TEXTILE MANETACTURES OE INDIA.

18. In conclusion, I have now to suggest that the authorities in the selected
districts should, previously to the actual presentation of the work, undertake as
follows :—

1st. To provide for the permanent protection of the work by placing it in
the charge of a proper and responsible person, or persons, in a suitable
building.

2nd. To afford the requisite facilities for consulting the work; subject, however,
to the condition that under no circumstances shall any of the volumes
be removed for purposes of exhibition or reference.

3rd. That access to the work be given to any person bearing an order to
that effect signed by the President, Vice-President, or Secretary of the
Society of Arts; the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, or Secretaries of the
Chambers of Commerce; the Chairman or Secretary of the Association of
Chambers of Commerce ; the President, Vice-President,or Secretary of the
Cotton Supply Association; the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, or Secretary
of the Cotton Brokers Association; the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, or
Secretary of the Liverpool East India and China Association; by the
Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Chairmen, Vice-Chairmen, or Secretaries of
such other Associations for the promotion of Commerce as now exist, or

(Signed) J. FORBES WATSON,

Reporter on the Products of India to the
Secretary of State for India in Council.

India Museum, July 1866.

Note.—-'The foregoing conditions having been agreed to by the Chambers of
Commerce of Belfast, Bradford, Glasgow, Halifax, Liverpool, and Manchester; by the
Industrial Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh; by the Industrial Museum of Ireland
in Dublin; by the Huddersfield Mechanics’ Institution; by the Towns of Macclesfield
and Preston; and by the Borough of Salford for the Royal Peel Park Museum,—
a Set of the Volumes in question has been presented to each of these places, making,
in addition to the India Museum, attached to the Department of the Reporter on the
Products of India, thirteen places in this country where the Work can be consulted by
persons practically interested in the matter. With respect to the seven Sets for India:
These, under the instructions of the Secretary of State for India in Council, have been
forwarded for deposition in Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and Kurrachee, and in such
places in the North-Western Provinces, in the Punjab, and in Berar, as the respective
Governments of the Divisions in question may decide upon. As soon as the exact
localities have been determined by the authorities in India, intimation thereof will be
made both in this country and in India.
