PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS IN REFERENCE TO EACH OF TIIE FOUR SECTIONS.

Section I. —Raw Materials and Produce.

Division (A.)— Mineral Kingdom.

134. It is desirable that the Raw Materials should bo shown in connexion with the producoof the Mineral Kingdom so as to form a history and explanation of the processes employed tofit them lor the useful and ornamental purposes of life. The Exhibition would thus com-prehend :

135. Illustrations of the various modes of extracting and preparing the Daw Materials forProduco.

13(1. Illustrations of methods of reducing, working, or combining Raw Materials, so as toobtain I'roduets which may aftorwards receivo applications to the usoful or ornamentalpurposes of life.

137. The Specimens fitted for exhibition should include only those remarkable for theirexcellence, for novelty in their occurrence or application, or economy of their extraction orpreparation ; or,

142. Although in arranging this class for exhibition it will generally bo found advisable toseparate tho Products from tho Producing Mechanism, yet tho latter should always boaccompanied with sufficient specimens of tho Raw Material, in its several stages of manufacture,and of tho finished product, to make tho operation of tho Machinery intelligiblo.

143. The complete series of tools and machinery that belongs to tho manufacture of anyobject of common use, such as a watch, a button, or a needle, accompanied by specimens oftho object and its parts, in their various stages of progress, is so instructive and interesting,that it is very desirable to obtain several suini series for tho proposed Exhibition.
