PROS PECTUS.
The object of this association is to promote the develop-
anent of the resources of Sweden and Norway, by facilitating
he application of capital to safe and profitable enterprise,
and it is after mature consideration and consultation in Eng-
amid and abroad, with persons interested in the progress of
the kingdom of Sweden and Norway, and thoroughly ac-
quainted with her resources and necessities, that the Di-
rectors with confidence submit this undertaking to the
public as a sound and highly profitable one to its share-
holders.
Suck an institution as the present is required in no country
'More than in Sweden and Norway, whose vast forests, inex-
2iaustible mineral deposits, increasing agriculture and com-
rnerce, and rapidly rising manufactures, have for years past
demanded financial facilities, obtainable only by means of
direct credit operations.
In a letter received from a high authority in Stockholm it
is stated that " the opening of the few railways now in use
has given a great impetus to remunerative undertakings, for
'Which the country itself has not capital ; and it is not too
Much to say that in the next three years many millions
aterling
h can be readily invested." Six years ago, a Bank,
(under the title of the " Enskilda (private) Bank," was formed
in S_toelchoim, which immediately created a largebusinesstor
Itself, and has since continued it with great success ; the
aztlual dividend, reserve included. being between 25 and 30
Par cent. on the original amount of the shares.
The Directors have taken power to issue the Company's
Debentures against the mortgag s held by the Company,
at ictly confining the amount of the Debentures to the
amount invested in mortgages, and a system of registration
be adopted for the protection of the Debenturr! holders.
Considerable profit is anticipated from this bra, oh of ope-
rations, as the funds of the Company can thus be turned over
freqnently.
From the above sources of profit, the Directors, therefore,
Confidently anticipate at least as great a success for th.s corn-
Pan), as has invariably attended similar institutions on the
Continent, while, in addition to the profit derived from a
Merely local business, the English, Swedish, and Continent al
Pinancial Company (Limited will add grea ly to its income
through the large agency business which takes place between
the North of Enrope, England. and various continental cities,
,of which it will, to a considerable extent, be made the
medium.

It cannot be doubted that the influential support given to
the Company, both in England and abroad, will secure,
Immediately, an ample field for safe and lucrative business.
The Swedish Loan, lately so successfully negotiated in Lon-
don, pledged to be devoted entirely to advancing the con-
struction of railways. will greatly contribute to the profitable
enlargement of that field.
Several important operations are in course of negotiation
in Sweden and elsewhere and awaiting the istabishment of
This Company, the business of which will be =ducted by the
-Directors on the basis adopted by he principal credit com •
panies. Besides the arrangements, nearly completed, for the
management of the Company's business in Sweden, negotia-
tions are vet,ding for establishing influential agencies in the
principal commercial cities of the Continent, the Mediterra-
nean, and tae Black Sea.

A pplications for t hares must be accompanied by the deposit
of £1 per share, to be paid o the rompany'a banke s. Shou d
no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full;
and if a less number of shares is allotted than is applied for,
the overp us will be used towards the payment on allotment.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be

tion may be seen at the solicitors of the Company.
