 This circular is addressed to you on the supposition that you are qualified ! and dilnr^sob to. 
 become a member of the Society. 
 
 The quahfication for membership will be ascertained by reference to the Constitution, which is 
 printed on the other side. 
 
 The cost of membership has been made merely nominal, as it is (Ictined adyisable tliat no 
 barrier should exist to the admission into the Society of any person of Loyalist extraction. ' 
 
 I should be _i>lad if you would exhibit or state the .ntents of this circular to all those of 
 Loyalist descent in your neighbourhood, or elsewhere, for whom as well as yourself ibis-instended. 
 
 Although th.c Society has been organized in this Province, it is nolcin anyr 6ther seuse Ifcjod^. 
 and the membershi[> of all jjcrsons qualified, irrespective of their place of residence, is garnestly~. desire^ 
 
 No form is i)rescribed for tiie written statement to be filed by persons applying^ for ' mk^iligr: 
 ship under tiie 3rd article of the Constitution, and any statement of the necessary facts will be- deemed 7 
 sufificient. ' ' 
 
 In addition to enlarging the membership, it is the purpose of the Society to collect frt«ti,*t^4 
 members, and otherwise, all statements of facts which wi)' aid in making generally known the sa'o^ees i 
 made and the pjinciiJles maintained and enunciated by .. . Loyalists, individually and colkctiyely. 
 
 It is ciaimeil that by the adoption of this method, and the eventual publication ol the' ilferiii^- ' 
 ^a>i secured, in a condensed and attractive form, the result will be of great value. 
 
 It is believed that it will thereby be fully proved that the Loyalists were not merely devoted 
 to the King, and the traditions of their mother land, but that they exhibited notable wisdom and '^t§- 
 sight in their estimate of the. importance of maintaining in this country the older constitt'^tion anS the 
 principles involved t 
 
 The co-o]r;ration of ail disposed 10 aid in the work of the Society, as indicated above, o: 
 hereafter developed, is most earnestly invited. ';-
