others, to their
PATENT SELF-ACTING CIRCULAR SAW BENCHES.
These Benches are fitted with a New Apparatus for drawing timber to and
from the Saw, so simple that it can be managed and the speed instantly
regulated. They are also fitted with a draft chain, perfectly free in
the delivery, which can only draw parallel to the saw. They are adapted
to cut any description of wood; rough timber merely requiring to have
each end chipped with an axe, to give it a steady bearing on the table
and carriage. The carriages are fitted with a lever roll, to enable the
man who works the bench to raise the timber on the carriages to carry it
beyond the saw; they are also fitted with an improved gauge, to cut
either parallel or feather edge boards; for deal cutting a spring roll is
sent to press the deals against the gauge, so that a true cut is
obtained, however uneven the surface and with as little waste as the
common pit saw.
Any of these benches may be worked by power from 4-horse upwards, as the
speed for bringing the timber to and from the saw is regulated according
to the power used, they are also fitted with a lever so as to stop or
reverse the motion of the timber instantaneously (a necessary precaution
in case of accident); they are suitable for cutting timber on estates,
for timber merchants, contractors, or builders’ purposes, as timber of
any length and depth, according to the diameter of the saw, may be cut
perfectly true. (_See next Page_.)

SPARKE & CO.’S VERTICAL SAW MILL.
These Mills are very strong, fitted with 6 saws, and are made to cut two
deals at one time; the Saws are worked by a simple motion which
considerably lessens the working parts of the mill, and adds to its
compactness; it can be readily fixed, as the mill is firmly bolted to a
metal base plate. They are made in two sizes, for cutting 18 inches and
12 inches deep. A smaller mill on the above principle, for cutting
felloes and curves.

This Society has been established FIFTY-ONE YEARS, during which period it
has issued 31,500 Policies, and paid to the representatives of 6617
deceased members £5,448,264 sterling.
To meet existing engagements, the Society possesses funds amounting to
upwards of Two MILLION POUNDS STERLING, almost wholly invested on Real
and Government Securities.
The Rates of Premium are lower than those of some offices by nearly 10
per cent., a benefit in itself equivalent to an Annual Bonus.
There is no Proprietary to divide with the Assured the profits of this
Institution, which is one of the very few purely Mutual Insurance
Offices. Persons, therefore, now effecting Insurances will receive the
full benefit of the system, and will be entitled to participate in the
large reserves of the Society, which are applicable for future Bonuses.
One-half of the first five Annual Premiums may remain as a permanent
charge upon the Policies granted for the whole duration of life.
NO CHARGE IS MADE FOR POLICY STAMPS.

“It has often been lamented that ‘popular tracts,’ so called, are not
really popular in their style, and in their manner of dealing with
practical subjects. Our experience teaches us that the complaint is
well founded, and we are happy to have it in our power to point out
to our readers a very useful series of TRACTS FOR THE PEOPLE,
published by Messrs. JARROLD AND SONS, of London and Norwich, which
are more really ‘popular’ in their style, and more likely to interest
and benefit the ‘working classes,’ and the class immediately above
them, than any other tracts which we have met with on the same
subject. There is a strong vein of common sense, and some humour
running through them. The print and paper are very good—their
appearance is attractive—and their price very low.”—_English
Churchman_.
Letters in high commendation of these original and popular Tracts
have been received from LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CAMPBELL; the ARCHBISHOP
OF DUBLIN; CHARLES BUXTON, ESQ., M.P.; CANON HUGH STOWELL,
Manchester; the EARL OF RADNOR; the REV. JOHN ROBINSON, one of the
Secretaries of the London City Mission; the REV. J. C. MILLER, Rector
of St. Martin’s, Birmingham; the REV. SAMUEL MARTIN, Westminster; the
REV. C. H. SPURGEON, London; the REV. A. ROBERTS, Rector of
Woodrising, Norfolk; from SIR CULLING E. EARDLEY, BART.:
Vice-Chancellor SIR W. PAGE WOOD, BART., &c. (_For a Selection see
Prospectuses_.) They have also been favourably noticed in the
“_British Mothers’ Magazine_,” “_Sunday School Teacher’s Magazine_,”
and by the leading Periodical Press.

FOOTNOTES.
{2} Hugh Bigod, the grandson, materially promoted the accession of
Stephen to the throne, but afterwards espousing the cause of Matilda,
gave utterance to the well-known triplet—
“Were I in my castle of Bungay,
Upon the river Waveney,
I would na care for the king of Cockney.”
Two of the family subscribed their names to Magna Charta; another was the
spokesman of the barons combined against Henry the Third; while the last
earl flatly refused to accompany Edward the First in his French campaign,
that king having laid heavy and illegal tollages on the country.
