EIGHTY
NATURAL SCIENCE CABINETS
On the 9th of October, 1869, my Natural Science Buildings were destroyed by a disastrous fire, and my collections (except my large “Ward Cabinet” in the University) were reduced to ashes.
Since then I have erected new buildings which I have stocked with specimens of all kinds, from which I have both sold at retail and have made up Cabinets of various sixes at different prices,
As I am frequently asked where my Cabinets have been placed, I now give subjoined a
LIST OF EIGHTY INSTITUTIONS
