ROBERT SKELTON, Sec. WESTMINSTER SOCIETY For In.suranse on Lives and Surviverships and granting Annuities, STRAND AND CORNHILL, LONDON. T HIS Society; instituted for the conv en i enc y an d accommodation of every class and condition of life, was es tablished in London, in 1192, upon a plan settled after the most mature consideration and approbation of several of the most MU nent of His Majesty's Counsel. It embi-aces 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 Aied, 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 aim of money, as in his jhdgment 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 neticial 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 suck fines are payable. The purchase money for Life Interests or Annuities may be secured by insuring the Life of the party upon whom the same depends.—Pcrsons holding Church Preferment or any other sitoation, by which they posses only Inconie for Life, may secure a reversion of a stip' rated amount in money to their Widows or Familles.— Persons holding employments in public offices, depending either on the Lives of themselves or of others, may, by the modes adopted fa this Office, be secured from loss in ease 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 inswing his Life, be enabled to make such settlement on his intended wife, as shall be deemed requisite.—Among the various benefits this Office affords, none, perhaps, maybe greater, than the opportu• pity it gives for satisfying creditors, where the ability of the debto r to discharge their claims depends on the 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 &btu ; failure in trade may by this be prevented, and arrannanikekshode iu consequenCe equally beneficial to debtor and eredltor., • N. B. Any person having insured his Life arab he, Sys by will, dispose of the property to vise 'therefreai, ai bit olio penetal estate. • GRANTING ANNUITIES • Affords a resource against Old Age, Sickness, s. and other casualties of Life. By this Office, every pecuniary provision may be ieelidedr To a party personally, or for his Widow, Ciandrets, orailladdede as{ Marriage Settlements procured. . - 'Feints and Conditions Gratis, n above, or of the Allipnvolso lit soCiety in Dublia, Ettinbures,' mad other Cities an* 7'iMki {a Gie4 *leak and Itand.
