The catalog was produced to coincide with the museum's removal to and re-opening in its newly opened location at Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. Bullock accumulated a large collection of antiquities and natural history specimens, which in the late 1790s he exhibited at Sheffield in a Museum of Natural Curiosities before being moved to Liverpool in 1801. In 1808 Bullock published a descriptive catalog of the collection, including objects which had been brought back by members of James Cook's expeditions. The continued success of the museum prompted its move to London in 1809. The catalog opens with a list of ladies and gentlemen who presented curiosities to the museum. This is followed by a description of Quadrupeds, including the platypus. The London museum section begins with a detailed description of items from Captain Cook's South Sea voyages, all assembled in the Sandwich Island Case and two smaller subsidiary cases. The small glass case C contained a jumble of objects: a North American belt, an African cap, Chinese coins, clear plates of natural mica, and lumps of asbestos. After a description of the silk stockings of James I, there follows cases of various nations and continents. The collection continued to be on exhibition until 1819, when its 32,000 items were disposed of by auction. See: Altick, R.D. Shows of London, pages 235-252.
