Close
Print"This publication is intended to serve as a 'descriptive-label' to accompany the collective exhibit of the Smithsonian Institution and its dependencies. It is based upon my essay on The Smithsonian Institution, printed in 1885, in 'The Chautauquan' (Vol. V, pp. 275- 79), and upon later writings, especially, 'The Origin of the National Scientific and Educational Institution of the United States' (Report American Historical Association, 1889, pp. 53-100); 'The Genesis of the National Museum' (Smithsonian Report, 1891, II, pp. 273-380) and the article 'Smithsonian Institution' in Johnson's Cyclopaedia, new edition (Vol. VII, 1895)."
