The remaining 17 Joint-stock Banks in Scotland are in the same
flourishing condition, and such, indeed, has been the progress of
the system that of the many private Banks formerly carrying on
business in Edinburgh only one exists at present.
The Directors, having felt that an additional Bank of this de-
scription was called for, have for some tirnebeen engaged in making
the necessary preliminary arrangements, and, having received the
most flattering encouragement and assurances of support in busi-
siness from capitalists in the metropolis and the country, they have
now resolved to commence operations without delay, feeling assured
that the judicious arrangements they have entered into, and the
principles on which the Bank will be conducted, will obtain the
confidence and support of the commercial and trading community,
and the public generally.
By taking advantage of the experience of similar establishments
which have preceded them, and avoiding whatever had been found
faulty or inconvenient in constitution or principle of management,
they anticipate that the same, if not a larger, degree of success
will mark their progress, and open up to the shareholders, as well
as to their customers, the combined and reciprocal advantages
which experience has proved will result from a Joint Stock Bank
when properly conducted.
It is the intention of the Directors to allow interest en deposit
accounts, under proper rules and regulations, which, with other
details as to the transaction of business with the Bank, will be
hereafter announced.

As a sufficient capital has already been subscribed to enable the
Directors to commence business immediately, they have resolved,
in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to ari_e
in other undertakings from au unrestricted application for shares,
and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona fide
proprieters, that they will not entertain any application unless made
in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accom-
panied by a payment of 21. upon each share applied for, the Di-
rectors reserving to themselves at the time of appropriation the
right to reject or comply with such application either in whole or
in part; the money to be returned if the application be rejected,
and if accepted to be placed to the credit of the party in respect to
the shares allotted to him. _ _

For the guidance of those who may wish to become proprietors,
it may be mentioned that it is not in contemplation to call up more
than 101. per share for the next two years.
The Directors have postponed filling up the direction to the full
number of 21, in order to give them the opportunity of selecting in-
fluential proprietors, whose assistance and co-operation they may
think it advisable to secure for the interests of the concern. Power
is reserved to them for that purpose, and they are also authorized to
complete all other arrangements necessary for putting the Company
into immediate operation.
Deposits, in accordance with the printed forms, may be paid as
under :

London—Messrs. B. and M. Boy& 4, Now Bank-buildings.
Liverpool—Liverpool Commercial Bank.
Birmingham—Birmingham and Midland Bank.
Edinburgh—National Bank of Scotland.
Glasgow—Western Bank of Scotland.
Dundee—Eastern Bank of Scotland.

" The author's treatment is so simple, so accordant with physio-
logical and pathological laws, so free from charlatanism and ima-
ginative dreams, that I not only feel a high predilectisin for it, but
think it worthy to be recommended to the irapartial and careful ex-
amination of my professional brethren."---Preface to the German
