vited to take part in it, will shortly be pub-
lished, and the Trustees will at once commu-
nicate them to your Grace.

In the meantime I am to state that the
Exhibition, in its leading features, will closely
resemble that of 1851—pictures, however,
being added on this occasion—and that such
preparations as can be made, in anticipation of
more detailed information, may proceed upon
this understanding.

As the demands for space, however, will,
in all probability, be very much in excess of
what it will be possible to provide, so that
quality and not quantity, will have mainly to
be looked to in deciding upon the articles to
be admitted, the Trustees hope that the
greatest care will be exercised in selecting
good specimens of the Industry and Art of
each Colony, and more especially of its natu-
ral productions.

As your Grace will readily understand that,
so soon as proper channels of correspondence
have been opened, the Trustees will have
many matters to which to draw the attention
of the Colonies, which are likely to take an
interest in the undertaking, they venture very
earnestly to request that the earliest opportu-
nity may be taken for making known the
substance of the present communication to
the various Colonial authorities.

I have, &c.,
