ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS . rpiIE leading- feature of this Company is , that it investig-ates 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 value , without cost to the inventor , who wi ll 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 promises , containing a spacious manufactory , provided with suitable plant , where models can be made and tried , nnd patented articles manufactured lor sale . Valuable patents , already arranged for , are now being so manufactured , at a nctt profit of 300 per cent . ; while several very promising inventions arc under consideration . The advantages thus enumerated justify the Directors in recommending the undertaking' to the notice of small capitalists , as an investment well worthy thoir special consideration . " " Q > That the large mass of inventors arc unable to carry out their designs , Is a fact patent to most practical observers . It is equally true that a great number of oases only require tho judgment and kindly assistance oi scientific and praottA cal men to render them productive of immense puquor benefit . It Is Incontrovertible that bur national importance and wealth have been more promoted by inventors than by any ' other class of men , Arkwright , watt , Cort , Stephenson , . and others scarcely loss eminont , have produced an amount of wealth almost boyond calculation , though their inventions were received at first witli coolness ana Incredulity . In short , all tho improvements for our convenience and comfort , dating from a state of barbarity to ono of high civilisation , are but the cumulative results of Inventive ingenuity . It must not bo overlooked by ' the Shareholder that a patent glvos an exclusive trado with * the customers of tho world , and that this Company will possess in no common dogrvo such advantages as will , ou tho nvorngo , bo Immunisoly productive , and ensure a dividend that mny surprise , ana must satisfy till investors . Applications for Shares , and full Proaneotusos giving the , AuloBt Information , to bo made peraoually , or by letter , to the SoorC ' tnry , at tho Offleos , as above .
