Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Benefit Building Societies: Containing Remarks Upon the Erroneous Tendency of Many of the Societies at Present in Existence; And an Inquiry Into the True Causes of Their Defective Operation, With a View to Their Amendment; Or, the Formation of New Societies Upon Correct Principles
The following pages treat of a question of much impor tance at the present time, when great anxiety relative to the welfare of the industrious classes is so generally expressed. While Benefit Building Societies, whose in?uence is caleu lated materially to modify the condition of those classes, are multiplying in all directions, and the valuable results, which might be obtained through their agency, are daily becoming more manifest, it is of urgent necessity that definite prin ciples should be laid down to serve as a guide for their correct formation, and as the basis of some consistency in their subsequent operations.
