ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The success of the Foreign and Colonial Government
Trust, which was formed in May, 1868, has called for an
extension of this mode of investment.

During the last two years the Investors in the Trust
have received at the rate of 7 per cent. upon their capital,
free of income tax, and 235 Certificates have been drawn
and paid off at par. The successful holders having thus
received a bonus of £l5 per cent. in addition.
The market value of the securities held by the Trust is
greatly in excess of the original pat:chase price, and its
estimation by the public is shown by the present quota-
tion of the Certificates, the issue price having been £B5.
In compliance, therefore, with a general desire, it has
been determined to open a subscription for a second issue
not exceeding £600,000, in Certificates of £lOO, to bear 5
per cent. interest, to be issued at £BO.
The object, which is now well understood, is to give to
the Investor of moderato means the same advantages as
the large capitalist, in diminishing the risk of investing in
Foreign and Colonial Government Stocks, by spreading
the investment over a number of different Stocks, and
reserving a portion of the extra interest and the amounts
received in redemption as a Sinking Fund to pay off the
original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub-
tr3riber a pro rata participation in the ultimate reversion in
these different Stocks, which will remain when the return
of the original capital has by these means been accom-
plished.
The annual receipts by the Trustees will be first applied,
after deducting the limited amount of expenses, in paying
the interest upon the Certificates. The excess will be ap-
plied as a Sinking Fund in repaying the Certificates at par
by annual drawings, to be made in the presence of a Notary
Public in the month of May in each year.
The securities representing the Second Issue will form
a distinct and separate Trust, though identical in principle
with that of the first, and under the control of the samo
Trustees and managed by the same staff.
The Trust of the Second Issue will last for twenty-five
years, at the expiration of which time it is estimated that
a large proportion of the Certificates will, in all probabi-
lity, have been paid off, and that a large proportion of the
Stocks will still remain for distribution as a reversion ;
accordingly the Trust will he wound up as soon as all the
Certificates have been drawn, or at the end of twenty-five
years, whichever shall first happen, the remaining Stocks
being then sold, and any Certificates not previously drawn
being first paid off, after which the balance will form the
reversion to be distributed pro rata.
All sums received will be placed to the credit of the
Trustees, at the Banking House of Messrs. Glyn, Mills,
Currie. and Co.
For each £BO of the total amount subscribed will be
issued a Certificate of £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing
5 per cent. interest, payable at the Banking-house of
3lessrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co. half yearly, on the
15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Coupon for
the proportion of the half year falling due on the 15th
July next.
In addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon, repre-
senting the share accruing to the Certificate-holder in the
above reversion, will be attached to each Certificate. This
Coupon of Reversion will be retained by the holder when
the Certificate is drawn, and entitle him to a pro rata divi-
sion of the ultimate reversion.

The advantages of the investment may be summed up
as follows :

1. Interest at .£6s. be. per cent, on the amount sub-
scribed.
2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi-
tal at par.
3. A reversion, eventually divisible among the holders
of the Coupons of Reversion.
Application to be made in the annexed Form, accom
p inied by a deposit of £lO per cent.
