This Association has been formed principally with the view of af-
fording to gentlemen engaged in 410VERNMENT and PUBLIC
orricls, BANKING HOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA-
EL/SHMIINTS, a safe and advantageous mode of investing a portion
of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. composted
interest, or in the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences.
The operations of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared
expressly ier that purpose by two eminent actuaries.
The leading principles of this Society are—
I. Perfect equality if benefit between all the Members, whether
borrowers or not.
2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member
Wilkie, to anticipate his Shares will be entitled at any given period
of the Society's existence, with the means of ascertaining precisely
at any date the amouat payable to retiring Members, and the valae
of the Sharet of continuing Members.
Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip-
tions for the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 41.
per Cent. per annum, will be allowed for the sums so paid.
Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do se after
the first year, without tine ; and subsequently to that period com-
pound interest at the rate Of G. per Cent. per annum will be allowed
upon the Nuns withdrawn,
Shares may be transferred free of stamp duties.
ley the plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at
any period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have
loans advanced to them without paying up arrears of Subscriptions ;
and the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new
Members, are set forth in the Tables, a copy of which will be sup-
plied to every Member. This is manifestly far preferable to the un-
equal and objectioaable system usually adopted of putting the shares
up to auction, and advancing the money to those who submit to the
largest discount ; by which means the object of the Legislature,
which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the
Same advantage, Is entirely frustrated.
The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow-
ing Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the
end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the
heavy monthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car-
ried into full operation.
No Member has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own
Subscriptions.
A Public Meeting for affording further explanations of the objects
of the Society and its system of operations, will be held at the Lon-
de) Tavern, Biehopsgate-street, en WIDNiaDA.Y EVENING, 26th
January instant, at Half-past Six for Seven o'clock precisely.
Prospectuses and copies of Rules may be obtained at the office of
Vie Society, 15, Old Broad-street.
