Its qualities and capabilities are so vast that it were
impossible and, even if possible, unsafe to develop them
further, but some idea may be formed from the fact that as a
preliminary measure patents in Great Britain Ireland, Scotland,
the Colonies, France, Belgium, and the United States, and every
other country where protection to the first discoveries of an
Invention is granted, will of necessity be immediately obtained,
and by the time these are perfected, which it is estimated will
be in the month of February, the Invention will be fit for
Public Trial, but until the Patents are sealed any further
disclosure would be most dangerous to the principle on which it
is based.

Under these circumstances, it is proposed to raise an
immediate sum of L2,000 in furtherance of the Projector's views,
and as some protection to the parties who may embark in the
matter, that this is not a visionary plan for objects
imperfectly considered, Mr Colombine, to whom the secret has
been confided, has allowed his name to be used on the occasion,
and who will if referred to corroborate this statement, and
convince any inquirer of the reasonable prospects of large
pecuniary results following the development of the Invention.

It is, therefore, intended to raise the sum of L2,000 in twenty
sums of L100 each (of which any subscriber may take one or more
not exceeding five in number to be held by any individual) the
amount of which is to be paid into the hands of Mr Colombine as
General Manager of the concern to be by him appropriated in
procuring the several Patents and providing the expenses
