desirable, as far possible, to prevent any per-
sons from sending hither articles which cannot be
admitted, rather than to reject the articles nftsr

foreign articles only as may be forwarded 10 them
by the Central Authority (whateyer may be it,

to such Central Authority the amount of snaee
which can be allowed to the productions Of the
country for which il acts, and will also state Tie
conditions and limitations which NAV from lima

cles being in all cases actually Forwarded bv the
central Authority, though they consider that this
would generally be the most satisfactory arranpa
ment ; but it is indispensable that the Sanction IF
such authority should in all cases be expressiv
given, and that it be held responsible for The ~
ness Of such articles for exhibition, and for not
authorizing the exhibition of greater ouant;tv

to the productions of the country in question:
