The above COMMITTEE has been formed for the purpose of organizing an
EXHIBITION OF WORKS OF ANCIENT AND MEDIAEVAL ART. The SOCIETY OF ARTS
having considered that such an Exhibition is not only likely to be
interesting to the public, but also to be especially useful to
Manufacturers (with reference to the Exhibition of Works of Industry of
all Nations to be held in the year 1851), have placed a portion of their
Rooms at the disposal of the Committee, and have agreed to adopt the
Exhibition as part of that annually made by the Society, thereby taking
all the expenses connected with it upon themselves. The Committee,
regarding the Exhibition in the twofold character contemplated by the
Society of Arts, have resolved that the objects of ancient and mediaeval
art of which the Exhibition is to be composed, shall, as far as
possible, be selected with reference to their beauty and the practical
illustration which they are likely to afford of processes of
manufacture; and now beg to invite the possessors of Works deemed
suitable for such an exhibition to assist the Committee in their very
important office, by entering into communication with them, respecting
the nature of any objects which they may be willing to offer for
exhibition.

It is requested that all Works proposed for exhibition be punctually
sent to the Rooms of the SOCIETY OF ARTS, John Street, Adelphi, on or
