may range with the catalogues of 1851 and las, and will
be published in part* The name, address, and business of
every exhibitor will be printed in large type (small pion),
with a brief general description of the objects exhibited by
each. The printing and paper of this portion will be pro-

more claws will form a part, and each part will be sold for
one shilling (in the building). Editions of 10,000 of each
part will be printed off from time to time. The exhibitors
may insert any minute descriptions of the articles they
