The barony and est ,te of Islay, mtnprising the island of Islay
arid small adjacent islands is in the game latitude as Edinburgh and
9 ut,ogrelAsgow, and is ogre of the richest and most productive properties in
e west of Scotland. It co-tains about 140,000 acre.:, of which
34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture.
The present rental of this maguificeast property amounts at present
to 20,001/.; but a Government grant of 30,000/. is now being ex-
pended in drainage ant improvements.. The rents are periodically
and legitimately increased as the leaser fall in, and it is evident that
reh a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much
larger return. the purchase, it is 'expected, will be effected for
About 500.0001., and it Is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose,
and contingent expenses, of 600,0031., in 12,000 501. shares, each
shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to
be insured oat of the rental, so as to secure the. repayment of his
SUbscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The
remainder of the accumulated rental ist to be divided every ten years
amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the
estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000
nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business
Of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dl-idend of
Profits.
Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton-
!the, will, under any circumstances, rec eive back the amount of his
investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in-
terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of
the general life assistance department (and the basis and guarantee
indicated cannot fail to matte this branch most extensive and 'ucra-
tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, ,every ten years h's nominee
survives, in the accumulated and constintly improving rental ; and,
In the ev. nt of his nominee beim; the last survivor, will become
the abso'ute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also
to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the
marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en-
hanced.

The principles of the proposed Tontines have been maturely con.
sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq., the eminent actuary of the Is
dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap•
probation.

The estfte is to be vested in three trustee!, resident in Scotland.
The affairs of she Society shall be conducted by a board of seven
directors in Scotland, commm,icating with a board of correspondence
in London. Two general meetings shall be herd in Scotland in the
Months of June and December.
Tice preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum
allowed under the Registration Act), And a call of 1/. per share shall
be made on cmnplete registration. The remainder to be called up
by such Instalments as may be found necessary to meet the payment
of the purchase money.
