the Foreign Office to our representatives abroad,
announcing to foreign countries that the exhibit

nouncing the determination to hold the exhibition
have also been forwarded from the Council of India
and from the Colonial Office to the governors of
our colonies inviting the cooperation of the pro-
guarantee deed goes on rapidly. The amount of
f250 900 having been signed, the Bank of England

committee came to the following conclusons:-
With regard to the foreign schools to be represent
ed in the Exhibition, that it should be left to each
country to fix the limitations under which its Sc
ections should be made, each being informed of the
space allotted to it, and of the understanding that
the selection is to be made with view to exhibit
the present condition of the school, With regard
to the English school, the committee came to the
decision that the collection should include the
works of masters who have lived since 1852, so as
to take in Hogarth, Hudson, Reynolds, Gainsbor-
ough and Wilson. These conclusions seem to com
mend themselves to common sense more than any
involving the selection of chronological limitations
to be binding on all schools alike, without any re-
ference to the circumstances of particular schools
or the Judgment of these who will have to make
the selection of pictures.
