exhibition with a royal visit. 
 
 “We especially rejoice in the hope of this event as affording another opportunity 
 of evincing the deep and universal feeling of loyalty and attachment to Her Majesty’s 
 person which prevails within and around this City, and the profound sense of gratitude 
 which exists for the care and solicitude ever graciously manifested by our beloved 
 Queen in favour of whatever is calculated to secure and promote the improvement 
 and happiness of Her Majesty’s subjects. 
 
 “ That your Royal Highness may be long spared to secure and increase the happi¬ 
 ness of our most gracious Queen, and to be a blessing to your children and to the 
 nation, is our most fervent prayer. 
 
 “ Given under the common seal of the corporation this twenty-ninth day of April,

 REPLY OF Ills ROYAL HIGHNESS. 
 
 “ Mr. Mayor, Aldermen, and Gentlemen,—I have received, with feelings of no 
 ordinary gratification, the address which you have presented to me, expressing such 
 kindly feelings towards myself, and professing to represent the good wishes of the 
 vast community which is collected in and around this City. 
 
 “ It will, I am sure, he most pleasing to the Queen, to receive, from the expression, 
 contained in the address, a fresh assurance of the loyal interest taken hy her people in 
 all that concerns her happiness. 
 
 “ I most willingly attend here, this day, to assist at a ceremony which the inhabitants 
 of Manchester may well Avitness with pride, as its object is to inaugurate an Exhibition, 
 collected by the exertion of their enterprise and public spirit, and intended, not for 
 the amusement and gratification of the neighbourhood alone, but for the instruction 
 and improvement of the nation at large. 
 
 “ You justly allude, in terms of gratitude, to that comprehensive and liberal spirit 
 which has adorned the walls of this building with the choicest specimens of Art, from 
 so many private galleries of the kingdom. It added much to the pleasure with Avhich 
 the Queen and myself had complied with the application for Works of Art belonging 
 to us, when we found this example so generally followed by the possessors of Treasures 
 which are, in general, so reluctantly entrusted by their owners to the care of others. 
 
 “The Queen will, I am confident, be glad again to visit Manchester, not only to 
 mark by her presence her approval of the object and successful execution of this great 
 undertaking which we have this day to celebrate, but from a recollection of the 
 enthusiastic loyalty exhibited when she had formerly an opportunity of visiting this 
 great centre of industry.” 
 
 THE ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE EXHIBITION. 
 
 “ To His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, K.G.

 arrangements of this great undertaking, I approach your Royal Highness with the

 expression of our deep sense of obligation for the constant interest which your Royaj 
 Highness has taken in the success of the Exhibition now about to be opened for the 
 gratification and instruction of the public. 
 
 “ Before however we enter upon the more formal proceedings of this day, we beg 
 to tender to your Royal Highness our sincere condolence on the event which has 
 brought sorrow to Her Most Gracious Majesty our Queen, to your Royal Highness, 
 and to the Members of the Royal Family, and which has at the same time caused deep 
 regret to Her Majesty’s subjects who have long admired the virtues and respected the 
 character of Her late Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester. 
 
 “In the presence of your Royal Highness amongst us under these painful circum¬ 
 stances, and the decision of your Royal Highness not to suspend the ceremonial of this 
 day, we gratefully recognise a delicate consideration of the importance of the occasion, 
 and a gracious desire not to disappoint the vast numbers who must have made arrange¬ 
 ments which it would have been impossible to postpone. At the same time we 
 respectfully appreciate and sympathise with those feelings which cause your Royal 
 Highness to desire to remain, in all other respects, in the strictest privacy. 
 
 “OVERSTONE, 
 
 “ President of the General Council.” 
 
 REPLY OF IIIS ROYAL HIGHNESS. 
 
 “ My Lord and Gentlemen,—You are very kind in thinking at this moment of the 
 bereavement which has befallen the Queen and her family. 
 
 “ In the Duchess of Gloucester we have all lost not only the last of the children of 
 that good king who occupied the throne during sixty years, and carried this country 
 fearlessly and successfully through the most momentous struggles of its history—and 
 thus the last personal link with those times, but also a lady whose virtues and qualities 
 of the heart had commanded the respect and love of all who knew her. 
 
 “ If I have thought it my duty to attend here to-day, although her mortal remains 
 have not yet been carried to their last place of rest, my decision has been rendered 
 easy by the conviction, that could her own opinions and wishes have been known, she 
 would, with that sense of duty and patriotic feeling which so much distinguished her, 
 and the generation to which she belonged, have been anxious that I should not on her 
 account, or from private feelings, disturb an arrangement intended for the public 
 good.”

 EXHIBITION OE ART TREASURES. 
 
 ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 “ To His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, K.G. 
 
 “ May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Executive Committee for conducting 
 the Exhibition of Art Treasures of the United Kingdom, appointed to our present offices 
 at a meeting of the General Council of the Exhibition, held on the 20th day of May 
 1856, humbly approach your Royal Highness on the auspicious occasion of your pre¬ 
 siding at this inaugural ceremony, to lay before your Royal Highness a short account 
 of the history and progress of the undertaking to the present time. 
 
 “ Before alluding to our actual proceedings, we would ask permission to remark 
 that this great gathering of the most precious and remarkable Works of Art in the 
 United Kingdom may be considered the legitimate offspring of that happy suggestion 
 for the instruction and enjoyment of vast masses of our fellow-creatures of all classes 
 and countries, and for the good of all mankind, which, originating with your Royal 
 Highness, had so glorious a triumph in the success of the Great Exhibition'of the 
 Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851. The interchange of knowledge which 
 that magnificent undertaking, and its equally magnificent successor—the French 
 Exhibition of 1855,—effected, has already proved of the greatest value in advancing the 
 art of design, and promoting all branches of human industry. Both those arenas of 
 peaceful rivalry—so vivid in their contrasts to the more exciting international contests 
 which we have since witnessed—were remarkable, as regards the English element, for 
 two broadly-defined features; they showed to the world at large our best customers, the 
 peculiar excellencies of many of those great staple manufactures which employ and feed 
 the industrial population of these islands ; and they showed to ourselves our own defi¬ 
 ciencies in matters of taste and design. Whilst therefore there was a mutual gain, 
 and there sprung up a kindlier international feeling, there originated also a desire for 
 the acquirement on the one hand of a knowledge of the useful, and on the other an 
 appreciation of the beautiful. 
 
 “ The promoters of the present Exhibition conceived it possible to carry the bene¬ 
 ficent intentions of their predecessors in such undertakings one step further. The 
 project of a purely Fine Art Exhibition on a great scale appeared at first sight, to say 
 the least of it, somewhat problematical as regards its financial success. But when the 
 subject was sifted, when it was found how comprehensive were its details and applica¬ 
 tion, how wonderfully rich our happy country (untrodden for many a century by any 
 foreign invader), unquestionably is in all that unequalled wealth and civilisation could 
 accumulate, and how much positive and immediate good was likely to result from the 
 bringing together of the eager and inquiring minds of our time, with the realisations 
 of the genius of past ages and other countries—the project assumed a proportion of 
 importance which at once commanded attention, and cried aloud for fulfilment. 
 
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 29 
 
 “ The first suggestion of the Art Treasures Exhibition was submitted by Mr. Deane, 
 the General Commissioner of the Exhibition, to an influential meeting of Manchester 
 gentlemen, on the 26th day of March 1856. The scheme was favourably received, 
 and, dependent upon the success of the application for public support in the way of sub¬ 
 scription, was voted into existence. And here we would request your Royal Highness’s 
 special attention to a remarkable feature in the history of this undertaking. Without 
 any public appeal, without even a general local canvass, contributions to a guarantee 
 fund amounting to not less than £74,000, were raised in this city within a period of 
 three weeks. From this fact we would draw the inference that the promoters of all 
 schemes professing to commend themselves by their intrinsic merits to public approval, 
 need not and ought not to be deterred from promulgating their patriotic efforts by the 
 lack of positive money gifts, but would rather do well to test the sterling value of 
 their conceptions by this form of appeal for the guarantee of the whole expenditure 
 required. 
 
 “ Upon the completion of the guarantee fund, and after having obtained the patronage 
 of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and the marked and special encouragement 
 of your Royal Highness, we at once invited designs for a building suited to the 
 purposes of the Exhibition. After a careful consideration of the designs and estimates 
 sent in to us, in competition, that of Messrs. C. D. Young and Co., of Edinburgh, was 
 finally selected. The building works, notwithstanding the intervention of winter 
 months, having been brought to a timely and satisfactory completion; the interior 
 decorations were entrusted to Mr. Crace, of London ; and we venture to hope that, as 
 regards their appropriateness for the favourable display of Works of Art, the Com¬ 
 mittee’s decision, in both respects, will meet your Royal Highness’s approval. 
 
 “ We gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity of conveying, through your Royal 
 Highness, to our most gracious Sovereign, the expression of our profound gratitude for 
 the cordial and most munificent patronage and support which Her Majesty has 
 vouchsafed to our labours. Her Majesty’s loyal subjects, in this part of her dominions, 
 will recognise, in the variety, splendour, and rare excellence of Her Majesty’s con¬ 
 tributions to the Exhibition, another evidence of their Sovereign’s unceasing desire for 
 the advancement of her people’s true interests and welfare. We would also respectfully 
 tender to your Royal Highness our grateful thanks for the valuable assistance and 
 advice we have on numerous occasions received from your Royal Highness. 
 
 “ Without the support and co-operation of the owners of Art Treasures throughout 
 the kingdom, our undertaking would as a matter of course have failed. The character 
 and excellence of the contributions by which your Royal Highness is now surrounded, 
 and the value of the property deposited in this building by so many contributors, 
 form the noblest testimony to the patriotic and unselfish character of our countrymen 
 
so

 of all ranks. We believe so general an evidence of self-denial, and the sacrifice of 
 personal convenience for the public good, to be without a parallel, and we sincerely 
 feel how inadequate is the language at our command to express what is due from us 
 to all, for the generous support that has been accorded to us. 
 
 “In connection with our proceedings, we would very briefly refer to the circum¬ 
 stances under which one very important feature of the Exhibition, the well known 
 historic Museum of Works of Decorative Art, collected by M. Soulage, of Toulouse, 
 has found its way to Manchester. Upon the refusal by Her Majesty’s government, 
 to purchase this choice collection at prime cost, we considered we were acting in the 
 true interests of Art in volunteering on our individual responsibilities to purchase 
 the collection upon the terms that had just been refused. We desired that a collec¬ 
 tion of so high an educational value to our artisans should have the benefit of the 
 widest possible examination ; and we would express a confident hope that it may yet 
 be preserved in its entirety after the close of this Exhibition, for more general public 
 instruction. 
 
 “We cannot close this address without expressing a hope that, in the language 
 used by your Royal Highness in the letter you addressed to our lamented President, 
 the late Earl of Ellesmere, a national usefulness will result from the educational 
 direction which we have endeavoured to impart to the whole scheme. 
 
 “ On behalf of the Executive Committee, 
 
 “THOMAS FAIRBAIRN, 
 
 “ Chairman.” 
 
 REPLY OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS. 
 
 “ Gentlemen of the Executive Committee,—I thank you most sincerely for your 
 kind address. 
 
 “The expressions of loyalty and attachment to the Queen which it conveys, will, I 
 feel certain, be most gratifying to her. 
 
 “ I have with pleasure accepted your invitation to preside at the inaugural ceremony 
 of an undertaking which I have watched with the deepest interest from its first 
 conception; and I may now be allowed to congratulate you upon the success which 
 has so far crowned your labours. 
 
 “The building in which we are assembled, and the wonderful collection of 
 these Treasures of Art, as you so justly term them, which it displays, reflect the

 highest credit upon you. They must strike the beholder with grateful admiration, 
 not only of the wealth and spirit of enterprise of this country, but also of that generous 
 feeling of mutual confidence and goodwill between the different classes of society within 
 it, of which it affords so gratifying a proof. 
 
 “We behold a feast which the rich, and those who have set before those to 
 whom fortune has denied the higher luxuries of life—bringing forth from the inner¬ 
 most recesses of their private dwellings their choicest and most cherished treasures, 
 and entrusting them to your care in order to gratify the nation at large;—and this 
 too, unhesitatingly,—at your mere request, satisfied that your plans were disinterested 
 and well matured, and that they had the good of the country for their object. 
 
 “This is a gratifying sight—and blessed is the country in which it is witnessed! 
 But not less so is the fact which has shown itself in this as in other instances, that the 
 great and noble of the land look to their Sovereign to head and lead them in such 
 patriotic undertakings; and when they see that the Sovereign has come forward to 
 give her countenance and assistance to the work, that they feel it a pleasure to co¬ 
 operate with her, and not to leave her without their support—emulating thus, in works 
 of peace, the chivalric spirit which animated the works of their forefathers in the warlike 
 times of old. 
 
 “You have done well not to aim at a mere accumulation of Works of Art and 
 objects of general interest, but to give to your collection, by a scientific and historical 
 arrangement, an educational character; thus not losing the opportunity of teaching 
 the mind, as well as gratifying the senses; and manifold are the lessons which it will 
 present to us. If Art is the purest expression of the state of mental and religious 
 culture, and of general civilisation of any age or people, an historical and chronological 
 review given at one glance cannot fail to impress us with a just appreciation of the 
 peculiar characteristics of the different periods and countries, the works of which are 
 here exhibited to us, and of the influence which they have exercised upon each other. 
 
 “ In comparing these works with those of our own age and country while we 
 may well be proud of the immense development of knowledge, and power of produc¬ 
 tion, which we possess, we have reason also for humility in contemplating the 
 refinement of feeling and intensity of thought manifested in the works of the older 
 schools. 
 
 “ I trust that you may reap in the approbation of the public at large, and in 
 the remunerative concourse of the people, the immediate reward of your labours; 
 and that like the Exhibition of 1851, to which you so flatteringly allude, you may 
 thus also find the means of closing your operations without having recourse to the 
 Guarantee Fund which this district has so generously put at your disposal. 
 
32 
 
 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 “ Beyond this however I trust that the beneficial effects upon the progress of Art 
 and taste in our country, which we may confidently look to, may be a lasting memorial 
 of your vast enterprise.” 
 
 The Committee also append the prayer read by the Lord Bishop of Manchester on this 
 occasion:— 
 
 “ Almighty God, in whose works we see combined all that is most grand in con¬ 
 ception, skilful in adaptation, and beautiful in execution, who hast given to us, Thy 
 creatures, the power in some degree to recognise and adore Thy infinite perfections, 
 bless we beseech Thee this work in which we are engaged, and prosper this, our 
 undertaking, to the advancement of Thy glory, and the intellectual, moral, and 
 spiritual good of Thy servants. Enable those who shall here regard these settings 
 forth of subjects taken from Thy Holy Word, or representations of Thy works, or 
 other manifestations of the several gifts and powers Thou hast entrusted to man, so 
 to select and note whatever may lead them to a fuller recognition of Thy goodness, 
 and to eschew whatever is contrary to or derogating from the same ; that, led by 
 Thy spirit into all truth, they may show forth the blessed result in increased love of 
 Thee, in renewed purity of life and conversation. Grant that this undertaking may 
 be made available to the exalting our national character, the chastening and elevating 
 our taste, that, in all that is good and beautiful, acknowledging Thee, the author of 
 all good gifts, we may the more readily obey with willingness Thy laws, and walk in 
 Thy commandments. And as this undertaking is intended for the good of many so 
 may it too contribute to draw them together in mutual love and kindness, the wealthier 
 who have provided here the means of instruction and improvement, uniting in seeking 
 to promote the common good, the less favoured in estate joyfully receiving and thank¬ 
 fully participating in the opportunities and advantages accorded to them in this 
 place. While we behold the various degrees and kinds of excellence which the 
 imagination, learning, skill, or industry of men have at any time attained to, let us 
 ever remember that all that is good is of Thee done, that, without Thee, nothing is 
 strong, nothing is holy. ‘ Not unto us, 0 Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give 
 the praise/ (Psalm cxv. 10.) 
 
 “We acknowledge with thankfulness that Thou hast defended us from the perils of 
 war, and pray Thee so to continue Thy mercies towards us that all the world may 
 know that Thou art our Saviour and Mighty Deliverer. Grant to us Thy grace, that 
 henceforth, living a quiet and peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty, and culti¬ 
 vating the arts of peace, we may continually offer to Thee our sacrifice of praise and 
 thanksgiving for Thy mercies ; and as it pleased Thee of old to fill Thy chosen 
 servant with Thy spirit, 4 in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowedge, and 
 in all manner of workmanship, to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in 
 silver, and in brass, and in cutting of stones to set them, and in ‘carving’ of timber, 
 to work in all manner of workmanship’ (Exodus xxxi. 2) to the declaration of Thy

 glory, so raayest Tliou continue those Thy gifts to us, yet ever leading us to seek in 
 spiritual understanding that more excellent knowledge, before which we shall count 
 all things but loss. We bless Thee for our gracious Sovereign, and implore Thee to 
 vouchsafe Thy goodness that in the fulness of Thy favour, she, with her Royal 
 Consort, and the other members of the Royal Family, may be permitted to bring to 
 good effect the good desires Thou puttest into their minds, for the well-being of 
 those among whom they live. And finally we would beseech Thee to have mercy 
 upon all men, and especially upon Thy holy catholic church throughout the world, 
 that through Thy grace setting forth the knowledge of Thee, confirming the faithful, 
 strengthening the weak, and enlightening the ignorant, it may bind all men together 
 in peace and goodwill, love and charity, so to use together the good things which 
 Thou bestowest on earth, as to prepare them for that eternal manifestation of Thy 
 glory, which Thou hast promised to Thy faithful servants, through Jesus Christ, our 
 only Lord and Saviour, to whom with Thee and the Holy Ghost, belong ‘ the great¬ 
 ness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty for ever and ever.' 
 (1st Corinthians xxix. 11.)—Amen.”

 ADDRESS OF T11E EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 
 
 “ To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. 
 
 “ May it please your Majesty,— 
 
 “We, the Executive Committee for conducting the Exhibition of Art Treasures of 
 the United Kingdom, humbly approach your Majesty with sentiments of devoted 
 loyalty and attachment to your person and throne. We tender to your Majesty our 
 grateful acknowledgment, not only for the early encouragement which your Majesty 
 and your illustrious Royal Consort extended to our undertaking, but for the muni¬ 
 ficent, valuable, and most instructive contributions, which are to be found in this 
 Exhibition through your Majesty’s favour. Deeply sensible that the duties of royal 
 patronage in no way demanded so marked an indication of your Majesty’s approval, 
 it is most gratifying to us to acknowledge how great a part of our success is due to 
 the influence of the royal example upon others; and with honourable pride we 
 would venture to regard this ceremonial as the crowning evidence of your Majesty’s 
 continued confidence in the disinterestedness of the promoters of the Exhibition, 
 and in the national usefulness of their aim.

 “ The achievements of the genius of all countries, ami the productions of ages of 
 thought and patient research, which are gathered within these walls, speak con¬ 
 vincingly of the wealth, the lengthened prosperity, and the present social happiness 
 of the country which possesses them. 
 
 “ The suggestion of His Royal Highness the Prince Consort that these treasures 
 should be so arranged as to instruct the mind as well as please the eye, has been 
 adopted; and we sincerely hope that the example of your Majesty’s presence here 
 this day, at so early a period after the opening of the Exhibition, will appeal 
 powerfully to all your Majesty’s subjects, and induce all ranks, both high and low, 
 to gather here those lessons which nothing else teaches so forcibly as Art—to the 
 ignorant, refinement,—to the proud, humility. 
 
 “We most cordially and respectfully thank your Majesty for the especial favour 
 of this visit; and we fervently pray that health and happiness may long attend 
 upon your Majesty, your Royal Consort, and every member of the Royal Family.

 “I receive with great satisfaction the assurance which you have on this occasion 
 offered me of devoted attachment to my throne and person. 
 
 “I thank you sincerely for the warm interest which you have expressed in all 
 that concerns my own welfare and that of my family, and for your congratula¬

 our earnest hope that the utmost anticipations of such happiness may be fully realised.

 HER MAJESTY’S GRACIOUS REPLY. 
 
 “ I am much gratified by the assurance of devoted attachment which you have con¬ 
 veyed to me in your address, and which I receive as an additional proof of the uni¬ 
 versal feeling of loyalty prevailing within and around this great city. 
 
 “ I sincerely thank you for the affectionate wishes which you have expressed for 
 my happiness, and for that of my family. 
 
 “ It affords me the highest satisfaction to be present on this occasion, and to assure 
 you of the deep interest which I feel in the success of an undertaking which reflects 
 so much credit on its promoters, and is so well adapted not only to delight, but to 
 instruct and improve all who visit the valuable Treasures of Art collected within 
 this building.” 
 
 The Queen and the other members of the Royal Family paid a lengthened private 
 visit to the Exhibition on Wednesday the 1st of July, and carefully inspected theVarious 
 departments. The public was rigidly excluded from the Building until after Her 
 Majesty’s departure. At later periods of the year the Exhibition was honoured with 
 visits from His Majesty the King of the Belgians, accompanied by the Princess Marie 
 Charlotte and the Comte de Flandres : Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands: 
 His Imperial Highness the Prince Napoleon: their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of 
 Cambridge, the Princess Mary, and the Duke of Cambridge: and the Comte de Paris, 
 the Duke de Nemours, and many other members of the Orleans family. 
 
38 
 
 EXHIBITION OP ART TREASURES. 
 
 The character and important aim of the Exhibition did not fail to attract much 
 attention in foreign countries. His Majesty the Emperor of the French deputed the 
 Comte de Niewerkerke, Director of the Imperial Academy of the Louvre, to visit Man¬ 
 chester and report upon the collection; and various commissions from other foreign 
 Governments were sent over with a similar object. The attendance of foreign visitors 
 was unusually large,—the fame of the Works of Art known to be possessed in England 
 being perhaps more widely diffused on the continent than amongst ourselves—and the 
 concentration of the most remarkable of them at Manchester afforded an opportunity 
 for their examination and study such as had never before occurred, and was not likely 
 again to offer itself to the present generation. 
 
 The Exhibition was finally closed to the public on the 17th of October 1857, having 
 been open 142 days. No ceremonial marked the final proceedings, but an unusually 
 large number of visitors thronged the various halls and courts throughout the day. At 
 half-past four o’clock the Band played the National Anthem, as a signal that the last 
 hour of the Exhibition had come, and the visitors having gathered round the orchestra 
 at the conclusion of the anthem, the Chairman of the Executive Committee closed the 
 Exhibition in these words :— 
 
 “ Ladies and Gentlemen,—The time has come when it is my duty to pronounce 
 the last few words of farewell, and to inform you that when you have all retired 
 from this Building, the Exhibition of Art Treasures will be at an end for ever. 
 I sincerely hope you will never forget the liberality and generous confidence which 
 enabled that Exhibition to be formed, and that the recollection of this building 
 and the unrivalled collection it contains will assert amongst you all the truth of 
 the poet’s line— 
 
 A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.”

 III.—FINANCIAL RESULT AND GENERAL STATISTICS OF THE 
 
 EXHIBITION. 
 
 Having thus simply sketched the history of the Exhibition from its organization to 
 its close to the public, it remains to direct attention to various statistics and results 
 which are full of interest, and may be studied in detail in the various appendices, 
 and to refer shortly to the proceedings of the Committee in arranging for the safe 
 return of the contributions to their respective owners, the removal of the Building, and 
 the realization of its value. 
 
 The Building and its Decoration. 
 
 The original contract with Messrs. C. D. Young and Co. for the Exhibition Building 
 proper, was for the sum of £24,500. The general plan of the Building was in the form 
 of a parallelogram, 700 feet long by 200 feet wide, its length being in the direction from 
 east to west, and the southern side being about 250 feet distant from the Railway. This 
 space was roofed over by five roofs running in the direction of the length of the Building, 
 the two outer ones being semicircular, and each 45 feet span; the centre one also semi¬ 
 circular, and 56 feet span; and the intermediate ones of the ordinary hip construction, 
 and each 24 feet span. At a distance of 460 feet from the main or east entrance, the 
 centre and the 24 feet roofs were turned right and left, thus forming a transept in the 
 Building of 104 feet in width. The roofs were carried by cast-iron supports or columns, 
 so arranged, that the avenues, 48 feet wide, had each a height at the centre of 48 feet; 
 those 24 feet wide, a height of 24 feet; and the centre arch, over the main hall, a height 
 of 65 feet. The outer side walls of the Building were made of corrugated iron, and by 
 an ingenious adaptation, the sheets were fitted into the cast-iron supports and fixed 
 there, so as to be completely water-tight, without bolts or rivets, and without any injury 
 being done to the plates themselves. The inner walls of both Picture Galleries were 
 made of wood framed between the iron columns, and covered on both sides by boarding. 
 Along the centre of each roof, and continuing its entire length, was a sky-light, having 
 generally an opening equal to one-third of the span of the roof. In the Picture Galleries 
 the light was thus admitted entirely from above and at an elevation much above the 
 hanging line of the pictures. The system was entirely successful, and called forth the 
 unqualified approval of every competent judge of this most essential feature in a good 
 
40 
 
 EXHIBITION OP ART TREASURES. 
 
 gallery for paintings. The correct proportion of light opening—viz., one-third of the 
 floor space—appeared to be hit upon, and owing to the great height of the saloons, 
 the light became so diffused, that there was no glare in one place more than another and 
 positively no shadow. During the summer months the whole of the sky-lights in the 
 Picture Galleries were covered externally with calico, to protect the paintings from the 
 effects of the sun’s rays. 
 
 The principals of the roof of the Central Hall and Transept were made of plate 
 iron 16 inches deep, and were in fact bent girders. They were spaced 12 feet apart, 
 the columns in the Hall being at intervals of 24 feet, and connected at the top by 
 trellis or lattice girders of wrought iron, so that the centre of each trellis girder 
 carried one end of an intermediate principal. The simplicity of this mode of construc¬ 
 tion was productive of the best possible effect, and it is to be recommended for 
 lightness and elegance as very superior to the system of principal with tie rods and 
 braces, adopted in the roofs over the Picture Galleries. Messrs. Young’s original design 
 contemplated only single columns carrying the roof in the Main Hall. During the 
 construction of the building these were found to be insufficient in strength, and a second 
 column was introduced throughout and bracketed to the original one with great advantage 
 not only to the solidity of the building but to the general architectural effect. 
 
 It was found necessary to line the building internally, both walls and roofs, with 
 boarding, for the security of the pictures and other works of art as well as for the satis¬ 
 factory accomplishment of the decoration. Upon this boarding calico was tightly stretched 
 and nailed, and upon this again was placed a covering either of ornamental paper, or of 
 plain paper for the reception of painting or other decorative designs. 
 
 The building was laid with open flooring, and numerous partition walls were built in 
 all directions underneath, principally as a precaution against fire. There was a Gallery at 
 the east end of the building across the Main Hall, and the Transept was also surrounded 
 by Galleries twenty-four feet wide. The space at the west end of the main building, which 
 was originally intended to be devoted to the service of the refreshment department, was 
 changed into saloons for the exhibition of water colour drawings. These rooms were 
 lighted like the Main Galleries, from above. By these means the total floor space for 
 exhibiting purposes was increased to 19,000 square yards. The fagade of the building 
 up to the springing of the roof arches was in red and white bricks, and was designed by 
 Mr. E. Salomons. The ends of the three semi-circular roofs were filled in with ornamental 
 designs, executed in wood, iron, and glass. The Corridor connecting the Exhibition with 
 the Eailway Station was built at the joint expense of the Railway Company and the Com¬ 
 mittee. The position of the First and Second Class Refreshment Rooms, Retiring Rooms, 
 Kitchens, and Stores, will be seen on reference to the General Ground Plan which accompanies 
 this Report. These additional works were all performed by Messrs. C. D. Young and Co. ? 
 and with road-making, drainage, &c., increased the total payments made to that firm to the

 sum of £39,001. Other works and fittings connected with the building were entrusted to 
 local contractors, and to Mr. J. 0. Crace, of London, is due the entire merit of the internal 
 decorations, which were universally admitted to he most appropriate and successful. 
 
 The suite of rooms intended for the reception of Her Majesty and other Royal visitors 
 were decorated and furnished by Messrs. Jackson and Graham, of London, the Committee 
 paying £200 only towards the cost. 
 
 On more than one occasion the Committee received the professional advice of Mr. 
 William Fairbairn, F.R.S., Mr. John Walters, and Mr. D. Bellhouse, and they desire to 
 record their best thanks for the valuable and gratuitous assistance offered by those gentlemen. 
 
 Various statistics relating to the building and its decorations will be found in 
 Appendix No. XXIII. 
 
 Precautions against Fire . Water Supply. 
 
 At a very early period this important subject engaged the earnest attention of the 
 Committee. Although the frame-work of the Building was constructed of incombustible 
 materials, it was impossible to consider the structure in any degree fire-proof. Indeed, 
 in order to avoid damage to the Works of Art from internal condensation and dripping, 
 it was found necessary, during the progress of the Building, to line it entirely with wood; 
 and the most evident security from danger by fire was the adoption of every means of 
 precaution to prevent its outbreak or spread. 
 
 The corporation of the City laid a water-main of increased size along the Stretford Road, 
 and details of the arrangements in and around the Building will be found in Appendix 
 No. XV., and the plan which accompanies it. 
 
 Insurance. 
 
 To be indemnified against loss in case of accident appeared only a reasonable 
 demand on the part of the owners of precious Works of Art, when asked to part with them 
 for many months, and incur the risk of their transit to and from Manchester. A very 
 short experience in their proceedings, however, sufficed to convince the Committee that 
 it would be utterly impracticable to concede such demands in any extended degree, and 
 that to insure the value of the hoped-for contributions against all risk would absorb 
 more money than was likely to be received from all the visitors to the Exhibition. 
 Contributors were readily satisfied of the truth of this position, and with the promise 
 of the Committee that every precaution shoul 1 be adopted to prevent injury; viz. the 
 F 
 
42 
 
 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 employment of none but the most experienced packers, the conclusion of special 
 arrangements with the several ltailway Companies and Carriers, an abundant water 
 supply, and constant watch against the risk of fire. A large outlay was saved to the 
 Exhibition by this liberality; and the Committee record with satisfaction, that no serious 
 accident of any kind occurred, and that the various works exhibited were returned with 
 marvellous accuracy, and in general good condition. The total amount paid for insurance 
 was £1,958 15s. 4d. (vide Appendices Nos. III. and IV.) 
 
 Prices of Admission. 
 
 The prices of the two classes of season tickets have been already referred to. The num¬ 
 ber sold will be found in Appendix No. XVI. For ten days after the opening the daily price of 
 admission was Half-a-crown ; during the remainder of the Exhibition the charge for admis¬ 
 sion on Thursday was invariably Half-a-crown, and on the other days in the week the 
 charge was One Shilling. The Committee however tried the experiment of reducing the 
 entrance money to sixpence on Saturday afternoons after two o’clock, being the day when 
 owing to the general half holiday, they believed the working classes could most conveniently 
 attend. The success of the experiment did not justify its lengthened continuance. 
 
 Visitors. 
 
 Appendix No. I. gives the daily return of the number of visitors, and the amount 
 received at the doors. The total number of visits registered at the turnstiles was 1 ,33G,715, of 
 which 1,053,538 paid at the doors, and the remainder, 283,177, were admitted by season tickets. 
 The largest attendance on anyone day was on the 13th October 1857, when close upon 
 30,000 visits were registered. The Committee cannot refrain from remarking, that in their 
 opinion the total admissions to the Exhibition would have been considerably larger had the 
 various Railway Companies commenced at an earlier period of the year a system of cheap 
 excursion trains from various parts of the kingdom direct to the Exhibition. It will be remem¬ 
 bered that in one of their earliest Reports the Committee stated that they had been largely 
 guided in the selection of the site of the Exhibition, by the facilities which it appeared to 
 offer for a convenient and large direct railway traffic, and by the promises of support in this 
 direction which in the commencement were held out to them by the several companies. In 
 Appendix No. VI. will be found an approximate but tolerably accurate estimate of the direct 
 excursion traffic, whilst in Appendix No. X. there is given an interesting return, furnished by 
 Mr. Greenwood, of the numbers conveyed to and from Old Trafford by the admirably organ¬ 
 ized and well conducted system of omnibuses which was specially created for the occasion.— 
 A comparison of the two will show that much more might readily have been done by the 
 railways. 
 
REPORT OP EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

 Police Arrangements. 
 
 In Appendix No. XIV. is given a Report from Captain Palin, Chief Constable of Man¬ 
 chester, of the number of police engaged in preserving order and watching the building and 
 its contents by day and night. The men belonged to the Police force of the City of 
 Manchester, and although apparently few in number when compared with what was con¬ 
 sidered necessary at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and elsewhere, were found to be amply 
 sufficient for all purposes. A commodious police barracks was erected within the Exhibition 
 grounds. The police on duty within the building were under the immediate superintendence 
 of Mr. Pearce, who had held a similarly responsible position in connexion with the Exhibition 
 of 1851, and who performed the onerous and delicate duties of the office in Manchester to the 
 Committee’s entire satisfaction. 
 
 The Committee refer with sincere gratification to the small number and petty nature of 
 the offences committed within the building as a convincing proof of the orderly conduct of 
 the visitors, and of the fact that large crowds are best managed by few directors. No single 
 object exhibited was stolen, nor so far as the Committee are aware was any felonious 
 attempt made upon any of the property of the exhibitors. The property left or lost by visitors 
 which came into the hands of the police, is tabulated in Appendix No. XIII. It will be seen that 
 nearly everything of value was returned to the owners. The general superintendence of the 
 Building, in reference to its cleanliness and order, devolved upon a distinct department; and 
 a staff of carpenters, glaziers, and painters, under an experienced foreman, was maintained 
 for external repairs. 
 
 Music. 
 
 It was deemed expedient to enhance the attractions of the Exhibition by a daily 
 performance of Music. Proposals were submitted to the Committee by several 
 eminent professors, and that of Mr. Charles Halle was accepted, by which, in con¬ 
 sideration of the payment of £4,515, he undertook to form an efficient orchestra 
 of 50 musicians for the daily performances, and provide eminent talent, and a large chorus 
 for the more important musical festivals, which were intended to celebrate the inaugural 
 ceremonial, and the visit of the Queen. The manner in which the musical department 
 w r as conducted fully sustained Mr. Halle's high reputation, and the services of that 
 gentleman contributed, in no small degree, to the success of the undertaking. The 
 Committee acknowledge the liberality of Messrs. Kirtland and Jardine, who, at their own 
 cost, constructed the magnificent organ which was placed in the West Gallery. Selec¬ 
 tions of music were played daily upon the Organ by Mr. Henry Walker, and at 
 intervals several of the leading organists in the kingdom accepted the invitation of the 
 Committee and gave voluntary and most attractive performances. Details of.the band 
 and organ are given in Appendices No. XVII. and XVIII.

 EXHIBITION OF ART TREASURES. 
 
 Catalogues. 
 
 The Committee were the publishers of only two catalogues ; the first, enumerated the 
 Pictures by ancient and modern masters, the British Portrait Gallery, the Sculpture, the 
 Museum of Ornamental Art, the Water Colour Drawings and Miniatures, and was charged 
 one shilling; and the second, embraced the list of the original Drawings or Sketches by Old 
 Masters, Engravings and Photographs, and was charged sixpence. Various other Guides 
 and Handbooks were published, and are enumerated in Appendix No. VIII., but the Com¬ 
 mittee have no return of the numbers sold. It is quite certain, however, that a very wide 
 diffusion of healthy and instructive literature is one and no unimportant result of the Ex¬ 
 hibition. No fewer than 154,668 general catalogues and 13,250 supplemental catalogues, 
 or a total of 167,918, were sold hy the Committee, an exceedingly large proportion to the 
 number of visitors, when compared with the sales at other exhibitions. At the great Exhi¬ 
 bition of 1851, with upwards of six millions of visitors, only 285,854 general catalogues at 
 one shilling each were sold ; at the Exhibition in Dublin in 1853, only 48,500. The 
 catalogues were sold in various parts of the building by boys. The contractors for 
 the printing were Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, of London, and the work was performed 
 with remarkable accuracy and dispatch. Some interesting information supplied by the 
 contractors will be found in Appendix No. XII. The Committee also obtained a re_ 
 print of the large Catalogue of the Soulages Collection, but only 332 copies were sold. 
 
 Report upon the Museum of Art. 
 
 It will suffice here to direct attention to the report on this subject, and the plan 
 shewing the general disposition of the cases, sculpture, &c., which form Appendix 
 No. XIX. Especial reference and commendation are however due to the admirable work 
 on the General Museum of Art, produced under the immediate superintendence of 
 Mr. Waring, and published by Day and Son. 
 
 General Appendices. 
 
 Statistics of the daily range of temperature in the Building, of the names of schools 
 which visited the Exhibition, of the number of letters received and dispatched by the 
 Committee, of the registry of apartments, of lost property, &c. &c, are given in Appendices 
 Nos. V., VII., IX, XI, and XIII. 
 
 In Appendix, No. XXII, are reprinted tlie official programmes of the ceremonials 
 observed at the opening of the Exhibition, and on the occasion of the visit of the Queen. 
 The Committee also give in Appendix, No. XXI., a list of all the contributors to the 
 Exhibition, believing that it will not be otherwise than agreeable to all of them to

 find their names associated with the Exhibition in this record of its history. If any omission 
 have occurred in this list, it has been purely accidental, the books of the Committee having 
 been carefully searched to obtain, if possible, every name. 
 
 Receipts from various Sources. 
 
 Details of these receipts are given in Appendix, No. II. 
 
 Particular reference is due to the large sum received in pence for taking charge of Sticks, 
 Umbrellas, &c .; the gross revenue from this source amounted to no less than £1488 8s. 8d.; 
 the expenses of superintendence not having exceeded perhaps £120. As many as 6000 
 sticks, umbrellas, and parasols have been received and returned in one day. The total rent 
 paid by Mr. Donald, the refreshment contractor, was £3346 9s. 5d. A rental of £216 
 was paid by Messrs. Ireland & Co., for a Bookstall, at which works on art and literature 
 were sold, and also the newspapers and periodicals of the day. The large sum of 
 £32? 3s. lid. was received from Messrs. T. R. Pinches and Co., as commission on the sale 
 in the Building of medals commemorative of the Exhibition. Small revenues were also 
 obtained for the privilege of allowing Bath chairs to be hired within the Building, and for 
 the hire and sale of opera glasses. 
 
 One of the rooms in the Exhibition was occupied as a small Printing Office, under the 
 superintendence of Mr. George Falkner, Printer, and was found to be of the greatest utility 
 in promptly supplying the wants of the Committee. Small placards and direction tickets were 
 printed by this press, as well as the daily programmes of the Music. From the sale of the 
 latter no less a sura than £239. 9s. 7d. was received. 
 
 Mr. John Greenwood paid £100 for the exclusive privilege of his omnibuses being 
 permitted to wait in rank for passengers in’front of the Exhibition. 
 
 The Return of the Contributions. 
 
 Immediately after the close of the Exhibition the greatest activity prevailed within the 
 Building, to hasten the removal of the works of Art before the winter set in. The vast 
 collection of packing cases which had been safely stored by the London and North-Western 
 Railway Company was at once brought within the walls of the Exhibition ground, and the 
 same staff of experienced packers again employed. Within twenty days of the close 5,000 
 pictures, water-colour drawings, and engravings were packed and forwarded to their respective 
 owners; and on the 24th of November all the objects of Art in the General Museum of Art 
 and the Sculpture had left the Building. In performing this difficult and important service 
 it was impossible, to avoid some mistake, but the number of complaints which were addressed 
 to the Committee were very few, whilst from all quarters there reached them expressions of

 approval of the accuracy, care, regularity, and promptitude with which the return was 
 effected. The Committee employed Mr. Robert Dudley to prepare a design for an illuminated 
 card, upon which might be conveyed to every contributor the expression of the Committee’s 
 thanks, for the liberality shown in the support given to the Exhibition ; this design was very 
 successfully realized, and an authenticated list of his or her contributions to the Art 
 Treasures Exhibition was sent to every contributor. 
 
 The Sale of the Building and its fittings. 
 
 Although tenders were invited by public advertisement the Committee failed to receive 
 a single offer for the Building as a whole, and were therefore compelled to resort to public 
 auction to realize the value of the materials. 
 
 The first auction of the internal fittings took place in the early part of December 
 1857, and realized £2165 13s. 2d The large and valuable glass-cases which contained the 
 contributions to the Museum of Art, were purchased by the Government for the service of 
 the department of Science and Art at Kensington. 
 
 The second and more important auction of the Building itself took place in May 1 858, 
 and immediately afterwards the demolition of the Palace commenced. The last materials 
 were cleared away about the middle of the following November. 
 
 The buildings which had cost £37,933 3s. Gd. in their erection, brought only £7,109 13s. 2d. 
 when sold in lots under the hammer. But it must be remembered that the commercial crisis 
 of the last twelve months had materially depreciated the value of building materials, as well 
 as diminished the number of competitors for such materials, and to these causes the Com¬ 
 mittee attribute the fading ofiT in the actual surplus left in their hands as compared with the 
 estimated surplus which was spoken of at the meeting of the council in November 1857. 
 
 Financial Results. 
 
 Very little can be said on this head beyond recording the fact that the income sufficed 
 to pay all expenses. More could not perhaps reasonably be anticipated when the character of 
 the enterprise and the locality chosen for its development are considered, and indeed there 
 were not wanting those who confidently predicted a very opposite result. The Committee 
 will only state that although the gross outlay reached very nearly treble the estimate given 
 at the preliminary meeting in March 1856, they are firmly persuaded that the enlarged ex¬ 
 penditure was in every sense judicious, and alone saved the subscribers to the Guarantee 
 Fund from a call upon their subscriptions. The project must have failed had it been managed 
 in any niggardly or less comprehensive spirit. As it was the Committee felt that the unex¬ 
 ampled liberality of the contributors demanded a worthy recognition, and that they would have 
 failed in their duty and misinterpreted the wishes of the General Council, had they refused

 any outlay which was necessary to display the Works of Art to advantage, or add in any way 
 to the attraction and completeness of the Exhibition. An account with complete details of 
 the income and expenditure of the Exhibition is given in Appendices Nos. Ill and IV. from 
 which it will be seen that the receipts from all sources amounted to £l 10,588 9s. 8d.,and that the 
 balance this day to the credit of the Committee is £304 14s. 4d., out of which the Committee 
 have yet to pay one or two trifling claims. 
 
 We have thus endeavoured to give as faithful and concise an account as possible of the 
 manner in which we have fulfilled the duties imposed upon us by the resolution of the 
 General Council. Our labours have not been light, nor have the anxieties we have 
 undergone been insignificant, seeing that the temporary custody of the most precious 
 possessions in this country involved considerations of the gravest moment, and gave rise to 
 constantly recurring apprehensions. Between May 1856 and May 1858 we held 327 formal 
 meetings, the records of which are given in the Minute Book; and during the latter months 
 of this year considerable demands upon our time have arisen in connexion with the sale of 
 the building, and the settlement of accounts. 
 
 Happily for the credit of Manchester and for the honour of her public spirited citizens 
 success has been achieved, and even financially speaking this success may fairly be called 
 great and remarkable when tested by comparison with the history of other undertakings 
 of a similar character. With the single exception of the Great Exhibition of 1851 all 
 others have resulted in heavy pecuniary losses, whilst the Manchester Exhibition has not 
 only entirely paid its expenses, but it has done so in the face of many obstacles which 
 never presented themselves to its more successful rival. A free site was secured to the 
 Great Exhibition of 1851 owing to its being celebrated in the Metropolis—Governmental 
 aid was afforded not only at home but abroad—public donations placed a large fund at the 
 disposal of the Eoyal Commissioners before operations were commenced — the heavy 
 expenses of packing and transit were paid by the exhibitors themselves, and the different 
 Bail way Companies of the United Kingdom vied with each other in the facilities that they 
 offered to the travelling public during its continuance. Here, on the contrary, there were no 
 donations, or money contributions of any kind; we had to pay both for our land and our 
 money; and it is undoubtedly true that the leading Railway Companies commanding the 
 approaches to Manchester failed to encourage as was anticipated the passenger traffic 
 to the Exhibition. A money failure at one period seemed imminent, but the liberal spirit in 
 wdiich the undertaking had been conceived, and the strenuous efforts which had been made 
 to realize it with proper magnificence and effect, were in time thoroughly appreciated and 
 duly rewarded. From the first the project commanded attention by its novelty, and as its 
 various features became known, they were admired for their boldness, comprehensiveness, and 
 utility. Thu motives of the promoters too could not be questioned, for they were entirely 
 disinterested and for the public good. These were the recommendations which gained for 
 
48 
 
 EXHIBITION OP ART TREASURES. 
 
 the undertaking the early and constant favour of the Queen, and the cordial co-opera¬ 
 tion and liberal encouragement of all or nearly all the owners of Works of Art. The approval 
 and steady support of the public followed, as the nature and merits of the Exhibition were 
 made known through the Press. 
 
 We retire from our labours with the pleasurable conviction that when all the circum¬ 
 stances of our position are weighed it will be admitted that a good work has not been ill 
 done. The Art-student will long remember the unrivalled opportunity he had for study and 
 improvement, and the connoisseur cherish fond memories of the glorious collection brought 
 together and arranged for his examination and delight. But to afford such benefits and 
 pleasures—praiseworthy as such a design might be considered in itself,—was not the only nor 
 yet the highest aim : we sought a far wider good, and were impressed with loftier solicitudes. 
 To give an educational direction to its enjoyments was one great aim of the Exhibition ; 
 to promote the education not of the understanding only, but of the taste, the invention, 
 the fancy, and the devotional and moral sympathies of the people by the force of example, 
 by bringing them into familiar acquaintance with the creations of the gifted minds of all ages, 
 and by means of a careful selection and judicious arrangement of the best examples, to make 
 them feel the refining influences of Art. This influence of Art upon character, the slow but 
 sure impression which works of true excellence and real genius make upon even the entirely 
 uneducated mind, and the subtle connexion which exists between Beauty and Virtue, are prin¬ 
 ciples which may be very difficult of definition but are nevertheless felt by every one to be 
 true. We hope therefore that our labours may have awakened in many a heart where it had 
 before slumbered, and may have stirred to active usefulness in many an other where before it 
 had been but feebly felt, this appreciation of the beautiful;—that far and wide the conviction 
 may have sunk deep into the popular mind that it is not incompatible with the honest 
 performance of the daily duties and hard labours of life to brighten its course by the cultiva¬ 
 tion of the imagination and other more delicate faculties of the mind, and by encouraging a 
 love of the Fine Arts;—and hence that the great Art-display of last year at Old Trafford 
 may long form a pleasing recollection and a frequent topic of conversation at many a humble 
 fireside. Should this happily be the case, the Exhibition will have fulfilled its noblest purpose. 
 It will have been a practical national good,—encouraging us to look for a speedy mani¬ 
 festation of its influences upon society, and rewarding the good intentions of its promoters 
 by the gradual growth amongst the inhabitants of the manufacturing districts of England 
 of improved habits, more refined tastes, and higher virtue.

APPENDIX No. V 
 
 RETURN SHOWING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BUILDING FOR EACH DAY. 
 
 This Table is compiled from a Register kept by J. Gresham. The temperature inside the Building was determined 
 from the mean readings of eight thermometers, placed without regard to sunlight or shade. When the 
 temperature inside the building exceeded 70 degrees Fahr., the firemen played upon the roof of the Build¬ 
 ing,—throwing some 80 tons of water on during the course of the day,—by which means the temperature 
 inside was reduced some two degrees, thus accounting for the great variations.

APPENDIX No. XV. 
 
 REPORT ON THE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN FOR THE PREVENTION OF FIRE. 
 
 When the Building was in course of erection, Hydrants, attached to three-inch mains, were used, 
 with about 400 yards of hose, with all the necessary jets and fittings. 
 
 A Fireman from the Manchester Fire Brigade was placed on duty in the Building. Mr. Wilson, 
 Superintendent of the Manchester Water Works, suggested that a ten-inch main should be laid along 
 the Stretford New Road, with another of eight-inch diameter on the Chester Road, and that at the 
 junction of the two roads they should he connected, thus securing a supply of water in case either of 
 them were turned off for repair; and from the connection a main was laid to the principal entrance, and 
 round the whole of the Building, (See Plan of Water Alains.) Upon this main twenty Hydrants 
 were fixed, and from it eighteen branches with a governing valve were carried into different parts of 
 the Building, and twenty-four Fire-cocks were attached; these were all placed in convenient positions, 
 under the floor, and the water was kept constantly on at high pressure day and night. 
 
 Two light carriages were fitted up with about 400 yards of hose on reels, and placed at each end of 
 the Building. To each Fire-cock in the interior were secured thirty yards of hose, coiled in a wooden 
 box with a copper delivery pipe attached, which dispensed with the necessity of fixing, and was so 
 simple and efficient in arrangement, that within two minutes of the discovery of a fire four jets 
 could he directed upon any point within the Building, delivering two tons of water per minute. 
 
 As the Contributions began to arrive at the Building, six Firemen were employed, three for 
 night and three for day. Their duties consisted of patrolling the Building, roof, &c., and to detect 
 and prevent smoking, which by the rules of the Exhibition was strictly prohibited, and the removal 
 of any rubbish that might appear to he dangerous; also to see that the Hose, Water Main, Valves, &c., 
 were in efficient working order. After the public had left the Exhibition daily, the hoses were 
 stretched along the floor ready for instant use in the various Picture Galleries and other portions of 
 the Building. 
 
 In addition to the foregoing arrangements, a Fire Engine belonging to the Manchester Fire 
 Brigade was stationed in the yard adjacent to the Main Building, and near the lake in the Botanical 
 Gardens, to obtain water from which two holes had been made in the Garden wall. 
 
 THOMAS ROSE, Inspector of the Manchester Fire Brigade. 
 
 During the Exhibition, fortunately, no occasion arose for the use of the Hydrants, and they were 
 employed for washing the floors, and throwing water on the Building, to reduce the temperature 
 when required .—Sec Tabic of Temperature.

 REPORT ON THE GENERAL MUSEUM OF ART. 
 
 The accompanying ground plan of the central Hall shows the general disposition of the 
 Sculpture which was contributed to the Exhibition, and the places occupied by the glass 
 cases containing the most valuable specimens of ornamental art, the groups of furniture 
 armour, &c. As the main Hall formed not only the most imposing feature of the Exhibition, 
 but on account of its great size was intended as the principal promenade for the visitors, 
 effect had to be studied in placing the different groups, at the same time that such an 
 arrangement was adopted as offered the fewest impediments to the free circulation of crowds 
 of people. 
 
 It was therefore determined first, that there should be a clear avenue 24 feet wide, ex¬ 
 tending from the turnstiles at the main entrance to the large group of Sculpture which was 
 placed in front of the orchestra and in the very centre of the transept; and secondly, that 
 the Museum of Art, which was principally exhibited in glass cases, should be ranged on 
 either side of the main Hall, between the lines of columns and the inner walls of the Picture 
 Galleries. The pieces of Sculpture which stood out from the lines of the columns towards the 
 central avenue, and which are coloured red in the plan, were protected from injury by rows of 
 forms, which were firmly fixed in front of the pedestals, and served as resting places for the visi¬ 
 tors. The mounted figures in armour on horseback were placed near to the stairs leading to 
 the transept gallery, and their positions are denoted on the plan by the letter S. 
 
 The few specimens of Antique Sculpture which were offered to the Committee, were 
 placed in the Saloons appropriated to the pictures by the Old Masters. A piece of Modern 
 Sculpture was also placed in the centre of each Saloon containing Modern Pictures. In the 
 Main Hall the larger figures were ranged in front, and of the smaller pieces, one was placed 
 against each double-column—the Busts being disposed round the transept and in the vesti¬ 
 bules of the Picture Galleries. No casts were admitted, and considering the difficulties and 
 risk attendant upon the removal and carriage of marbles, the display of examples of the 
 sculptor’s art may be said to have been satisfactory. Three statues were slightly injured 
 in the Exhibition. Their values were paid to the owners ; and the statues were subsequently 
 disposed of by raffle without loss to the Exhibition funds.

 APPENDIX. 
 
 The Oriental Court. 
 
 The collection of objects of Oriental Art was arranged by the late Dr. Forbes Royle, 
 Director of the Museum of the Honourable the East India Company. A reference to the very 
 able article upon this department in the General Catalogue, for which the Committee were 
 also indebted to Dr. Royle, will show that the Oriental Court presented a very complete 
 and instructive representation of almost every branch of Art for which the Eastern nations 
 are celebrated, or in which they excel. 
 
 From the 5th of June, the care of the General Museum of Art was placed in the hands 
 of Mr. G. Redford, Mr. Waring being retained to inspect from time to time and to superintend, 
 at the close of the Exhibition, the re-packing of the contributions. 
 
 The immense number of objects forming the Museum, rendered it practically impossible 
 to include their enumeration in the General Catalogue. By direction therefore of the 
 Committee, Mr. Waring wrote for that Publication short remarks upon the general contents 
 of each case, with brief historical notices of the more important branches of Art, whilst to 
 each individual object exhibited was affixed a descriptive label.

 GUARANTEE DEPOSITED WITH THE GOVERNOR AND DIRECTORS OF 
 
 THE BANK OF ENGLAND. 
 
 We, the undersigned, being desirous of promoting an Exhibition in the City of Man¬ 
 chester during the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty-seven of Treasures of Art, 
 do hereby, for ourselves, our executors, and administrators, contract and agree with and to 
 James Watts, Esq., the Mayor of the City of Manchester, in consideration of his undertaking 
 the office of Treasurer to the said scheme, that in case the amount of money received for 
 admission, or otherwise, to or from the said Exhibition, shall be insufficient to pay all costs 
 or expenses of erecting and maintaining a Building for the proposed Exhibition, and all 
 other expenses of every kind incident thereto,—then we the undersigned will, on demand, 
 contribute such deficiency, in the proportions that the sums set opposite to our respective 
 names bear to the total amount hereunder subscribed, and pay the same to the said James 
 Watts accordingly, so, nevertheless, that the amounts payable by us respectively do not 
 exceed the sums which we have respectively subscribed,—it being hereby declared that this 
 obligation is several and not joint, and that none of us is to be answerable by reason of the 
 failure of any person to perform his part of this agreement beyond his rateable proportion of 
 the loss to the common fund thereby occasioned. Dated this twentieth day of May, One 
 thousand eight hundred and fifty six.

 Decoration. 
 
 In decorating the Grand Central Hall, two circumstances were to be considered. 
 Firstly, its peculiar construction; and, secondly, the use to which it was to be applied. 
 The series of Historical Portraits required a particularly low tone of colour. It was 
 decided therefore to cany out all the columns and the framing between them a quiet 
 bronze colour relieved by gilding, and to continue the same colouring to the flanges of the arches 
 of the roof, the faces of which were painted vellum colour, relieved alternately with a Vitruvian 
 scroll and a Greek fret ornament in red. This formed a lively but quiet contrast to the 
 grey tone of the panels of the ceiling, which were likewise margined by a dull red line. 
 The walls were coloured maroon red, as a ground for the Pictures, surmounted by an orna¬ 
 mental frieze on dark grounds, containing tablets inscribed with the names of the Artists 
 whose works appeared on the walls. At the end of the Hall was arranged an Orchestra, 
 above which rose an Organ of great size and power, of which the pipes were silvered, 
 relieved with gilt enrichments, and ornamented in Niello work in black. On the end

 walls were decorated panels with inscriptions. On that over the entrance was the line from 
 Keats— 
 
 “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever;” 
 
 and at the opposite end— 
 
 from Pope. 
 
 “ To wake the soul by tender strokes of art,” 
 
 The walls of the Picture Galleries were hung with a paper of simple pattern of dull 
 sage green, the dado below being painted maroon, relieved with ornamental lines, and the 
 frieze above partook of the same colouring. The principal decorative features were the 
 partition walls between the Galleries. These were relieved with radiating panels, on which 
 were inscribed the names of Artists of particular schools of Painting, with the attributes of 
 Commerce and Art. Beyond the Gallery of Ancient Pictures, on the other side of the 
 Transept, was a Court 72 feet by 48 feet, in which were arranged the Hertford Collection of 
 Pictures. The general decoration of this Court was similar to that of the other Galleries. 
 
 On the other side of the Hall the Oriental Court, corresponding with the above and of 
 the same dimensions, was decorated so as to harmonize with the class of interesting objects 
 contained in it. Here the walls were painted a dark green; hut in the frieze above, as well 
 as in the decoration of the ceiling, richer colours with much ornamentation in the Indian 
 style were introduced. The long Gallery at the extreme west end of the Building, and two 
 smaller Courts adjoining, were devoted to the Collection of Water-colour Drawings. In 
 these the walls were coloured a neutral grey, relieved by flat Etruscan ornament in quiet 
 red colour. The ceilings were light cream colour, very slightly ornamented. 
 
 Adjoining the main Building was a large outer Court, about 100 feet by 72 feet, fitted 
 up as a first-class Refreshment Room. This was decorated in a fanciful manner with a 
 series of light Moorish columns supporting an open fret-work verandah, and between the 
 columns were introduced a series of landscapes, emblematical of the different quarters of the 
 globe. 
 
 The second-class Refreshment Rooms, of great extent, were at the opposite end of the 
 Building, near the entrance, and were papered in blue and wdiite stripes, with bright red 
 rope borders, so as to convey the idea of a tent. At one of the entrances to the Building 
 was arranged a Special Reception Room for the Queen ; this was decorated with great taste 
 and elegance in white and gold.
