Extract from The Cire~iw " tae Rsyss Cs~ai,-
aoners.
"The Commissioners have felt that il would b.
desirable, far possible, 10 prevent any Der
sons from sending hither articles which cannot b
admitted, rather than 10 reject the articles affer
their arrival in London. They feel also that the
delicate and responsible task Of deciding ON the
admission or rejection of articles destined for ex.
hibton by foreign contributors ought not 10 be I'M,
posed upon any English tribunal, but snould j.
referred TO ON" living the confidence Of the exhi-
bitors themselves, and standing entirely free fom
possible -nputations Of national partialstv. Thsv
acccv -ingly propose to admit TO exhibition anch
foreign articles only as may be Forwarded To them
by the Central Authority lwhateyer may be lie

to such Central Authority the amount of .,s~.
which can be allowed to the productions 81 ths
country for which 1t acts, and will also at.te ~.
conditions and limitations which NAV ffom ,;rs
to time be decided on with respect to the admss;n.
trail Authority will then be admitted, provided th.-
do not require greater aggregate amount ~
space than that assigned to the production. ~ IL
country from which they come; and. provide
also, that they do not violate the Conditions ~
limitations OF which due notice shall have Mean
given 1t will rest with the Central Authorize =,
each country to decide upon the merits Of ths
several articles presented for exhibition. ana ~
take care that those which are sent are s,,ch -
fairly represent the industry of their feIlow-coun-
trymen.
Her Majesty's Commissioners will con.;d.-
that TO be the Central Authority in each case ,cAick
Is stated to be so by the Government of Il, co,.n,,.
Having once been put in communication w;sn
Central Authority In any country they mnst de-
cline, absolutely and entirely, any com ,n,,n;c.,;o,
with private and unauthorized .indiyidusl. !. ami
should any such be addressed to them. thev csr
only refer to central body. This decision IL
essentially necessary, in order to prevent CON.
fusion. ~
NO articles OF foreign manufacture, to whom
soever they may belong, or wheresoever thev mav
be, can be admitted for exhibition unless thsy
come with the sanction Of the Central Authorize
OF OF me country or which they are the produce;
The Commissioners do not insist upon such nj,
cles beng IN all cases actually forwarded bv N.
Central Authority, though they consider tha;; ~.
would generally be the most satisfactory ARRANGE
ment but IT is indispensable that the sanctior of
such authority should in all cases be exnrsss,,
given, and that it be held responsible for The si.
ness of such articles for exhibition and for nv,
authorizing the exhibition Of a greater oIant;t,,
than can be accommodated in the sps = ass;o ~
