This Association has been formed principally with the view of af-
fording to gentlemen engaged in GOVERNMENT and PUBLIC
OFFICES, BANKING HOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA-
BLISHDIFINTS, a safe and advantageous mode of investing a portion
of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound
interest, or in the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences.
The operations of this Society will be regelated by Tables prepared
expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries.
The leading principles of this Society are-
1. Perfect equality of benefit between all the Members, whether
borrowers or not.
2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member
Wishiug to anticipate his Shares will be entitled at any given period
of the Society's existexce, with the means of ascertaining precisely
at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value
of the Sharet of continuing Members.
Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip-
tions for the tea 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 so after
the first year, without fine ; and subsequently to that period coin-
Pound interest at the rate of 61. per Cent. per annum will be allowed
upon the sums withdrawn.
Shares may be transferred free of stamp duties.
By the plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at
any period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have
loaus advanced to them without paying up arrears of Subscriptions ;
and the precise amounts that will he 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-objectionable system usual), adopted of putting the shares
up to auction, and advanchig 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," mad 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-
don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on WEDNESDAY 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
the Society, IS, Old Broad-street.
