For any readers who wish for suitable edification during their leisure hours, we would recommend a visit to the British Museum.  There, one can marvel at the Assyrian collection, as well as inspect the Rosetta Stone.  And for those who prefer flora and fauna, there is an excellent collection of such items at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington.

I'm not a great one for edification but those collections do sound interesting ^^

There is much to be said for the pleasure of looking at such articles, even if one does not wish to learn more about them.

The British museum it is then...I am distinctly under edified.

We would hate for any of our readers to be under edified and will continue to publish items which could assist in their improvement.

Hurray!
I can move on from being merely a social ornament:-)

We are sure you are much more than that.

Gosh...self esteem instruction, too!

Our readers, and especially our loyal subscribers, are very important to us.

Delighted to hear that:-)

I wonder if the baubles of the new Hans Sloane ended up there after he shipped off the the home. I hope he got to keep one or two favourites.

It would be nice to think so.

But how to find these wonderful items amid all the jumble?

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

You may rest assured all items are labelled and therefore easy to identify. Although, one should never eliminate something merely because at first glance it appears to be junk.

I had a heck of a time finding the Rosetta Stone the first time I went to the British Museum since it was out of the way.

We have been assured there is assistance around for those who require it. Any of our transatlantic visitors need only ask.

Thanks! we need all the help we can get.
