ALTHOUGH the advantages of Life Assurance
are universally admitted, and Life Assurance Com-
panies established and conducted on sound principles have been
universally successful, it is yet remarkable how large a portion of
the community there still remaics among whom be practice has
made little progress.
As this apparent apathy cannot be thought to proceed from insen.
sibility to those motives which are common to all classes in civilised
life, it must rather be attributed to the insufliciu.cy of those facilities
whereby the opportunity of mak.ng provision for old age, or for sur-
v.ving relatives,may be secured.
Life Assurance has in ;eel been carried on for soma years in Liver-
po tl by two eminent local institutions of mixed business, as well as
by agencies of metropolitan and other companies; but this town does
not possess a Camp Office of a PURELY Life Assurance Company.
A growing conviction, moreover, prevails among thoughtful men,
that there is no surer method of elevating the people, and improving
their moral as well as material condition, than by inducing them to
become instrumental themselves in the promotion of their own true
interests.

It has, therefore, been determined to establish in Liverpool an office
devoted exc!nsively to Life Assurance business; and, with this view,
Tables have been newly prepared by a leading London Actuary.
The following will be the objects of the C,,mpany :
1. A fuller development of sound principles of Life Assurance
addressed to all classes, c mbining methods by which parties can
make provision fur themselves• in the decline of life, as well as
for their representatives after death.
2. The extension of Life Assurance among those classes by whom its
practice has hitherto been comparatively neglected.
3. The practical inculcation, by the means of Life Assurance, of
habits of forethoUght, self-denial and iodependtmce among the
people.
The means by which it will be sought to carry out these objects are:
1. Such varied forms of effecting Life Assurance, or securing an
Annuity in old age, as are calculated to bring these benefits
within the reach of all classel of the community.
2. Strict Economy, and Careful Management,
3. A respectable and known body of Directors.
Th. Guarantee of a paid up and safely-invested capital.
5. Open audit, and full annual statements.
Tables and Examples explanatory of the system referred to uill be
contained in a future prospectus.

A large proportion of the Shares have been already su'scribed for,
but the directors, wishing to extend the area of it> operations amongst
the general public, willreceive applications for Shares, according to the
subjoined form, untd the 31st day of July.
Application for Shares to be addressed to W. P. CLIB.ERUGH, Esq.,
'Manager of the "Queen Life Assurance and Annuity Company,"
( Temporary Office,) No. 34, Castle-street, where forms of application
'can be obtained.
