eqwelly certain that its requirements and the conditions on
which the British Bank is to be incorporated, will insure to all
who may be interestedeven from the date of its institu-
af security which could formerly be obtained orly
tion, a degree
from the accumulan of years of uninterrupted rosperity. The
guarantees afforded tio
by this Act for the security of the Shareholders
and Customers of the British Bank—the first to be incorporated
tinder its provisions—are such as the constitution of no other Joint-
Stock Bank in England offers. It is intended to establish Branches
in the most important of the metropolitan districts which have been
hitherto unprovided by any Banking establishment. Some of these
are separately more populous and opulent than many provincial
cities. As the sphere of the Bank's operations will thus be greater
than that of any of the Scotch Companies, and as its mode 01 trans-
acting business is intended to be mo-e adapted to aid the trading and
middle classes than Is allowable by the constitution of the other
Joint-Stock Banks of the Metropolis, it may reasonably be expeqed
that the profits to its proprietors will be proportionably increased.
A statement of the assets and liabilities a the Bank will be pub-
lished monthly, and the Deed of Constitution and Charter will pro-
vide that its affairs shall be wound up, if at any time one-fourth of
the paid-up Capital (i.e. 121. 10s. out of 501.), have been lost.
The Accounts will be audited annually by Auditors chosen by the
shareholders themselves, and a copy of the Report communicated to
every shareholder.
A General Meeting of the shareholders may be convened at any
time, by any nine of their number holding collectively twenty-one
shares. Depositors, therefore, can incur no risk uhatever, and
shareholders know that their liability cannot exceed one-fourth of
their paid-up stock, instead of their risk being, as in almost other
Banks, unlimited.
Though the whole of the Capital must by law be subscribed, it is
intended to call up only•one-half of it before commencing business,
TEN Pounds per Share are required to be paid on or before execut-
ing the Deed of Constitution. The remaining forty pounds will be
called for by instalment. These payments will be deposited in the
Bank of England in the names of the Trustees of the British Bank,
and if the Company be not incorporated, the money will be returned
to the subscribers in full.
Applications for shares with satisfactory references, will be re-
ceived by the Secretary at the temporary offices of the Bank, No. 52,
Threadneedle-street, Lendon, where a detailed prospectus and form
of application for shares may be obtained.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
