CONSTITUTION.
Although Fire Insurance has increased to a very consider-
able extent, there is a great disproportion between the i
d amount of property insured and toe insurance property of
s -the Nation. It is now also understood that the popularise-
-0 ton of Fire Insurance, like that of Life Assurance, is best
effected by Agencies activel:, employed in the work. It is not
cola-rising, therefore, that these Companies have teen so
7adilY sure oiled by the Public, or that they should imme- lately have become successful and permanent.
. The succ.'ss, however, of' these Companies have been ob-
0 tuned by an atipeal to the. Public generally, and they have ,
0 commenced without any nucleus of specific interest er ccn- ]
ne.tion.
0 ]

The British N,,tion Fire Insurance Company Limited has
0 the certainty before it of securing at once a very large and , profitable business-large in consequence of the aggregate 0 number of persons to whom it can appeal as friends and 7
eupporters, and profitable because the business to be ob-
tained from that aggregate is of the kind known as the best
risks.
The "British Nation Life Assurance Association" has an
d
Ir. come of £170,100 a year ; it is effecting new business yielding
a premium income at the rate of upwards of £35,000 per an-
num ; its policy-holders amount to more than 20,000 ; it has
3 upwards of 3,000 agents; and its connections ate daily in-
-9 creasing. It has thus nearly 30,000 persons to whom the
9 Directors of the British Nation Fire Insurance Company
0 limited have the opportunity to appeal; and it is certain
0
that those who have entrusted them with the large amount oof Lite Assurance represented by the numbers and income
0 above stated, will readily adopt the liberal and advantageous
plan which is here submitted.
D The British Nation Fire Insurance Company Limited will
0 be separate irom the "British Nation Life Assurance As-co-
elation," so far as its Capital, Assets, Income, and Profits
are concerned; but it will at once obtain the advantage of
the whole working Staff of the Life Company. The value of
that Staff may be estimated by the fact that, although Poli-
cies for Life are infinitely more difficult to obtain than Poli-
cies for Fire, scarcely any Life Office is transacting a larger
new business than taat which this Staff obtains for the "Bri-
tish Nation."
These advantaees will also save the payment of any Pro-
,
motion Fees, and a great proportion of the usual Prelimi-
nary Expenses incidental to the establishment of a Company
• of such magnitude ; while by the blending of the Manage-
ment, and by conducting the business of both Comanies in
. ,the same Office, a considerable amount of annual outlay nail
be avoided.
• It has been calculated that little more than one-third of
the property of this country is insured, and that this large
amount of uninsured property consists rath r of the best
risks than of the more hazardous. Few persons possessed
of hazardous property fail to insure it, whilst a very large
, number possessed of non-hazardous property, such as pri-
vate houses and their contents, remain uninsured. And it
is precisely this description of risk that the connections of
the "British Nation Life Assurance Association" will be . , enabled to secure for this Company.
The e ire Company, therefore, now. brought before the
.. Public is no speculative project ; for while Fire Companies
which have had no nucleus of interest to appeal to are yet
welcomed and become immediately successful, this Institu-
- Lion will commence with a powerful connection such as no
Fire Company ever yet possessed.
FIRE INSURANCE SHARES AS AN INVESTMENT.
The BU2C ss of Fire Comp .nies combined wits Lite, when
I. e‘tablished on broad bases, has been uniformly certain, and
the shares of all such established Companies stand at a tirge
• premium over ,he original amount paid upon them, The
following list will show the amount paid, the present price,
and the great increase in value of some of the Comp antes
ref erred to.

Thus while the successes of other institutions have been
realised In consequence of the general Dublio favour with
which they have been regarded, the British Nation Fire In-
surance Company (Limited) has the peculiar advantage of
appeal, to a large body of Shareholders, who have expert-
9tced the profitable advantages of the Life Company; to an
immense body of Life Polioyholdert, many of whom have
received profits on their Policies ; and to a numerous and
highly efficient Staff of Agents, who, in a department of In-
surance infinitely more difficult than that of fire, have proved
their capacity for obtaining a large business.
With such peculiar and manifold advantages, the Directors
feel confident of an immediate and permanent success.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for shares may be
obtained at the offices of the Company, 79, Cannon-street,
City, and 316, Regent-street, or of the Bankers or Brokers.
