A village mayor here, a municipal councillor there, in all about a score of the inhabitants, have formed what they call 'La Compagnie de Batellerie St. Jean, which ensures the traveller a fixed tariff, good boats, and, above all, experienced boatmen, for what is during the last stage of the way a somewhat hazardous journey. The prospectus runs thus: 'NOTICE TO TOURISTS. 'The Hotel St. Jean at St.
Of the five hundred and fifty-four pages of prose in it I find ten lines, on page 319, to be Mrs. Eddy's; also about a page of the preface or "Prospectus"; also about fifteen pages scattered along through the book. If she wrote any of the rest of the prose, it was rewritten after her by another hand. Here I will insert two-thirds of her page of the prospectus.
"It's one thing to pay your butcher's bill in the long run, and be above stealing goods off the counter, but a man can cheat his fellow-men in a stock trade and think pretty well of himself, and other folks think well of him." "That's so," said Sigsbee Ray. "I haven't any doubt that he will arrange that," said Lee. "And, for that matter, the United Fuel may look up yet. I had a prospectus "

It is proposed to give it size enough to admit the amplest discussions that we or our opponents may desire, and to give them a full share of its room in fine, to make it, in form and merit, what the importance of the subject calls for. I send you a copy of the Prospectus for the new series.
I was no party, I beg to say, to this mention of my name in the prospectus; but my friends and business connections who may have taken shares on the faith of my name, will naturally hold me responsible accordingly.
The two sorts of marks have the same purpose; the second is only a statement or paraphrase of the first, a condensation of the merchant's prospectus; why, once more, if the origin signifies something, should not the mark define this significance?
"Steady! our first man," whispered Carrados hurriedly. "Here, look at this with me." He opened a paper a prospectus which he pulled from his pocket, and they affected to study its contents together. "You were about right, my friend," muttered Mr. Carlyle, pointing to a paragraph of assumed interest. "Hat, stick and spectacles. He is a clean-shaven, pink-faced old boy.
"By order of the Provisional Committee, "ROBT. M'CORKINDALE, Secretary." "There!" said Bob, slapping down the prospectus on the table, with as much triumph as if it had been the original of Magna Charta "What do you think of that? If it doesn't do the business effectually, I shall submit to be called a Dutchman.
