WE:STNENSTER JOCIET Y For Insurance on 1 ives and Survivorships and granting Annuities, STRAND AND CORNHILL, LONDON. THIS Society, instituted for the conveniency and accommodation of every class and condition of lite, was es tablished in London, in 1792, upon a plan settled after the most mature consideration and approbation of several of the most vent of His Majesty's Counsel. It embraces two objects of concern to the public, viz. Insurance on Lives and Survivorships and granting Annuities. INSURANCE ON LIVES. This object affords the opportunity to provide for the Aged, the Widow and the Fatherless, and to guard against the loss and disappointment of a dependance on the casualty of life. To this end any person, for the annual premium specified in the tables, can secure to his Widow and Children the payment of such a sum of money, as in his judgment will save them from that distress and poverty which his death would otherwise occasion.—ln the case of fines for the renewal of Leases held on Lives, a very be neficial advantage is secured to the parties holding such Leases, by insuring the amount therof on the Life or Lives of the person or persons, at whose death such fines are payable.—The purchase n oney for Life Interests or Annuities may be secured by insuring the Life of the party upon whom the same depends.—Persons holding Church Preferment or any other situation, by which they possess only Income for Life, may secure a reversion of a stipu• lated amount in money to their Widows or Families.—Persoun holding employments in public offices, depending either on the Lives of themselves or of others, may, by the modes adopted in this Office, be secured from loss in case of the death of the party on whose Life the same may be held.—Any person not possessed of an independent property before marriage, may, by insestog his Life, be enabled to make such settlement on his intended wife, as shall be deemed requisite.—Among the various benefits this Office attiards, none, perhaps, may be greater, than the opportu nity it gives for satisfying creditors, where the ability of the debtor to discharge their claims depends on Ow continuance of the life— This may be accomplished by securing, through annual payments en a Life Insurance, a sum to be paid at the death of the debtor; failure In trade may by this be prevented, and arrangements made in conseq ience equally beneficial to debtor and creditor. N. B. Any person having insured his Life at this Office may, by will, dispose of the property to arise therefrom, as his own personal estate.
