ABSTRACT
England has invited the civilized world to meet in its great commercial centre; asking it, in friendly rivalry, to display for the common advantage of all, those objects which each country derives from the gifts of nature, and on which it confers additional utility by processes of industrial art. England has invited the judgment of the world upon its Arts and its Industry – science appeals to the same tribunal against its ingratitude and its injustice. The great mass of consumers are always anxious to know the price of a commodity. The exception should be exemptions granted by officers of the Commission, and the ground of those exemptions should be stated on the respective articles. Different prices for the very same article are often demanded by retail tradesmen, according to the supposed position of the purchaser.
