The very word 'museum' did not become a prart of the English language until the early 1600's and did not have its present meaning until about 1685. Before that time private 'galleries', 'cabinets', and 'collections' were seldom if ever available for general public enjoyment." [Dust Jacket] 141 illustrations; 302 pages; Notations and Index.
