"The Commissioners have felt that it would be
desirable, as far az possible, to prevent any Dsr-
sons from sending hither articles which cannot be
admitted, rather than 10 reject the articles after
their arrival in London. They feel also thai ths
| delicate and responsible task Of deciding on the
admission or rejection Of articles destined for ex-
hibltion by foreign contributors oughtn be inn
posed upon any Fnglish tribunal, but should b

to such Central Authority the amount of spaes
which can be allowed to the productions OF The
country for which il acts, and win also state the
conditions and limitations which may from time

of articles. All articles forwarded by such Cen.

do not require greater aggregate amount Of
space than that assigned to the productions Of the
country ffom which they come; and, PROVIDED,
also, that they do not violate the Condition. ani
