proper reception of the various products intended
for Exhibition from the different Colonies may be
estimated by the fact that the cost of the buildings
now in course of erection, in connection with those
of the Public Library, will amount to £22,000.
Recommending this fact to your notice, I have the
honor to forward you herewith, a supply of our
principal circulars, with a view to aiding any action
taken by your Province in the matter. I would also
beg leave to suggest, that in order to afford time for
the preparation of our catalogue, it is most desirable
that a list of your contributions, with the names and
addresses of the exhibitors, should be sent in to us at
the earliest opportunity; and it would further add to
the interest of your department if the collection was
accompanied with a descriptive outline of the re-
sources and characteristics of the Province or Colony
represented, similar to the hand books issued by the
various Colonies at the London Exhibition of 1862.
I have, &c.,
J. G. KNIGHT,
Secretary.
