_2do._ Tradesmen and artificers employed in executing any work
after any of the models lodged in the repository will, on the
recommendation of a proprietor or of a subscriber for life, or
for one year, be allowed free access to such model as often as
shall be necessary; and any workman or artificer so recommended
who shall be willing to furnish to buyers any article exhibited in
the repository that is in his line of business, will be allowed
to place a specimen of such article of his manufacture in the
repository, with his name and place of abode attached to it,
together with the price at which he can furnish it, such specimen
having been examined and approved by the managers.
OF THE GOVERNMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF THE INSTITUTION.
_1mo._ All the affairs of the Institution will be directed
and governed by _nine_ managers, chosen by and from among the
proprietors of the Institution.
_2do._ For the greater convenience of the proprietors, and to
spare them the trouble of a general meeting, all the elections of
managers, after the first, will be made by ballot, by means of
sealed lists of names sent in by the proprietors individually to
the Institution, which lists will be opened, and the result of the
election ascertained and published, by the united committees of the
managers and of the visitors for the time being.
_3tio._ The first set of managers will be chosen by the first
fifty or more original subscribers, at a general meeting of them to
be held for that purpose; and of this first set of managers three
will be chosen to serve _three years_, three to serve _two years_,
and three to serve _one year_, reckoned from the 25th day of March,
1799.
_4to._ All managers, as well those of the first set as others, will
be capable of being _re-elected_ without limitation.
