T HOUGH 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 remains among whom the practice has
made little progress.
As this apparent apathy cannot be thlught to proceed from insen.
sibility to those motives which are common to all classes in civilised
lire. it roust rather be attributed to the Insufficie,cy of those facilities
whereby the opportunity of rnak:ng provision for old age, or for snr-
v.ving relatives, may be secured.
Life Assurance has in .ee f been carried on for some years in Liver-
po )1 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 CHIEF Office of a roasts Life Assurance Company.
A growing conviction, moreover, prevails among thoughtful men,
that there is no surer method of elevating the people, and improving
the:r 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 exclusively 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 Company:
I. A fuller development of sound principle.; of Life Assurance
addressed to all classes, c .mbining wthods 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
pract'ce has hitherto been comparatively neglected.
3. The practical inculcation, by the men= of Life Assurance, of
habits of forethought, self-denial and independence among the
people.
The means by which it will be sought to carry out these objects are:
I. Such varied forms of ejecting Life Assurance, or securing an
Annuity in old age, as are calculated to bring these benefits
within the reach of all classes of the community.
2. Strict Economy, and Careful Management,
3. A respectable and known body of Directors.
4. Th, Guarantee ofa paid. up and safely-invested Capital.
5. Open audit, and full annual statements.
• Tables and Examples explanatory of the system referred to will be
contained in a future prospectus.
A large proportion of the Shares have been already au ',scribed for,
but the directors, wishing to extend the are a of it: operations amongst
the general public, willreceive applications for Shares, according to the
subjoined form, until the 31st day of July.
