Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rules, Regulations, and Bye-Laws With List of Members: 1899 This Club comprised most if not all Of the same circle, who, with many others, used to hold social gatherings on several evenings'during the London season at each othei's houses in turn, and Charming receptions were given at some Of the principal houses in London when collections of Works Of Art and Vertu were brought together for exhibition. This was at a time when Club houses, now so numerous, were few, and there was none specially dedicated to Art and its Collectors, and also before the foundation Of the South Kensington Museum, or when it was only in the early years Of its ex istence. At this time, also, the collections at the British Museum were far less extensive than at present. With the exception Of the gatherings occasionally held at the Royal Society Of Antiquaries, this social society gave at the time to those interested in the Fine Arts almost the only Opportunities of showing and comparing their collections.
