Incorporated under Joint Stock Companies' Acts , 1856-57-58 . Under the direction of a Council and Managing Committee appointed by tho Shareholders . 5 s . per share to bo paid on application and »? - per share at one month after allotment . With two calls , if required , of 5 s . each share , at intervals of not less than three months , and with sixty days' notice in each case . DIRECTORS . ^ .

OFFICES AND MANUFACTORY . Nos . 1 , 2 , and \ GOUGH STREET NORTH , Gray ' s Inn Road , VV . ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS . THE leading- feature of this Company is * that it investigates tne merit of any invention submitted to it , by the aid of scientific and practical men , selected with special regard to their qualifications , as impartial judges . Such inventions as are approved are patented or registered , and manufactured bv the Company , for sale , on a scale sufficient to establish their value , without cost to the inventor , who will share , under agreement , in all profits arising- therefrom . As an earnest of these intentions , the Managing Committee have secured a long lease , on most advantageous terms , of extensive premises , containing a spacious manufactory , provided with suitable plant , where models can be made and tried , and patented articles manufactured tor sale . Valuable patents , already arranged for , are now being so manufactured , at a nett profit of 300 per cent . ; while several very promising inventions are under consideration . The advantages thus enumerated justify the Directors in recommending the undertaking- to the notice of small capitalists , as an investment well worthy their special consideration . That the large mass of inventors are unable to carry out their designs , is a fact patent to most practical observers . It is equally true that a great number ot cases only require the judgment a . nd kindly assistance of scientific and practical men to » render them productive of immense' public benefit . It is incontrovertible that our national importance and wealth have been more promoted by inventors than by any other class of men . Arkwright , Watt , Cort , Stephenson , and others scarcely less eminent , have produced an amount of wealth almost beyond calculation , though their inventions were received at first with coolness and incredulity . ' In short , all the improvements for our convenience and comfort , dating from a state of barbarity to one of high civilisation , are but the cumulative results of inventive ingenuity . It must not be overlooked by the Shareholder that a patent gives an exclusive trade with the customers of the world , and that this Company will possess in no common degree such advantages as will , on the average , be immensely productive , and ensure a dividend that may surprise , ana must satisfy all investors . Applications for Shares , and full Prospectuses giving the fullest information , to be made personally , or by letter , to the Secretary , at the Offices , as above .
