Extract from the Circular Of the Royal Commits
Il sioneTs. ............t .I.,. .
i "The Commissioners have felt that it would be
desirable, as far as possible, to prevent any per-
sons from sending hither articles which cannot lie
i admitted, rather than TO reject the articles after
their arrival in London, They feel also thai lie
delicate and responsible task Of deciding on lie
admission or rejection of articles destined for es
hibton by foreign contributors oughtn not to be n,-
posed upon any English tribunal, but should e
referred TO one lving the confidence of the exh;-
btors heTs ives, and standing entirely free from
possible .hpuaiions Of national partiaaty. They
accc' Ingly propose to admit to exhibition such
foreign articles only as may beforwarled to them
by the Central Authority (whatever may be is
nature) in each country. They will communicate
TO such Central Authority the amount Of s,,ae e
which can be allowed to the productions of lie
country for which il acts, and will also state II e
conditions and limitations which may from tine
II to time be decided on with respect to the edmissi,n
of articles. All articles forwarded by such Gem
trail Authority will then he admitted provided they
do not require greater aggregate amount II
space than that assigned to tie productions of tie
country from which they come; and provided.
also, that they do not violate the conditions n, d
limitations of which due notice shall have BEEN
gwen. 1t wlArest with the Central Authority IN
each country to decide upon the merits of tje
several articles presented for exhibition, and IN
take care that those which are sent are such 10
fairly represent the industry of their feIlow-con-
4 rymen.
"Her Majesty's Commissioners win consider
that to be the Central Authority in each case
is stated 10 be so by The Government of lis couotn
Having once been put in communication with q
Central Authority III any country, they must DE-,
cline, absolutely and entirely, any cominunicatirn
with private and unauthorized individuals all,
should any such be addressed to them thew EN-
only refer to central body. This decision il =.
essentially necessary, in order to prevent coa-
fusion.
"No articles of foreign manufacture, to whom.
soever they may belong, or wheresoever they nav
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless r. "
come with the sanction of the Central Authoy,yy
Of the country of which they are the produce
he Commissioners do not insist upon such a,i
cles being IN all cases actually forwarded bv ne
Central Authority, though they consider that ,Eis
would generally be the most satisfactory "a.
ment but 1t Is indispensable that the sanction Of
such authority should in all cases be express v
given, and that it be held responsible for the IL,
ness OF such articles for exhibition, aud for rot
authorizing the exhibition of greater Guant;v
than can be accommodated in the space ASSIGN II
to the productions of the country in question, :
a full discussion was then had of the subject
thus ald before the committee, and, Oh motion of
