INVESTMENT OF CAPITAL.—.-A useful little book by
Mr. G. M. Bell, entitled a Gusde to the Investment of
Capital, has just been published. Under the various
heads of houses,
lands, annuities, joint-stock banks, rail-
ways, shipping, insurance companies, mines, bills of ex-
change, bonds, and mortgages, and foreign funds, is com-
prised a short description of all ,the means of investment
which are offered to capitalists. Much clear and useful
advice is given as to the choice of various modes t,
of invest.
ment, to suit the particular views of the capitalist. on the
particular circumstances of any 'given period. Mr. Bell
is well kuown as a gentleman possessing much practical
information on the subjects which be here passes under
review. The hints which form part of the "general sum-
mary " that concludes the work, we extract, says the
Editor of the Times, in a recent nioney article, as they
give a good classification of the various kinds of invest-
ment, made to suit the various kinds of parties invest-
ing.

(PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.)
PROSPECTUS

OF TIIE
LIVERPOOL BUILDING LAND SOCIETY.
Capital, ''15,000, in 300 Shares of £5O each. Entrance
or Subscription Money, ss. per Share.
THE objects of this Society are .two-fold, namely,
the purchase of a quantity ockinil eligible for Building
purposes, and the re-sale of the.same in Lots, to builders or
others; the Societe making thepurchasers advances of cash as
their buildings proceed, such advances, and interest thereon,
to -be repaid to the Society with the Purchase-money of the
Land.
The Shares will be payable by Monthly Instalments of -el,
until is realised upon each. The duration of the Society
will only be limited by the will of the majority of the Share-
holders, but the Shares will be transferable at tile option of the
holder.
The operations of the Society will be conducted by a Ma-
naging Committee of gentlemen practically acquainted with
this department of business, and with the value of Land, and
will commence, in all probability, in the suburbs of Liverpool,
where at present there is a large and increasing demand for
Villas. _ . _ _

Interest will be paid upon the deposits, and the profits will
be periodically divided amongst the Shareholders.
The promoters confidently submit that the objects of this
Society are sound and tangible, and its mode of operation
simple and clear, and that, consequently, it will form a most
advantageous medium for investment; for while the guarantee
of a large and available capital will enable it to purchase on the
most reasonable terms, the facility and promptitude with
which it can advance to Builders will enable it to dispose of its
Land in the shortest possible time. This opinion is further
confirmed by the well-known fact that many private individuals
have realised large fortunes in this way; and in any case where
they have failed, the failure may be traced to the absence, in
such individual, of that which this Society is formed to create,
namely, a capital adequate to the extent of its operations.
Applications for Shares or for information to be made to Mr.
WILLIAM OWEN, Solicitor, Clayton-square; Or tO RADCLIFFE
and PICKEN, Estate Agents, 26, North John-street, corner of
Harrington-street.
