"The Commissioners have felt that il would be
desirable as far a. possible, to prevent any per-
admitted, rather fhan TO reject The srticIss nf,er
their arrival in London. They feel aIeo that H.
delicate and responsible task Of decidin6 IN ths
admission rejection of articles destned fnr ex.
hibuon by foreign contributors ought not 10 Be ic
posed upon any English tribunal, but shosid be
referred TO one iving the confidence Of the exh,
btors hers, yes, and standing entirely free ffom
possible .nputations of national partially. Thev
accc- .ingly propose to admit to exhibition sucb
foreign articles only may be forwarded to them
by the Central Authority (whateyer may be rs
nature) IN each country. They will communicate
to, such Central Authority the amount Of snacs
which can be allowed to the productions Of ths
country for which it acts, and viii also state the
condltions and limitations which NAV from time
to time be decided ON with respect to the admisson
Of articles. All articles forwarded by such Cen
traI Authority will then be admitted, provided thew
do not require greater aggregate amount of
space than that assigned to the productions or RI.
country from which they come; and, provided.
also, that they do not violate the conditions and
limitations of which due notice shall have been
given twill rest with the Central Authority in
each country to decide upon the merits Of the
several articles presented for exhibition. and 70
take that those which are sent are s,ch 80
farly represent the industry Of their felIow-coun
trymen.

nayinS once been put in communication with a
Centfai Authority IN any country, they Jnust de-
cline, absolutely and entirely, any Communicative

No articles of foreign manufacture ~ ,,,bor,
soever they may belong, or wheresoever thew nav
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless tbeyy
come with the sanction Of the Central Authoritv
OF the country Of which they are the produce.
Inc commissioners do not insist upon snch art,-
cles being in all cases actually forwarded H., tha
Central Authority, though they consider thai this
would generally be the most satisfactory arranre-
ment but 1t is indispensable that the sanction of
such authority should in all cases be exnressIv
given, and that it be held responsible FOR the ~
ness of such articles for exhibition and far no,
authorizing the exhibition of a greater QUANTITY
than can be accommodated in the space assio,- ed
to the productions of the country in question:
