Excerpt from List of the Objects Obtained During the Paris Exhibition of 1867, by Gift, Loan, or Purchase, and Now Exhibited in the South Kensington Museum Mr. Webb, whom your Grace had associated with us, was unable to come to Paris, but we have had the benefit of a list of such specimens as he recommended.

We have principally followed the latter course, as tending to secure Specimens not likely to be acquired at any other time. We beg therefore to recommend for purchase the following Objects, in the order in which they stand, which do not exceed the limit of 5,000l. Named by your Grace.
