This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out in Great Britain , Ireland , and the Colonies , Beniowski ' s numerous and important patented inventions , connected with Letterpress Printing , &c , the patents having been secured upon highlyadvantageous terms . . , ., .,,. ., ,. ., „ It is oDviously impossible to describe , within the limits or an ordinary advertisement , the various improvements which these patents—the result of many years' intense mental labrur as well as a large expenditure ol money —are calculated to effect ; detailed explanations of them , however , may be obtained on application to the Secretary or Brokers of the Company—suffice it to say they extend to every department of the various branches of the trades with which they are connected , including types , type casting , composing , printing , printing-machines , inking rollers , printing for the blind , &c , accomplishing , in letter-press printing alone , a saving to an extent almost incredible—a revolution will thus be established in printing analogous to that effected in weaving by the application of the power-loom , enablingmen , women , and children , with but littleprevious instruction , to become skilful compositors . By the new mode of forming the types ( to speak only of one of the striking features of these inventions ) , any man , woman , or child , who is acquainted with the common alphabet , will be enabled to become a useful and correct compositor , with only a few days' previous instruction ; and by other inventions contained in these patents , the mechanical toil and irksomeness of composing are greatly diminished , whilst the production is increased fivefold—so that this most important branch of the printer ' s art will be made easy with regard to bodily toil , as well as simple with regard to mental preparation . A new field for employment will thus be opened to thousands of that sex and those classes to which society offers at present so few remunerative channels for the exertion of honest industry . By carrying into effect these inventions , the price of books , of newspapers , and of every product of the press , must bo greatly diminished , and an impetus will thus be given to the advancement of knowledge and the diffusion of education greater than any that has been seen in England since Caxton ' s first introduction of moveable types into this country , nearly four centuries The Directors have agreed with the Proprietors for the absolute assignment of the English , Scotch , Irish , and Colonial patents , together with all the machinery , models , and plant of every description as at present in their possession , in consideration of 15 , 000 shares in the undertaking , with an equal division of the profits after the shareholders shall have realized a dividend of eight per cent , per annum . 1 , 000 free shares will bo appropriated to the promoters , as remuneration for the trouble and expenses they have incurred in bringing this important undertaking before the public . By this arrangement the proprietors manifest their great confidence in the soundness of the undertaking , and the Company have secured their zealous co-operation , as well as that of tho patentee , in tho working of the inventions for tho mutual benefit of themselves and the shareholders . Tho annual profits of tho Company , it will bo demonstrated , will , after allowing a very groat reduction in tho present prico of printing , permit of an unusually largo dividend , tho patents securing a monopoly of typos , inking rollers , printing machines , &c . whilst tho operations of tho Company , unliko most other speculations , will bo carried on under the immediate eyes of tho shareholders—thoroby constituting " Tho Patent Printing Machinery and Printing Company , " in its fluanoiul equally as in its Hooiiil character , one of tho most important and valuable that lias over appeared before tho public . Application lor shares to bo made to tho brokers , tho solicitor , or at tho ollicos of tho Company , whoro all tho details will bo explained . Form ov Arrr-ioATioN .
