Excerpt from Life Histories of North American Birds: From the Parrots to the Grackles, With Special Reference to Their Breeding Habits and Eggs To carry into effect the purposes of the testator, the plan of organization should evidently embrace two Objects: one, the increase of knowledge by the addition of new truths to the existing stock; the other, the diffusion of knowledge, thus increased, among men. No restriction is made in favor of any kind of knowledge, and hence each branch is entitled to and should receive a share of attention. The act of Congress establishing the Institution directs, as a part of the plan of organization, the formation of a library, a museum, and a gallery of art, together with provisions for physical research and popular lectures, While it leaves to the Regents the power of adopting such other parts of an organization as they may deem best suited to promote the objects of the bequest.
