control of the accredited representatives
of that country, subject only to the ne-
cessary general regulations.

117. For the purposes of the Cata-
     logue, it will be necessary that the Central
     Authority of each Foreign Country should
     furnish to the Executive Committee of the Exhibition, on or before the 1st of February, 1862,
     a list 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 careful and perfect an illustra-tion 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 entrusted to Committees to be nominated by Her Majesty’s Commis-sioners.

120. In the case of living artists, Her Majesty’s Commissioners would desire to consult 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 necessarily be binding upon Her Majesty’s Commissioners, but in no case will any work by a living artist be exhi-bited against his wish, if expressed in writing, and delivered to the Commis-sioners 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 com-municating with artists who are members of those Institutions, viz. :—

The Royal Academy.
The Royal Scottish Academy.
The Royal Hibernian Academy.
The Society of Painters in Water Colours.
The Society of British Artists.
The New Society of Painters in Water Colours.
The Institute of British Artists.
The Institute of British Architects.

122. Intending Exhibitors in the Brit-ish Division of Section IV., who are not members of any of the preceding Insti-tutions, may at once receive Forms of Demand for Space, by applying to the Secretary to Her Majesty’s Commis-sioners. These Forms must be filled up and returned before the 1st of June, 1861.

By order,
F. R. SANDFORD,
Secretary.
