TO AUTHORS AND THE PATRONS OF 

 BOOKBINDING. 



THE COMMITTEE OF THE 

 BOOKBINDERS' PENSION SOCIETY 



have issued an Address to Authors and others 

 likely to feel an interest in the trade, and sym- 

 pathise with those of its members, who, from 

 infirmity and other afflictions, are rendered 

 incapable of following the avocation from 

 which they have derived the means of sub- 

 sistence. 



In this Address the Committee have drawn 

 attention to the condition of their pecuniary 

 resources, and have shown Iiow painful their 

 position is, in consequence of the funds at their 

 disposal being inadequate to meet the pressing 

 claims upon them ; and they are induced to 

 hope that by pursuing this course they may 

 realise the means of extending relief to a few 

 more eligible candidates for the pension. 



The pension awarded to the male pensioners 

 of the trade is from 6s. to 8s. per week ; to fe- 

 males from 5s. 6d. to 7s- per week. 



At the present time there are sixteen reci- 

 pients of the pension. 



During the last seven years seventy candi- 

 da*es for the pension have presented them- 

 selves ; of these only eight have been elected, 

 though all were eligible for election, and all 

 deserving relief. 



At the last election there were eleven candi- 

 dates, and two only were elected ; several of 

 the unsuccessful candidates being upwards of 

 seventy years of age. 



On these occasions the natural inquiry would 

 be, " What becomes of the unsuccessful can- 

 didates ? " A full answer to this would be a 

 painful category of the ills of life that help- 

 lessness is subject to. And the duty of the 

 Committee is to smooth the path of such as 

 these in the last and most rugged stage of 

 human existence. 



The Committee have made "Notes and 

 Queries" the medium of this communication, 

 being appreliensive that tlieir Address (above 

 referred to) may not reach all those for whom 

 it is intended. 



The income devoted to tlie purposes of the 

 pension is derived (principally) from small 

 weekly subscriptions made in various work- 

 shops in the trade ; and the Committee have 

 shown in their Address that they have resorted 

 to every means within their own power to help 

 themselves, acting upon the golden rule which 

 dictates the propriety of self-reliance ; and 

 they have made their appeal with unfeigned 

 reluctance, but have been induced to do so by 

 the consideration that the ri"ht of the destitute 

 to appeal to the benevolent has been often ac- 

 knowledged by the promptitude and liberality 

 with which such appeals have been responded 

 to. 



Donors of 21. are entitled to one vote at the 

 election j 51. to two votes ; and lOl. and up- 

 wards to three votes. 



Donations and Subscriptions will be thank- 

 fully received by J. SMITH, JUN., ESQ., and 

 likewise by the Secretary, who will gladly 

 reply to any communication requiring farther 

 information respecting the institution.
