To rescue the countrThe y fr io
om the disgrace of parting for ever with
rn
the aaniticent structure with whose existence so happy a portion of
been
life of the 'people of England is identified, the Crystal Palace has
duee,ree, nepurchased by private individuals from Messrs. Fox and
Hen-
+ he spirited contractors who erected it.
The Palace of the People having been doomed by the vote of the
IHouse of Commons, there remained but two alternatives-either the
,a,l7,,e.difice, with. .-;11 its social blessings, must disappear at once from
home
soil, or be conveyed by private enterprise irom its temporary
th a spot from which no authority had power to remove it.
The purchasers of the building dia not hesitate for a mament in step-
ping in between the public and
ofthe
Legislative sentence ; they knew
flail well that the Governments other countries deem it their duty
till Provide for, and carefully to watch over, the rational character of
e atasses respectively given to their charge, by affording the
means of recreation and instruction during their holiday and leisure
hours. But here the wise anal good amongst us must do these things
for themselves, for British Governments revolve in fixed political
orbits, and the people shrink from official interference in their per-
• ['octal, and domestic movements.
Two great facts were established by the National Exhibition of
1851.
hi In the first place, it proved not only a self-supporting, but a
ghly remunerative institution; and, secondly, visitors, at the
higher rates of charge, neither entered the building in numbers equal
to those on the shilling days, nor contributed in money a sum equi-
'Talent to that
these
two
facte,realised by the shillings of the poorer classes From
it became evident to the purchasers that two points -
atainlY demanded their attention in deciding upon the fate of the
structure which they had saved from demolition.
must flit upon a s To begin, theyrii
Pot for the Palace, easy of access to-the masses ;
and, intim second place, they must Tender the Palace in respect of
the people of 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 refined, and- the rich.
TU both respects the purchasers have to congratulate themselves ,
Pnn having met with unexpected and abundant success.
A site close to London but out of reach of its smoke and brick
Walia-beautiful,picturesque, and open-has been secured on the
taa,su
,
a."aori Railway. The Palace once @hilt upon it, will have a rail-
"s7 station within the building itself, communicating by an exclu-
''r 'int of rail with the London•bridge and Bricklayers' Arms

Within its walls all the charms of the country will be perpetuated
cthrough winter and summer ; and wind and rain, and the well-
