Lloyd's Registry of Shipping, CASTLE-COURT, BIRCHIN-LANE. JANUARY, 1829. THE COMMITTEE beg leave to remind the SUBSCRIBERS, that when this Society was established, in the year 1760, the Annual Subscription was Twelve Guineas. At the end of Half a Century their funded Property having increased to £12,000 Stock, the Price of the Book was reduced one-third, viz. from Twelve to Eight Guineas; but the Expenses for the last Twenty Years having exceeded the Income by nearly £500 per Annum, and the Stock now remaining amounting to only £2000, the COMMITTEE are under the necessity of raising the Price of the Book this Year to Ten Guineas. Nearly Ten Thousand Vessels are surveyed every Year; the Expense of Survey, by competent Judges, cannot be reduced under the present Calaries, which exceed £1000 per Annum, rather under 2. 13d. each Vessel.
