_7mo._ Proprietors will have the privilege of recommending persons
for admittance to the philosophical lectures and experiments, and
the persons so recommended will be admitted in all cases where
there shall be room for their accommodation, provided that the
persons so admitted conform to the rules and regulations which will
be established by the managers for the preservation of order and
decorum within the walls of the Institution.
_8vo._ No more than _forty per cent._ of the sum subscribed by
each proprietor will be wanted immediately, and the remainder may
be furnished in three equal payments at the expiration of the
three next succeeding half-years; but it will be in the option of
proprietors to pay the whole sum of fifty guineas at once if they
should prefer doing it.
PRIVILEGES OF THE SUBSCRIBERS FOR LIFE.
Each subscriber of this class will receive _one_ ticket for life,
but not transferable, of free admission into the Institution, and
into every part of it, together with _one_ other ticket for life,
but not transferable, of free admission to all public philosophical
lectures and experiments.
PRIVILEGES OF ANNUAL SUBSCRIBERS.
Each annual subscriber will receive _one_ ticket for one year,
but not transferable, of admission into the Institution, and into
every part of it; as also _one_ ticket for one year, but not
transferable, of admission to all the public philosophical lectures
and experiments. Subscribers of this class will, moreover, have
a right of becoming subscribers for life, on paying at any time
within the year for which they subscribe an additional sum of eight
guineas.
PRIVILEGES THAT ARE COMMON TO SUBSCRIBERS OF ALL DENOMINATIONS.
_1mo._ Subscribers for life and annual subscribers, as well as the
proprietors of the Institution, will be entitled to have copies or
drawings (made at their own expense, however) of any of the models
in the repository, and this even when such copies are designed for
the use of their friends, as well as when they are wanted for their
own private use; and for their better and more speedy accommodation
workshops will be prepared, and workmen provided under the
direction of the managers, for executing such work properly and at
reasonable prices. And, to prevent mistakes, all copies or drawings
that shall be made of the machines, models, and plans lodged in
the repository of the Institution will be examined by persons
appointed for that purpose, and marked with a seal or stamp of the
Institution.
