Excerpt from A Guide to the Medieval Room and to the Specimens of Mediaeval and Later Times in the Gold Ornament Room: With Fourteen Plates and a Hundred and Ninety-Four Illlustrations
It will be found that the collections described in this Guide vary considerably in completeness. In the sections of ivory carvings, seal-matrices, and watches, the series are sufficiently large to furnish a fair idea of the condition of the respective arts during mediaeval and later times but in other sections, notably those illustrating the habits and daily life of the periods, there are many gaps which the future may see partially filled.
