Horwood, A Study in Museum Arrangement.

II. Marmorstatuen sind sehr oft mit einer fettig, resp. lehmig aus-
sehenden, doch sehr harten, meist bräunlichen Schicht teilweise überdeckt.
Nach vielen Versuchen führte ein Einweichen mit starkem wässerigem Am-
moniak zum Ziele der Reinigung. Die Stellen werden mit in Ammoniak getränkten
Lappen wiederholt überbunden, bis die Schicht erweicht und abgerieben werden kann.
Weitere Informationen mehr chemischer Natur über die Reinigung, Kon-
servierung, sowie über die Zusammensetzung der Altertumsfunde finden sich in meinen
oben zitierten Publikationen vor.

Everyone who has any acquaintance with Museums, their management, scope,
and attainments, knows full well the difficulties to be encountered by the
would-be caterer for all classes of the public. For though all, in this age of
enquiry and progress, are eager to learn, — especially if the knowledge be gained
gratuitously, —- yet there are differences between the powers of acquiring know-
ledge and the objects in view amongst this at once homogeneous, yet all the same
heterogeneous, body of sight-seers, learners and students, which make up the masses.
And we have already alluded1) to this problem, which is the most perplexing
one the Museum official has to solve, in a previous endeavour to show what may
be done by intelligent methods towards revolutionizing the old plan of studying the
interests of these diverse types of the public en bloc.
While not claiming in any way to supersede, much less to ignore, the pioneer
work of the late Prof. W. H. Flower F. R. S., and more recently of Dr. F. A.
Bather F. R. S., the latter of whom has written in this Journal upon the subject,
we wish to present in a further communication, by a concrete example, the ad-
vantages to be gained by a systematic properly-organised plan for studying the
needs of the people, learned or not as the case may be.
For, as remarked (ibid., p. 223), there are, generally speaking, four classes
into which we may conveniently divide the public, based upon their several in-
, Museumskunde, 1909, Band V, Heft 4. S. 222 ff.
