The Lewis Evans Collection at Oxford

Abstract

RECENT ADDITIONS. WHEN the oldest of British museums was reopened for the scientific treasures presented to the University of Oxford by Dr. Lewis Evans, it was foreseen that that fine collection must act as;a lodestone and attract cognate objects to itself. This expectation has been realised in a remarkable measure by gifts and loans of apparatus, and by the discovery and reconstruction of long-forgotten instruments. The first fruits of the reversion of a part of the Old Asbmolean building to its original use as a Science Museum are now on exhibition.
