ABSTRACT
The cabinet of natural history is to be in the form of a fine gallery; one might wish to have light from above, or at least from above the cases, which would line the walls around. Each case may be given the kind of ornament that is appropriate to the objects it contains, although all of them will be equal in the masses and in the sizes of their compartments, for fear of destroying the symmetry. But this means, the contents of each will be known at first sight.
