Right Honorable Sir H. L. BuLw Err, Sc
Extract from the Circular Of the Royal Commits
sioneTs.
"The Commissioners have felt that it would be
desirable, far as possible, to prevent any per-
sons from sending hilher articles which cannot be
admitted, rather than to reject the articles after
their arrival in London. They feel also that the
delicate and responsible task OF deciding on the
admission rejection of articles destined for ex-
hlbltiOn by foreign contributors ought not to be inn
posed upon any English tribunal, but should be
referred TO lving the confidence of the exhi-
bitors theirs yes and standing entirely free from
possible .hputations of national partially. They
accc lngy propose to admit to exhibition such
foreign articles only may be forwarded to them
by the Central Authority (whateyer may be its
nature) in each country. They will communicate
to such Central Authority the amount of space
which can be allowed TO the productions of the
country for which it acts, and will also state the
conditions and limitations which may from time
time be decided on with respect to the admission
Of articles. All articles forwarded by such Cen
trial Authority will then be admitted provided thew
do not require il greater aggregate amount of
space than that ASST gned to the productions Of the
country from which they come; and, provided
also, that they do not violate the conditions and
limitations of which due notice shall have been
gwen. 1t Will rest with the Central Authority in
each country to decide upon the merits of the
several articles presented for exhibition and IN
take care that those which sent are such as
, fairly represent the industry Of their feow-coun
, trymen.

Having once been put in communication with n
Central Authority in any country, they must d.
cline, absolutely and entirely, any communication
with private and unauthorized individuals and
should any such be addressed to them. thew c,n
only refer to central body. This decision is
essentially necessary, in order to prevent con-
fusion.
"No articles of foreign manufacture, to whom
soever they may belong, or whercsoever thew NAV
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless they
come with the sanction of the Central Authorize
of the country of which they are the produce

such authority should in all cases be expressly
given, and that il be held responsible for the fl
