several articles presented for exhibition, and
to take care that those which are sent are
such as fairly represent the industry of their
follow-countrymen.

103. Separate space will be allotted to each
     Foreign Country, within which the Commis-
     sioners for that country will be at liberty to
     arrange the productions entrusted to them in
     such manner as they think best, subject to
     the condition that all Machinery shall be
     exhibited in the portion of the building spe-
     cially devoted to that purpose, and all Pictures
     in the Fine Art Galleries, and to the observ-
     ance of any general rules that may be laid
     down by Her Majesty's Commissioners for
     public convenience.

104. By arrangements made with Her
     Majesty's Government, all Foreign or Colo-
     nial Goods intended for exhibition, sent and
     addressed in accordance with Regulations
     hereafter to be issued, will be admitted into
     the country, and allowed to be transmitted
     to the Exhibition Building without being

105. It is not the intention of Her Majesty's

DECISIONS SPECIALLY APPLICABLE TO
Section 4.-Modern Fine Arts.
Class 37. Architecture.
" 38. Paintings in Oil and Water
Colors and Drawings.
" 39. Sculpture, Models, Die-sinking
and Intaglios.
" 40. Engravings and Etchings.

110. The object of the Exhibition being to
     illustrate the progress and present condition
     of Modern Art, each country will decide the
     period of Art which in its own case will best
     attain that end.

111. The Exhibition of British Art in
     this Section will include the works of artists
     alive on or subsequent to the 1st of May, 1762.

112. It is not proposed to award PRIZES
     in this Section.

113. PRICES will not be allowed to be affixed
     to any Work of Art exhibited in this Section.

114. One half of the space to be allotted
     to Section IV. will be given to Foreign Coun-
     tries, and one half will be reserved for the
     works of British and Colonial Artists.

115. The subdivision of the space allotted
     to Foreign Countries will be made, after con-
     sideration of the demands received from the
     Commission, or other Central Authority, of
     each Foreign Country. It is, therefore, im-
     portant that these demands should be trans-
     mitted to Her Majesty's Commissioners at
     the earliest possible date.

116. The arrangement of the Works of Art
     within the space allotted to each Foreign
     Country will be entirely under the control of
     the accredited representatives of that country,
     subject only to the necessary general regula-
     tions.

117. For the purposes of the Catalogue, it
     will be necessary that the Central Authority
     of each Foreign Country should furnish Her
     Majesty's Commissioners, on or before the 1st
     of January, 1862, with a description of the
     several Works of Art which will be sent for
     exhibition, specifying in each case, the name
     of the artist, the title of the work, and (when
     possible) the date of its production.

118. The space at the disposal of Her
     Majesty's Commissioners for the display of
     British Art being limited, and it being at the
     same time desirable to bring together as care-
     ful and perfect an illustration as possible, a
     selection of the works to be exhibited will be
     indispensable.

119. The selection of Exhibitors, the space
     and number of works to be allowed to each,
     and the arrangement of them, will be en-
     trusted to Committees to be nominated by
     Her Majesty's Commissioners.

120. In the case of living artists, Her
     Majesty's Commissioners would desire to con-
     sult the wishes of the artists themselves as to
     the particular works by which they would
     prefer to be represented. The selection of
     works so made by the artists will not neces-
     sarily be binding upon Her Majesty's Com-
     missioners, but in no case will any work by a
     living artist be exhibited against his wish, if
     expressed in writing, and delivered to the
     Commissioners on or before the 31st of
     March, 1862.

121. Her Majesty's Commissioners will
     avail themselves of the following eight Art
     Institutions of this country in communicating
     with artists who are members of those Insti-
     tutions, viz.:-
     The Royal Academy,
     The Royal Scottish Academy,
     The Royal Hibernian Academy,
     The Society of Painters in Water Colors,
     The Society of British Artists,
     The New Society of Painters in Water
     Colors,
     The Institute of British Artists,
     The Institute of British Architects.
