TRANSLATION.

His Majesty the King of the Netherlands and His Majesty the Emperor of the French, desiring to give effect to the provision of Art. 14 of the trade and shipping treaty, signed in Paris on the 25th of July 1840, in which it was agreed that literary property would be preserved, and that a special convention would further determine the conditions of application and implementation of that principle in each of the two countries;
the Emperor of the French additionally desires to continuously ensure the subjects of His Dutch Majesty of the enjoyment of the guarantees, which they already hold in France under the decree of 28 March 1852 relating to the reproduction of foreign works; accordingly, the two high contracting parties, to this end, have decided to determine in joint consultation the measures, which they consider most suited to ensure the writers or their assignees the property of their scientific and literary works, published for the first time in the Kingdom of the Netherlands or in France.
With that objective, they have appointed as their plenipotentiaries, namely:
His Majesty the King of the Netherlands, Sir Floris Adriaan of Hall, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Dutch Lion, the order of the White Falcon of Saxony-Weimar, the Leopold order of Belgium, the Ernestine order of the House of Saxony, the Imperial Russian order of the White Eagle and the Guelphic order of Hanover, Hon Minister of State and Foreign Affairs,
and His Majesty the Emperor of the French, Lord Jean Marie Armand, Baron of Andre, commander of the Imperial Order of the Legion of Honour, Grand Cross of the Pontifical Order of St. Gregory
