g The Commissioners have felt that il would be
desirable, as far as possible TO prevent any per-
sons from sending hither articles which cannot be
admitted, rather than TO reject the articles affer
their arrival in London. They feel also tbat he
ldelieate and responsible task OF decidine % The
admission or rejection Of articles destined for ex

acccv ,ngly propose to admit TO exhibition s,icb
foreign articles only as may be forwarded To tba,

Which can be allowed to the productions of the

conditions and limitations which may from, lime

do not require a greater aggregate amount Of
space than that assigned to the productions or the
country from which they come and proyided

No articles of foreign manufacture, to whom
Esoever they may belong, or wheresoever they NAV
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless they
come with the sanction of the Central Authority

cles being IN all cases actually forwarded by the
! Central Authority, though they consider thai This
would generally be the most satisfactory arranse
ment; but IT IS indispensable that the sanction of
such authority should in all cases be expressly
given, and that il be held responsible for the fi-
neas Of such articles for exhibition and for not
authorizing the exhibition of greater quantity
than can be accommodated in the space assigned
