ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS . milE leading feature of this Company ia , that it investigates JL the 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 by the Company , for sale , on a scale sufficient to establish their vame , 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 for sale . ¦ ' ' ¦• ¦ Valuable patents , already arranged for , are now beingso 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 largre 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 and 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 , Stephensou , and others scarcely less eminent , have produced nn 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 Btato of barbarity to one of hl fj ii civilisation , are but the cumulative results of inventive in-° It must not bo overlooked by the Shareholder that a patent gives an exclusive trade with the customers of tlic world , and that this Company will possess in no common < legrce such advantages as will , on ( he avornyo , bo immensely productive , and ensure a dividend thai nnty surprise , and m ust satisfy all investors .
