Excerpt from An Historical and Descriptive Account of the Field Columbian Museum
The historical accounts of the collections presented to the Museum through the several Exposition Departments that fill some thirty pages of this number will, therefore, serve in some measure as an acknowledgment to those workers whose names in this connection might otherwise remain unknown. The names of contributors have already been made public in the pages of the Guide issued on the Opening Day.
