Tate Gallery
The idea of the Tate Gallery took shape in 1890.In that year Henry Tate's gift of sixty-five paintings and two sculptures was offered to the nation, but a gallery had to be built to house them. It was opened seven years later and consisted of eight rooms.
Since that time the collection has been greatly enlarged. It has become the national collection of British painting of all periods, and in addition to this the national collection of modern foreign paintings, and the national collection of modern sculpture both British and foreign. At present the collection contains over four thousand British paintings and drawings, over three hundred and fifty modern foreign paintings.
The Tate Gallery is now the largest picture gallery in the British Commonwealth.

Прочитайте и переведите текст со словарём. Irving Fisher Irving Fisher (1867–1947) was an American economist and statistician, his reputation today is probably higher than it was in his lifetime. Several concepts are named after him. The young Irving had mathematical ability and a flair for invention. He graduated from Yale University in 1888. Then he wrote a doctoral thesis on mathematical economics, and he was granted the first Yale Ph.D. in economics, in 1891. For more than forty years, Fisher was a professor of economics at that University. At the same time Fisher devised schemes to «stabilise» money. He was one of the first to subject macroeconomic data, including the money stock and the price level, to statistical analysis. Fisher wrote also books and articles on the problems of the First World War and the depressed 1930s.
