“‘ Having succeeded in proving to the gentry, to the clergy of all 
persuasions, and to the merchants of the town of Tanderagee, in which 
I reside, that the Mont de Piété system of pawnbroking would present 
a mitigation of evil, they co-operated with me in the establishment of 
an institution, embracing a charitable pawn-office, a loan-fund, and a 
bank for savings, all under one administration, managed by the same 
board of directors, with whom I have the pleasure of acting as one of 
the honorary secretaries.” The following is an abstract of the result of 
the operations of the Tanderagee Mont de Piété :—
