Is stated 10 be 80 By The Government Of rs country
Having once been put in communication with 4
Central Authority IN any country, they must de-
cine, absolutely and entirely, any communication
with private and unauthorized individuals and.
! should any such be addressed To them, ihey caI,
only refer to a central body. This decision is
essentially necessary, in order 70 proven, con-
fusion. .a =
i"No articles Of foreign manufacture, TO whom.
soever they may belong, or wheresoeyer they NAV
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless they
come with the sanction Of the Central AUTHORITY
| Of the country of which they are the produce
The Commissioners do not insist upon such AMI
cles being in all cases actually forwarded by tie
Central Authority, though they consider that this
would generally be the most satisfactory arrange
ment ; but it is indispensable that the sanction of
such authority should in all cases be expressly
given, and that it be held responsible for rhe III.
ness Of such articles for exhibition, and for nor
authorizing the exhibition of greater quantity
than can be accommodated in the space assigned
| to the productions of the country in question.
