Thirty
first-rate
pictures
,
uniformly
framed
,
separated
by
bright
drapery
,
ornamented
the
walls
,
which
were
hung
with
tapestry
of
severe
design
.
I
saw
works
of
great
value
,
the
greater
part
of
which
I
had
admired
in
the
special
collections
of
Europe
,
and
in
the
exhibitions
of
paintings
.
Some
admirable
statues
in
marble
and
bronze
,
after
the
finest
antique
models
,
stood
upon
pedestals
in
the
corners
of
this
magnificent
museum
.
Amazement
,
as
the
Captain
of
the
Nautilus
had
predicted
,
had
already
begun
to
take
possession
of
me
.
"
Professor
,
"
said
this
strange
man
,
"
you
must
excuse
the
unceremonious
way
in
which
I
receive
you
,
and
the
disorder
of
this
room
.
"
"
Sir
,
"
I
answered
,
"
without
seeking
to
know
who
you
are
,
I
recognise
in
you
an
artist
.
"
"
An
amateur
,
nothing
more
,
sir
.
Formerly
I
loved
to
collect
these
beautiful
works
created
by
the
hand
of
man
.
I
sought
them
greedily
,
and
ferreted
them
out
indefatigably
,
and
I
have
been
able
to
bring
together
some
objects
of
great
value
.
These
are
my
last
souvenirs
of
that
world
which
is
dead
to
me
.
In
my
eyes
,
your
modern
artists
are
already
old
;
they
have
two
or
three
thousand
years
of
existence
;
I
confound
them
in
my
own
mind
.
Masters
have
no
age
.
"
Under
elegant
glass
cases
,
fixed
by
copper
rivets
,
were
classed
and
labelled
the
most
precious
productions
of
the
sea
which
had
ever
been
presented
to
the
eye
of
a
naturalist
.
My
delight
as
a
professor
may
be
conceived
.
Apart
,
in
separate
compartments
,
were
spread
out
chaplets
of
pearls
of
the
greatest
beauty
,
which
reflected
the
electric
light
in
little
sparks
of
fire
;
pink
pearls
,
torn
from
the
pinna-marina
of
the
Red
Sea
;
green
pearls
,
yellow
,
blue
,
and
black
pearls
,
the
curious
productions
of
the
divers
molluscs
of
every
ocean
,
and
certain
mussels
of
the
water
courses
of
the
North
;
lastly
,
several
specimens
of
inestimable
value
.
Some
of
these
pearls
were
larger
than
a
pigeon
's
egg
,
and
were
worth
millions
.
Therefore
,
to
estimate
the
value
of
this
collection
was
simply
impossible
.
Captain
Nemo
must
have
expended
millions
in
the
acquirement
of
these
various
specimens
,
and
I
was
thinking
what
source
he
could
have
drawn
from
,
to
have
been
able
thus
to
gratify
his
fancy
for
collecting
,
when
I
was
interrupted
by
these
words
:
"
You
are
examining
my
shells
,
Professor
?
Unquestionably
they
must
be
interesting
to
a
naturalist
;
but
for
me
they
have
a
far
greater
charm
,
for
I
have
collected
them
all
with
my
own
hand
,
and
there
is
not
a
sea
on
the
face
of
the
globe
which
has
escaped
my
researches
.
