THE PRESERVATION OF THE EX
BITION BUILDING.
The following is a copy of a letter addressed by Mr
Oliveira to Sir Joseph Paxton, on the subject of the
revenue which could be derived from the building if
appropriated to the plan proposed
8, Upper Hyde Park-street, London, April 5.
My dear Sir,—As one of the objections to the perma-
nent establishment of the Crystal Palace, as a place of
reined amusement, recreation, and intellectual culture
to all classes, is the great cost of maintaining it, I beg
to give you somewhat more in detail, and with slight
additions, the items of an estimated annual revenue,
which I addressed to you as long ago as last July, when
I formed those opinions which I have since had the
pleasure of participating with you of the great public
utility to which this splendid creation of yours might
be devoted.
t .Assuming that the general arrangements of the in-
terinoor would be a large conservatory with walks, foun-
plants, and
collections shrubs that that would, live
in a low tem-
perature;architectural models, do mineralogy, botany,
aeology,
and instruct all classes of
of various kinds to interest
added schools of of visitors; to which might, be
inventions tied mettha6a' ,lecture rooms, collections of
artisans, at Improvements by ingenious
I am of opinion that the f,)11 wing
by no mesas exaggerated ea-t- schedule represents
might be derived from the ciy.t.'2l;e
of
it CE
annually;—
ESTIMATE OF REV the sum which
If the outer di7isim of the parallelogramE
was devoted to equestrian, ia;t,.
light railing dividing it from the rest of
the building, I propose that all parties
having the privilege of riding there
should pay one guinea annually, and
that there may be 800 subscribers ...
All persons desirous of having the entree
484°
to the rest of the building every day in
the year (Sunday included) should have
tickets of admission at 11. ls. A re-
gister to be kept of their names and re-
sidences; and the general board of
management to determine as to their
eligibility. I expect from this source
10,000 subscribers, representing
Note—Viewing the success of the Hor-
ticultural, Botanical, and Zoological So-
cieties, where, to become a member, it is
necessary to be proposed, seconded, bal-
loted for, and pay a large entrance fee, I
think the foregoing item (divested of
those formalities) is not over-estimated.
I propose that Monday and Tuesday in
each week be devoted to the working
classes, who shall visit the whole of the
building on payment of 3d. each. I
estimate 5,000 daily 6,500 0 0
Wednesday and Thursday should be de-
voted to visitors at 6d. each. I esti-
mate on each of these days 5,000
Friday, ls., say 5,000 13,000 0 0
Saturday 2s. 6d. each, on which day there s
might be musical entertainments, or
other attractions calculated for the
upper classes, 5,000 each day 32,500 0 0

£76,340 0 0

For placing statuary or works of art,
1,000 objects, at 13. each per week..., 9,600 0 0

£79,940 0 0
The foregoing estimate may be considered rough and
inaccurate, bat it may lead to the question being mi-
n„..."'l7 investigated, and brought to practical working, if
si© fortunate enoughthe to prelerve the building from
dealruetion that awaits it.
Sir j r"lain my dear Sir, yours very truly,
