Extract from the Circular u tAs Royal Ce~wi.-
sioners.
"The Commissioners have felt that it would be
desirable, far az possible, to prevent any oer-
sons from sending hither 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-
hbtion by foreign contributors ought not to be m-
posed upon any English tribunal, but should be
referred to one lving the confidence Of the exh-
bltors theTs..ves, and standing entirely free nom
possible -nputations of national partially. They
ncccv .ngly propose to admit to exhibition such
foreign articles only may be forwarded 10 then,
by the Central Authority whatever may be its
nature) in each country. They will communicats
to such Central Authority the amount of sn.,.
which can be allowed to the productions Of he
country for which it acts, and will also state IN.
conditions and limitations which may from ti,ns
to tme-be decided on with respect TO the admission
of articles. All articles forwarded by such Cen.
trail Authority will then be admitted, provided thew
do not require a greater aggregate amount ~
space than that assigned to the productions Of The
country from which they come; and. provided.
also, that they do not violate the condition. and
limitations of which due notice shall have been
given. 1t will rest with the Central Authority 10
each country to decide upon the merits Of the
several articles presented for exhibition. and 10
take care that those which are sent are such ..
fairly represent the industry Of their fellow-couu
trymen.
