PART I.

PRELIMINARY AND INTRODUCTION. NOTE.--This Division of the Guide-Book contains the _Index to Principal Objects_; and the _Company’s Official Announcements_; with the _Refreshment Tariff_; an _Introduction_ to the General Guide-book; and an _Account of the Building_. ADVERTISEMENT. The arrangement of the present edition has been made with the view of simplifying, as much as possible, the reference to particular objects; as well as of enabling the visitor to regularly explore with advantage every portion of the Crystal Palace. The splendid Botanical Collection, now thoroughly acclimatised, and very complete, is described as fully as the nature of the book will permit. PREFACE TO ORIGINAL EDITION. The following pages are presented to the public as a brief but connected and carefully prepared account of the exterior and interior of the Crystal Palace. It is believed that no important or interesting object in connexion with the Exhibition is without its record in this little volume; although, in so vast a collection of works of architecture, sculpture, and industrial manufacture, it is clearly impossible to compress within the limits of a General Hand-book all the information which is necessary to satisfy the visitor desirous of precise and accurate knowledge of the numberless objects offered to his contemplation. A general and comprehensive view of the Crystal Palace will unquestionably be obtained by the perusal of the present manual. The Hand-books of the respective departments will supply all the detailed information necessary to fill in the broad and rapidly drawn outlines. In them, Literature will faithfully serve as the handmaiden to Art, and complete the great auxiliary work of education which it is the first aim of the Crystal Palace to effect. These Hand-books are published at prices varying from three-pence to eighteen-pence, according to the size of the volume. The lowest possible price has been affixed to one and all. It may be fearlessly asserted that books containing the same amount of entertainment, information, and instruction, it would be difficult to purchase at a more reasonable rate elsewhere. [Illustration: PRINTED BY R. K. BURT, HOLBORN HILL, CITY.] CONVEYANCE BY ROAD AND RAIL. The trains start punctually from the London Bridge and Pimlico Stations at the times advertised in the official bills to be found in various parts of the building; but special trains are put on always as occasion may require.

After the conclusion of that series, it is proposed to combine the Concert and Promenade on the Saturdays, commencing with the 23rd July, for a Second Series. For these Concerts the Directors are happy to announce that they have entered into arrangements for the services of some of the most celebrated Artistes, Continental and English, amongst whom will be found several who are highly popular with the public, and who have not yet appeared at the Crystal Palace. The admission to these Concerts will be to Non-Season Ticket-holders Five Shillings. OTHER MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENTS. Other Concerts will take place during the Season; and of these due notice will be given. In the meantime the Directors may state that they will be favoured with the co-operation of Mr. HENRY LESLIE’S CHOIR: Also that some Grand Performances of Classical Music, on an extensive scale, by the VOCAL ASSOCIATION, under the able baton of Mr. BENEDICT, embracing several novelties, may be looked forward to. It is further announced with pleasure that the METROPOLITAN SCHOOLS CHORAL SOCIETY, numbering among its ranks many thousands of the Children of the NATIONAL SCHOOLS, whose singing last year, conducted by Mr. G. W. MARTIN, elicited such warm approval, will hold another celebration on Saturday, 11th June; as also will the members of the TONIC SOL-FA ASSOCIATION, under the same able conduct as before. Another great meeting of the METROPOLITAN CHARITY CHILDREN is anticipated. THE SATURDAY WINTER CONCERT Will be resumed in November, as during the last Season. Every opportunity will be taken to widen the range and increase the attractions of these Concerts, and to add to the convenience of the visitors who attend them. With the latter intention, in obedience to a desire very generally expressed, it has been determined that a limited number of Reserved Seats will be provided at each Concert. OPEN AIR MUSIC. Performances of Music by a Band of WIND INSTRUMENTS in the open air having, during former seasons, afforded much gratification to the Public, it is proposed to resume these performances during the coming Summer months, at frequent intervals, and at such times of the afternoon as will be most convenient for the largest number of Visitors. LECTURES. The Lectures delivered by Mr. Pepper during the past Autumn and Winter will be resumed at the end of the Summer Season, and no exertions will be spared to make them efficient and interesting. THE GREAT HANDEL FESTIVAL. The dates of each performance will be as follows:-- Monday June 20 “MESSIAH.” Wednesday, June 22 “DETTINGEN TE DEUM:” Selections from “SAUL,” “SAMSON,” “BELSHAZZAR,” “JUDAS MACCABEUS,” and other Works.

PARK, GROUNDS, AND OUT-DOOR AMUSEMENTS. These will continue to receive the attention of the Directors. The Cricket Ground is rising into public favour, and is becoming the resort of several clubs of importance; a Rifle Ground, a Bowling Green, and a Gymnasium of approved construction, are now added to it.
