PROSPECTUS.
The large number of emigrants who have left Great Britain for
the United 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
it location there with the aid of the smallest expenditure in acquir-
ing it. seissis
This Association, having already formed a very extended con-
iexien in the United States and the Canadas, proposes to confine
its oPeratiens exclusively 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 meat part,
have barely sufficient money to meet the expenses of the voyage
S
d the purchase of a location. To suck parties loss of time
Ifl
a great disadvantage, and the expenses incurred in
searchs, of a location too frequently absorb their small
.7eanl. They are in general unacquainted with the
aeography of that vast country and its varied resources. Titles
sa laud, 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
ss
'l3 previous knowledge could be turned to the best account. These
and many other considerations equally important will naturally in-
once emigrants to avail themselves of the agency and place themselves
•nnder the auspices of an Association having the disposal of lands
More or less extensive in every State of the Union, and respecting
sW,hich every authentic information has been obtained and can be fur-
atahed the emigrant beforehand.
The choice of a state is often of much importance. The quality of
the land, its title guaranteed, its contiguity 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-
teqUence. In fact, a prudent emigrant should endeavour to possess
himself with as much information before leaving home, as, if acting
II 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
ans 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
eennexion, information, and establishment will be placed at the
• ,siervice of the emigrant who seeks a new home under its directions.
The Association agrees beforehand to sell at cost price, adding merely
thereto a commission, graduated proportionally to the number of
acres in each farm or location, founded on the cost and expenses
attending his 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 mist
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 he 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 him 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
tans 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
eclat of kis own and his family's removal. He will be told how he
should stock his land, what implements to purchase ; and in fact hs
,7 acquire a year's experience in advance as to the best mode of
's"uss ng himself to account by the instructions to be given him
—tough 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 schemss 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 land in the United States will find it ad-
Zantageous to avail themselves of the Association, it being the in-
ention of the Association to select the most suitable occupiers and
cultivators.
s„S'tts a gaarantee of the good faith of the Association,
in it proposes to
to its chief profit, after payment of expenses the manner
stated, to reserved lots, which are not to exceed one-fourth of the en-
tire quantity in any one black. These reserved lots will be disposed
of afterwards at their real market value, and without reference (as
In the ease of the first emigrants) to prime cost.
The settlement of considerable tracts of land, and the voyage
Ihereto and location thereon of a number of families, will give rise
Tore
many considerations which cannot be easily enumerated, but, to
Tore success, cannot be overlooked by the Association. The pity-
-1 wants of the emigrant will require medical attendance on him

iest, by providing a clergyman, ins conformity with the religious per-
'Maslen of each hundred families ; and, as it not untrequently hap-
Pens that many families depart from the same neighbourhood, in all
cases where practicable, the choice of the pastor will rest with the
entlgrants themselves.
The plan of the Association, therefore, embraces the following
Points, viz. :-
1. The acquisition of tracts or portions of lands in the several
States of the Union and in Canada, for sale on commission.
2. The disposal of these lands to emigrants in ouch quantities as
Will suit their individual means on the basis of the cost price of the

on the examination of the lands and their titled, and a staff of in-
telligent officers to take charge of the emigrants and their interest,

cumstances.
3. Contracting to place the emigrant aid his family on the land
flit a fixed sum, including all expenses of voyage out. and in the
Interior, so that he may know beforehand how far his money will
go in securing the object of his wishes.
4. The supply of labourers on such locations as may require it, at
so Much per acre, to be added to prime cost of the land, if not
otherwise paid for by special agreement with emigrants.
• Holding an interest in reserves not to exceed one-fourth the
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 be secured from the ordinary acci-
dents attendant on the unaided efforts of a single individual.
