EXPOSITION OF 1867.

line of national display, from one extremity to the other, he 
would be enabled to examine everything without inconven¬ 
ience or distraction. To render such passage easy, numerous 
alleys were opened in right line from the central garden to the 
circumference. One of these avenues—the one leading from 
the grand port, at bridge Jena, the imperial entrance—was 65 
feet in width; the United Kingdom of Grreat Britain lying to 
the right of it, and the vast area occupied by France on the 
left Its continuation on the other side of the palace in the direc¬ 
tion of L’Ecole Militaire, and also the two corresponding av¬ 
enues, whose line of direction crossed the said imperial vesti¬ 
bule, were each 46 feet wide, and the remaining twelve alleys 
were 16 feet In some cases the products of a single country 
were found lying between two of these avenues, and filling 
the entire space between them. In others, two countries 
might be found lying side by side, and both included between 
them. While in the case of countries like France, whose pro¬ 
ducts occupied large areas, they were traversed by several 
of these streets. 
But the careful student of the world’s industries would also 
naturally desire to see all the products of a given kind from 
the various countries in the world placed in juxtaposition, that 
he might the more easily compare them. This desideratum 
was met by making a series of circular avenues parallel to the 
circumference of the Palace, and crossing the transverse ave¬ 
nues at right angles; the number corresponding to the 
number of general divisions in the classification of products. 
In this simple manner, a thorough and systematic study of the 
whole Exhibition was made not only possible, but most inte¬ 
resting and agreeable. 
GENERAL ARRANGEMENT OF GROUPS OF EXHIBITS. 
The entire exhibition was divided into ten groups, as 
follows: 
I. Works of art (nearest the centre). 
II. Materials and their applications in the liberal arts.
