THE NATIONAL BOOK TRADE PROVIDENT SOCIETY.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
Sia,—The Council of the National Book Trade Provident Society is making an appeal for funds to authors and all those in any way associated with the production or sale of books. The Society is desirous of raising its invested funds to £20,000 and of thus being assured against any ordinary risk. As chairman of the sub-committee, may I urge the claims of this useful Society in your columns ?
The General Section for which this appeal is made depends entirely on the donations of friends and the subscriptions of members. We believe that the Society has a claim on book- men, many of whom have already responded most generously. Distress of any kind gives a member the right of appeal for assistance and the Society grants help to widows and orphans.
