ALTI-OUGH the-advantages of Life Assurance
are universally admitted, and Life Assurance Com-
panies Established and cordacted on sound principles have been
universally successful, it is yet remarkable how large a portion of
the corn in unity there still remains among whom the practice has
made little progress.
As this apparent apathy cannot be thought to p•oceed from insen.
slbility to those motives which are common to all classes in civilised
life, it must rather be attributed to the insufficiet.cy of those facilities
whereby the opretunity of mak,ng provision for old age, or for sur-
v. ving relatives, may be secured.
Life A.ssuras,ce has indeed been carried on for some years in Liver-
pod by two eminent local institutions of mixed business, as wed as
by agencies of metropolitan and other companies; but this town does
not possess a CHIEF 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 exclusively to life Assurance business ; and, with this view,
ables have been newly prepared by a leading London Actuary.
The following will be the objects of the Company:
1. A fuller development of sound principles of Life Assurance
addressed to all classes, c ,mbining methods by which parties can
make provision for themselves in the deeine of life, as well as
for their representatives after death.
2. The extension of Life Assurance among those classes by whom its
practSce has hitherto been comparatively n.glected.
3. The practical inculcation, by the me.; ns of Life Assurances of
habits of forethought, self-denial and independence among the
people.
The means by which it will be sought to carry out these cbjects 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 classes of the community.
2. Strict Economy, and Careful Management.
3. A respectable and known body of Directors.
4. Th. Guarantee of a paid. up and safely-invested-Capital.
5. Open audit, and fall 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 subscribed for,
but the directors, wishing to extend tle are•: of its operations amongst
the general public, will receive applicationsfor Shares, according b the
subjoined form, until the 31st day of July.

Application for Shares to be addressed to W. P. Ctrazathan, Esq.,
Manager of the " Qaeen Life Assurance and Annu,ty Company,"
( temporary Office,) No. 34, Castle-street, where forms of application
can be obtained.
