Book excerpt: Excerpt from Museum Disneianum: Being a Description of a Collection of Ancient Marbles, Specimens of Ancient Bronze, and Various Ancient Fictile Vases, in the Possession of John Disney, Esq., F. R. S., F. S. A., At the Hyde, Near Ingatestone IN offering to the public an account of so small a collection as the present, the best apology I can make is; that the contents have been so favourably appreciated by some of the best judges of the present and recently past times, as to induce them earnestly to request me to do so. The far greater part of it was formed jointly by Mr. Thomas Hollis and his friend, Mr. Thomas Brand, (who eventually took the name of Hollis in addition to his own, ) principally, indeed, by the former, during their several visits to Italy, from the year 1748 to 1753.
