Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Nature Treasures of New York City: American Museum of Natural History New York Aquarium, New York Zoological Park and Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden and Children's Museum The purpose of this Guide, which owes its idea and inception to President Henry Fairfield Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History, is to render accessible under one cover an account of the public scientific institutions of New York City which are built and supported by public funds in cooperation with the benefaction and direction of individual citizens. This union of municipal and private endeavor in the cause of Public Education is unique. The Guide is designed to be brief enough to permit of easy reading and at the same time sufficiently detailed and descriptive to give an adequate idea of the collections these institutions contain and of their importance as educational factors. The visitor is thus enabled to choose from the exhibits of any or all of the Museums, Parks and Gardens those in which he is most interested and to proceed directly to them, or to plan a survey as a whole with a minimum waste of time and effort. Rearrangements of the collections which are liable to take place in the near future have been anticipated as far as possible at the time of writing.
