    Such, Sir, are a few of the improvements that have suggested themselves to my mind relative to the inte¬ resting subject of our National Museum. Ce n’est que le premier pas que coute—this first step is a change in the constitution : this once effected, the public will have no reason to complain of want of accommodation, or of any deficiency of attention to the great objects of an institution, which, if well-conducted, is calcu¬ lated to have so powerful an influence upon the prosperity of our arts and manufactures, and the manners, the. amusements, and the morals of the people. I have the honour to remain. Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, \ JOHN MILLARD. 34, Arlino’ton Street, Camden Town, 18th June, 1836.
