ALI. HOUGH the advantages of Life Assurance
are universally admitted, and Life Assurance Com-
panies establishe I and conducted on sound principles have been
universally successful, it is yet remarkable bow large a portion of
the community there still remains among whom the practice has
made littls progress.
As this apparent apathy cannot be thought to proceed from insen.
sibiliiy to those motives which are common to all classes in civilised
life, it must rather be attributed to the insufficie,,cy of those facilities
whereby the opFoqunity of mak.ng provizion for old age, or for sur-
v,ving relatives, may be secured.
Life Assuraz,ce has in,'eert been carried on for some years in Liver-
pool by two eminent local institutions of mixed business, as wed as
by agencies of metropoiitan and other companies; but this town does
not possess a CHIEF Office of a PURELY Life Assurance Company.
A growing conviction, moreover, preys is among thoughtful men,
that there is no surer method of elevating the people, and improving
their moral as well as ma,erial condition, than by inducing them to
become instrumental themselves in the promotion of their own true
interests.

W It
has, therefore, been determined to establish In Liverpool an office
devoted exclusively to life Assurance business; and, with this view,
'Fables have been newly prepared by a leaddsg London Actuary.
The following will be the objects of the Company:
1. A faller development of sound principles of Life Assurance
addressed to all classes, c .mbining nuihods by which parties can
make provision for 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 n.glected.
3. The practical inculcation, by the ineAns of Life Assurance: of
habits of forethought, self-denial and independence among the
people.
The means by which it wilt be sought to carry out these objects are:
1. Such varied forms of effecting Life Assurance, or securing an
Annuity in old are, 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 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 sui,scribed for,
but the directors, wishing to extend ti.e are of its operations amongst
the general public, willreceive applications for Shares, according to the
subjoined form, until the 31st day of July.

Application for Shares to be addressed to W. P. CLIBEIIIIGH. Esq.,
