Description - Story of the British Museum by Marjorie Caygill

Here, Caygill tells the history of the British Museum from its foundation by Act of Parliament in 1753 to the present day. She has drawn on contemporary newspapers, journals, diaries and the Museum's own archives to bring to life the personalities - the eccentric, the brilliant and the not-so-brilliant - who have peopled the Museum's galleries and imbued it with its own distinctive character.
