To rescue the country from the disgrace of parting for ever with
• themagnificent structure with.whose existence so happy aporttonhaosf
the life of the people of England isidentified, the Crystal Palace
been purchased by private individuals from Messrs. Fox and Hen-
derson; the spirited contractors/ who erected it. '
The Palace of the People having been doomed by the vote of the
tease of Commons, there remained butawie alternatives—either the
• fairy edifice, with all its social blessings, must disappear at once from
English soil. or be conveyed bYprivateenrerprise from its temporary
home to a spot from which no authority had power to remove it.
The purchasers of the building did not hesitate for a moment in step-
ping in between the public and the Legislative sentence : they knew
full well that the Governments of othei countries deem it their duty
to Providefor, and carefully towatch over, the national character of
the• masses respectively givep to their charge, by affording the
• aneatiaof recreation and instruction during their holiday and leisure
hours. But here the wise and good amongst us must do these things
for therheelves, for British GoVernments revolve in fixed political
orbits,• and the people shrink from official .interferame in their per-
Ronal, cociaaaand domestic movements.,
Two great facts were established by the laailonal Exhibition of
1851. In the first place, it proved not only a self-supporting, but a
highly remunerative institution; and,' secondly, visitors, at the
higher rates of charge, neither entered the auilding in numbers equal
to those on the shilling days, nor contributed in money a sum equis
Talent to that realised by the shillings 'of the poorer classes. From
these two facts, it became evident to the purcluteers that two points
• mainly demanded their attention in deciding upon the fate of the
structure which they had saved from demolition. To begin, they
must fix upon a spot for the Palace, easy of access to the masses ;
and, in the second place, they must render the Palace in respect of
the people ef London what Versailles is to Paris—a place where the
people may be admitted by thousands to all the enjoyments of art, of
science, of beauty, of skill, and of mechanical invention—enjoyments
hitherto accessible only to the educated, the.reflned, and the rich.
In both respects the purchasers 'have to congratulate themselves
Upon having met with unexpected and abundant success.
A site close to London, but out of reach of its smoke and brick
, walls—beautiful,' pletut'eaque, and open—has been secured on the
Brighton Railway. •aa-,,....a0e-enee built-upon itawill have a rail_

. Stations, which are the most readily accessible to the densest por-
tion of the Lontam population, arrti from 'which the Crystal Palace
Station will be reached by special trains in ten minutes. A line is
also in contemplation which will connect the Crystal Palace with the
Waterloo and Vauxhall Stations. One small payment will cover
both the admission and the railway conveyance to and from the
Crystal Palace. Thus, in a few minutes, withcut stoppage, the visit-
ors will find themselves once more within the precincts of their old
and favourite resort.
The Institution itself ills proposed to make worthy of the country
and of the views with which the Crystal Palace was originally
raised. Refined recreation, calculated to elevate the intellect, to in-
struct the mind, and to improve the heart, will welcome the millions
Who have now no other incentives to pleasure tut such as the gin
Palace, the dancing saloon, and the ale-house, afford them. The tri-
unPhs of industry and art, and the natural beauty of flowers and
( plants from every climate, will meet together at the Crystal Palace
Within its walls all the, charms of the country will be perpetuate d
through winter and summer ; and wind and rain, and the well-
" 'known inclemency of our climate, wll form no obstacle to the per-
fect enjoyment of visitors admitted to the genial atmosphere of a
- Winter garden eighteen acres in extent.
• At Versailles the great attractions of the Palace are its fountains ;
at the Crystal Palace it will be possible for the first lime in England

grateful and soothing that-even Royal munificence has been able to
command. With our power o: steam cad mechanical resources, it
Will not be difficult to
render the fountains of the Crystal Palace the
,2lnestin the world.

grerature, will be 'repeated in tho People's Palace, where every
ti eat 'victory of machinery w.ll find its enduring record and safe
ee_epesitory. Geology, mineralogy, and botany will be illustrated on a
eer greater scale than has ever before been attempted ; and trees,
t architecture, costumes, and manufactures will be so laid out
as to present as far as practicable a study of every country in the
world, with all its natural stores and industrial products. The
xleeaa',oitalCommtssiouers were obliged to take, ala_ost without discrimi•
all that was sent to them by local or foreign Committees,

as many acres of hFace were fillecrivith useless and uninte-
-47_ g objects, and the same description of objects was repeated
ewe after time in every division of the building. Ili the new build-
fags on the other hand, the classification of the objects will be much
tanre complete and instructive, anti the -vacant space will be filled
by beautiful plants, flowers, and fepntains.
a'ulTounding the Palace will be the Crystal Palace-park, constructed
With all the peculiarities for which the parks of England are world-
. t famous. One hundred and fifty acres will be filled with every tree
and Plant which England's atmosphere has adopted or acclimatized.
aue CrYstal Palace-park will be as thoroughly English in its aspect
as the Palace itself will in its contents be a mirdature of the world.
P_ eriodical shows of flowers and plants will be held in the Palace,
Dot the general amusements of the tea-garden and the dancing
saloon Will be strictly excluded. Care will also be taken to secure a
'LIMY of refreshments of the best description, but intoxicating beve-
ragest will not be Sold. In a. word,- throughout every department of
natimal work, that character will be stamped upon it which t
has already won. The Crystal Palace shall suffer no deterioration in
carAmiftecluence of its removal from its airesent 'aristocratic site—shall
se
no part of its claim upon the gratitpde and applause of the
Public, by reason of its transmission from Ilia hands of her Majesty's
commissioners to those of the people.
The distinguished reputation of the gentlemen who are retained to
the perpetuate the. splendid fabric, constitutes a sufficient guarantee for
gowi faith of the promoters of the.work, and far the legitimate
objects which the purchasers of the Crystal Palace have throughout
had in view. It is impossible to disconnect from those objects—
'Undertaken as they are on behalf of the public by private individuals
the character which attaches to every commercial _enterprise.
Put it is not only possible, but very easy to render the association
how submitted to the public consideration an instrument of incalcu-
lable good to the country, and of lasting happiness to the people.
With the aid of the Government, who, with a view to promote the
great public objects of the undertaking, have kindly promised to
afford • every reasonable facility, and including it is expected a
charter of incorporation, and with the hearty co-operation of • the
other influential parties whose services are promised, the Directors
have no fear whatever of accomplishing within a short space of time
, the gigaittic and serviceable work to which their energies are now
t devoted.
For the present it remains only to state, that as a commercial en.
terprise, the prospect of success depends upon the following well
'ascertained data : '
1. According to careful estimates and reports received from some
, of the principal parties connected with the Great Exhibition, a
Capital of 180,000/. will be amply sufficient to complete the purchase
and re-erection of the Crystal Palace, with such improvements of
''structure as are rgquired M give it a permanent character, . and a
Moderate additional sum will be sufficient to provide a winter gar-
den, and place in it sach a collection of objects of art and science,
of beauty and instruction, as will make its attractions and interest
even superior to those which drew the enormous concourse of visitors
• In 18518
1 2. Upon these estimates a number of visitors in the course of 12
anontliseequal to not more than the number which in a single fort-
night entered the Great Exhibition, will bo sufficient to afford a fair
`return on the capital from the admission fees alone, independently
,'of other sources of revenue, whilst any excess butane this number
I Will be pure profit.
The nevenCrystal Palace will be completed in sufficient time to en-
hallre its opening on the Ist of May, 1853. and eminent contractors
have offered to maintain it in thorough repair for a longterm of years
at a cost not exceeding 5,0001. per annum.
. :As regards the prospect of a large influx of visitors, some of the
;statistical facts connected with the- Great Exhibition are most in-
. atructive. During the period of 24 weeks, for which that Exhibition
`was open, it was visited by upwards of 6,000,000 persons; or, on the
`average, by upwards of 250,000 per week ; and the receipts e:ceeled
400,0001., leaving a net profit of 200,0000., after defraying the whole
lei pens,: ef the Exhibition, including the cost of the building. On
'three consecutive shilling days the number of visitors exceeded
10000, and the receipts 5,000/. per day.
• ie Arrangements have been made- with the London, Brighton, and
ir'ollth-Coast Railway Company, mod.which that Company undertakes
!to provide the most ample accetion for the conveyance of
;Passengers to and from the Crystal Palace upon terms mutually ad-
vantageous, and which practically secure a minimum return of six
'Per cent. on the capital of the Crystal Peace Company.
