The progressive development of those arts is also to be shown comparatively. The requirements of the organic Act were carefully considered in the formation of the system of classification which follows. This system is based on the idea of evolution or derivation of manufactured products from the crude materials of the earth. It groups objects in the following order: — 1. The natural products of the earth useful to man, or the basis of manufactures. 2. The manufactures, and results of the combinations and working of such products. 3. The means and appliances by which the results have been attained. 4. The resultant effects of such productive activity. This is a comprehensive general expression of the classification. The raw or unmanufactured materials are placed first, at the base or foundation, and then in succession as nearly as possible in the order of their development, the results of the use of these materials, placing at the end the higher achievements of intellect and imagination.
