PROSPECTUS.
The large number of emigrants who have left Great Britain for
the Uhitcd States and the Canadas in the past year has suggested
the idea of an Association for the purpose of affording increased
facilities to those intending to emigrate towards gaining- for them
a location there with the aid of the smallest expenditure in acquir-
ing it.
.
This Asso.iation, having already formed a very extended con-
nexion in the United States and the Canadas, proposes' to confine
Its operations exclusivol3 to these countries, and chiefly to the
former.
It is found that nine-tenths of those who emigrate to the United
States are composed of small capitalists, who, for the most part,
have barely sufficient mons), to-meet the expenses of the voyage
and the purchase of a location. To such parties loss of time
is great disadvantage, and the expenses incurred in
search of .a location too frequently absorb their small
means. They are in general unacquainted' With • the
. geography of that vast country and its varied resources. Titles
to land, when they do not come direct from the Government, are
often defective, and the unaided emigrant runs a great risk of not
,being able to fix himself in' that portion_of the United States where
nis previous knowledge could be turned to the best account. These
and many other considerations equally important will naturally in-
duce emigrants to avail themselves of the agency and place themselvbs
' Under the auspices of an Associaticn having the disposal of lanfls
' more or less extensive in every State of the Union, and respecting
which every authentic information has been obtained and can be fur-
nished the emigrant beforehand. , . '
The choice of a state is often 'of much' importance. The quality of
the land, its title guaranteed, its' coritigiiity to markets, the 'cost of
labour and value of produce, facilities..of transport, as well as the
climate and the healthiness of the district—all these are of great con-
sequence. In fact, a prudent emigrant should endeavour to possess
himself with as much information before leaving home, as, if acting
on his own experience, he could barely hope to acquire. after a
lengthened residence in the country.
In addition to this, the Association, by its arrangements for the
Voyage out, and transport of the emigrant from the port of debark-
ation to the interior, will enable the emigrant to economize his
n eans so that neither his time nor his substance would be wasted
before his industry began.
. The plan the Association proposes is chiefly to dispose of lands on
• commission; not to speculate in lands, by purchase and re-sale on
its own account, but to afford the emigrant The benefit of its dealing
for the land, either with Government or proprietors. Its,extended
connexion, information, and establishment will 'be placed at the
• Service of the emigrant who seeks a new home under its directions.
The Association agrees beforehand to sell at cost price, adding merely
Ea-commission, graduated proportionally to the number of
-Ititeadltettn-nr-doeation, flounded on the cost and expenses
• attending tie transport to the spot. -
The lands Which will pass through' the hands of the Association
from the original owner to the ultimate occupier will be for the most
part in block ; their cost price per acre to the Association will be
much below that for which an individual could procure a single loca-
tion in any of the States where Government land is not to be had ;
the emigrant will in this respect alone have a direct advantage.
When ha adds to this his saving on his outward expenses and journey
to the spot, his loss of time, the disappointments often incurred on
• the other side, he will find the actual outlay per acre of his acquisi-
tion much less by a direct purchase through the Association, whose
arrangements will enable it to render hint a service he would fail in
attempting for himself.
It is a case of the commonest occurrence with those who go out to
the United States to waste all their means and small resources with-
out ever arriving at the object of their wishes. Too many are thus
left for the time destitute, and forced to become labourers, instead of
Proprietors of land.
It is for the purpose of enabling the uninformed emigrant of small
Means to avoid this almost inevitable consequence that this Asso-
ciation is formed ; to advise him before departure of the advantages
and disadvantages of settlement in each state, to assist him in the
choice of a location, and to inform him on what point to direct his
means and efforts. By this means he can ascertain to a trifle the
'oat of his own and his family's removal. He will be told how he
should stock his land, what implements to purchase ; and in fact
mar acquire a year's experience in advance as to the best mode of
turning himself to account by the instructions to be given him
through the officers of the Association on the other side.
- In some of the newer States, where labour is not abundant, the
Association will undertake to supply the emigrant with labour, by
offering such inducements as will secure it. These will form the
subject of special schein s of settlement, which the Association will
notify from time to time, and the price of land per acre will range
accordingly.
The owners of tracts of laud in the United States will find it ad-
vantageous to avail themselves of the Association, it being the in-
tention of the Association to select the most suitable occipiers and
cultivators.
As a gsarantee of the good faith of the Association, it proposes to
look to its chief profit, after payment of expenses in the manner
stated, to reserved lots, which ere not to exceed one-fourth of the en-
tire quantity in any one block. Those reserved lots will be disposed
Of afterwards at their real market value, and without reference (as
hi the case of the first emigrants) to prime cost.
The settlement of considerable tracts of land, and the voyage
• thereto and location thereon of a number of families, will give rise
L many considerations winch cannot be easily enumerated, but, to
insure success, cannot be overlooked by the Association. The phy-
K cal wants of the emigrant will require medical attendance on him
to the spot. Prevision will be made likewise for his spiritual com-
fort, by providing a clergyman, in conformity with the religious per-
suasion of each hundred families; and, as it not unfrequently hap-
Pens that many families el,part from the same neghbourhood, in all
cases where practicable, the choice of the pastor will rest with the
'Migrants themselves.
The plan of the Association, therefore, embraces the following
:-
1. The acquisition of tracts or portions of lands in the several
Mates of he Union and in Canada, for sale on commission.
2. The disposal of these lands to emigrants in such quantities as
will suit their individual means on the basis of the cost price of the
land, adding so much per acre as will cover the charges attendant
on the examination of the lands and their titled, and a staff of in-
telligent officers to take charge of the emigrants and their interes-,
up to placing them upon the land, utter the most favourable cir-
clunstances.
3. Contracting to place the emigrant and his family on the laud
for a fixed sum, including all expenses of voyage out, and in the
interior, so ,ha he shay know beforehand kow far his money will
go in secur:ng the object of his wishes.
4. The supply of labourers on such locations as may require it, at
a° Much per acre, to be added to prime cost of the land, if not
otherwise paid for by special agreement with emigrants.
4- Bolding an interest in reserves not to exceed one-fourth tie
original acquisition ; these reserves not to be disposed of by the
Association for less than double the original average prime cost per
acre,

6. Provision for the moral and physical wants of the emigrant, so
that his safety and comfort will lie secured from the ordinary acci-
dents attendant on the unaided efforts of a single individual.
The Directors are engaged in the settlemext of a tract of land in
tastern Texas, containing 153,400 acres, and are preparing a scale
of prices for the location of emigrants thereon.
