Prices may be affixed to the articles
exhibited in Sections I., II., III. -
Her Majesty's Commissioners will be
prepared to receive all articles which may be
sent to them, on or after Wednesday the 12th
of February, and will continue to receive
goods until Monday the 31st of March, 1862,
inclusive. -
Articles of great size or weight, the
placing of which will require considerable
labour, must be sent before Saturday, the 1st
of March, 1862; and manufacturers wishing
to exhibit machinery, or other objects, that
will require foundations or special construc-
tions, must make a declaration to that effect
on their demands for space. -
Any exhibitor whose goods can properly
be placed together, will be at liberty to
arrange such goods in his own way, provided
his arrangement is compatible with the general
scheme of the Exhibition, and the conveni-
ence of other exhibitors. -
Where it is desired to exhibit processes
of manufacture, a sufficient number of articles,
however dissimilar, will be admitted for the
purpose of illustrating the process; but they
must not exceed the number actually re-
quired. (17-25.)* -
Exhibitors will be required to deliver
their goods at such part of the building as
shall be indicated to them, with the freight,
carriage, porterage, and all charges and dues
upon them paid. -
The vans will be unloaded, and the
articles and packages taken to the places
appointed in the building, by the officers of
Her Majesty's Commissioners. -
Upon receipt of notice from Her
Majesty's Commissioners that the articles are
deposited in the building, exhibitors, or their
representatives, or agents, must themselves
unpack put together, and arrange their goods. -
Packing cases must be removed at the
cost of the exhibitors, or their agents, as soon
as the goods are examined and deposited in
charge of the Commissioners. If not re-
moved within three days of notice being
given, they will be disposed of, and the pro-
ceeds, if any, applied to the funds of the
Exhibition. (30-34.)* -
No counters, or fittings, will be pro-
vided by Her Majesty's Commissioners. Ex-
hibitors will be permitted, subject only to the
necessary general regulations, to erect,
according to their own taste, all the counters,
stands, glass frames, brackets, awnings, hang-
ings, or similar contrivances which they may
consider best calculated for the display of
their goods. -
Exhibitors, or their representatives,
should provide whatever light temporary
covering may be requisite, (such as sheets of
oiled calico), to protect their goods from
dust; and, in the case of machinery, and
polished goods, should make the requisite
arrangements for keeping the articles free
from rust during the time of the Exhibition.
(37-42.)* -
Exhibitors must be at the charge of
insuring their own goods, should they desire
this security. Every precaution will be
taken to prevent fire, theft, or other losses,
and Her Majesty's Commissioners will give
all the aid in their power for the legal prose-
cution of any persons guilty of robbery, or
wilful injury in the Exhibition, but they will
not be responsible for losses or damage of any
kind which may be occasioned by fire or
theft, or in any other manner. -
Exhibitors may employ assistants (male
or female) to keep in order the articles they
