Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Industrial Investment and Emigration: Being a Treatise on Benefit Building Societies, and on the General Principles of Associations for Land Investment and Colonization, With an Appendix on Compound Interest, Tontines, and Life Assurance I. In the First Edition of this work, which was published in the year 1847, we undertook, mainly, to examine the characteristics of Benefit Building Societies, which were, then, all established on the Terminating System, and endeavoured, while pointing out and classifying errors of practice and theory into which the majority had fallen, to lay down principles which might serve as a guide to the correct formation of future societies, and as the basis of some consistency in their subsequent operations. We desired also to urge, upon the Managers and Directors of many that were already in existence, the necessity of turning their attention to the errors described, and of taking such measures as might be calculated to remedy the evil, by introducing judicious alterations into their rules and rates of subscription, or by making such other improvements as would be likely to avert from the societies confided to their care the disastrous termination, which they could not otherwise avoid. We recommended, also, the new system, we had devised, of associations on the principle of Permanent existence. It is gratifying to observe, that this effort to raise the standing of a class of institutions so eminently philanthropic has not been wholly unsuccessful.
