PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT . The Crystal Palace at Sydenha , m is highly prized by all classes of the community as affording , on a grand scale , the means of Intellectual Improvement and Physical Recreat tion . It is , moreover , the embodiment of an idea , which admits of great expansion , in the direction which now so largely occupies the public mind—viz . Popular Education ; Enormous sums of money have been spent in providing railway accommodation for visitors , but the time and expense of reaching Sydenham from many parts of the metropolis and its suburbs operates as a sreat drawback to numbers ; and ill the case of large masses of the people , amounts almost to a prohibition . . ' ¦ ¦ " . The immense and growing population on the left side of the Thames is entitled to a Palace of its own . In this district are situated the-termini of the London and North Western , the Great "Western , the Great Northern , the North London , the Eastern Counties , aiid the Blaekwall Railways ; and a glance at the Post Office Directory Map will show that the population on this side is nearly threefold as great as that oruiho right bank of the river . A site has been selected for the erection of the Palace of the People" at Muswell Hill , near Hornscy , Middlesex , which possesses unrivalled advantages for this purpose . It commands extensive and beautiful views in all directions , over the counties of Hertford , Middlesex , Essex , Kent , and Surrey ; including , amongst other points of interest , Epping Forest , the Heights of ChiRwell , the Shipping on the Thames , Shooter ' s Hill , -the Crystal Palace at Sydenham , the new Houses of Parliament , and Highgato and Hampstead Churches . The ground is undulating and well timbered , with abundant springs of water ; and the situation is considered remarkably healthy . The advantages of this site for building purposes were so obvious , as to induce the Great Northern Railway Company to open a station on the property itself , and the journey from London will be performed in fifteen minutes . A short branch is also projected from tho Eastern Counties Railway , which will place it in direct communication by railway with Shoreditch , Fen church-street , and Blaekwall . Tho " Palace of the People" will form tho centre of a densely populated district , including Hornsoy , Muswell Hill , Colnoy Hatch , Highgate , Kentish Town . Hampstead , Hondon , Finchley , Totteridge , Barnet , East Barnot , Southgate . lEdmonton , Enfleld , Stoke Newington , Tottenham , Clapton , Homerton , Hackney , Kingsland . Flnsbury , Islington , Highbury , Holloway , Cainden Town , Hyde Park , the Regent ' s Park , Maida Hill , St . John ' s Wood , Paddnigton , and Bajswator . . From all these places it will bp within oitlier an easy walk or an hour ' s drivo , without going through London . Passongors by railway from all tho eastern , western , midland , and northern counties of England , and from tho wholo of Scotland and Wales , will roach tho Palace without traversing the streets of London , within one hour after alighting at tho metropolitan railway termini ; and all those who avrfvo by the Groat Northern Railway will bo sot down at tho doors . , ... Tho Palaco of tho People" is established in no spirit of rivalry to its predecessor , but with tho viow of affording to bo extensive a range of customers similar advantages to those now enjoyed by tho inhabitants of tho southern bank of tho rivers and its foundors boHovo that a fair competition in tho serrico of tho public can only prove in tho end mutually beneficial to both undertakings . Whilst presenting the most varied amusements within the building and in tho grounds , tho Palaco of tho People will occupy a flold of its own , for which tliwo is a growing demand on tho part of tho public . ¦ Systematic ) Instruction In several of tho most important and - popular branches of education will bo convoyed through the pyo in a form and upon a soalo which can bo accomplished only in an institution of suoh magnitude ! and in tho attainment of this end recourse will bo had to the assistance and odvlco of tho most oinlnont nion in tho country . Amongst the most important subject * will be included — J . English History—Illustrated In chronological order by pictures , statues , armour , implements of trade and husbandry , costumes , and models of tho architecture of the diuoront ngos . 2 . Geography—Exhibited on largo maps and raised plans , accompanied by specimens of tho productions , costume , and habits of living of all nations \ togothor with models of some of tho most romnrkablo buildings of each country . 3 . Astronomy—With Us brilliant ana striking phonomona , illustrated by moans of largo and powerful apparatus . 4 . Geology—Presented to the oyo by mortals , or actual specimens in bulk , of the stratification of rocks , with their respective fossil remains and mineral deposits , arranged according to tholx- rolntlvo portions .
