I further think it would be a great evil to separate a typical collection (which I can by no means look at as only popular) from the collection in full.

Might not some expression be added, even stronger than those now used, on the display (which is a sort of vanity in the curators) of such a vast number of birds and mammals, with such a loss of room.

I am low at the conviction that Government will never give money enough for a really good library.
I do not want to be crotchety, but I should hate signing without some expression about the site being easily accessible to the populace of the whole of London.
I repeat, as things now stand, I shall be proud to sign.
LETTER 68.

TO T.H.HUXLEY.

Down, November 3rd [1858].
I most entirely subscribe to all you say in your note.
