Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Artisans Selected by a Committee Appointed by the Council of the Society of Arts to Visit the Paris Universal Exhibition, 1867 The workmen were accredited in Paris to M. Haussoullier, who had been appointed by Her Majesty's Commissioners to the charge of the British Workman's Hall in the Exhibition building. This gentleman not only procured for them lodgings, and afforded them useful hints in visiting the Exhibition, but was indefatigable in his efforts to obtain permission for them to visit the manufactories and workshops connected with their respective trades, facilities which (with very few exceptions) were readily and courteously afforded by the French manufacturers. The Society of Arts also secured the special services of M. Fouche (an artisan-member of the Conseil des Prud'hommes) as interpreter, who accompanied the men in their visits to the Exhibition and to the various industrial establishments just referred to. The services of these gentlemen were most valuable, and are so warmly acknowledged by the men themselves in their reports, that further remarks upon them are needless.
