CONSTITUTION.
Although Fire Insurance has increased to a very consider-
able extent, there is a great disproportion between the
amount of property insured and tee insurance property of
the Nation. It is now also understood that the popularisa-
tion of Fire Insurance, like that of Life Assurance, is best
effected by Agencies activei employed in the work. It is not
curl rising, therefore, that these Companies have been so
readily sup orte 1 by the Public, or that they should imme-.
diately have become successial and permanent.
The succ.ss, however, of these Companies have ''...,een
tined by an appealto the Public generally, ar:d'
commenced without any nucleus of spec.fic i they ob-
have
ne lion. ..iterest cr ,con-
The British NAlon Fire Insurance Crpany Limited has
the certainty before it of securing at once a very large and
profitable business—large in F°"..sequetice of the aggregate
number of persons to whom ,t can appeal as frienas and
supporters, and profitable °manse the business to be ob-
tained from that aggrew.te is of the kind known as the best
risks.

The "British Nat, an Life Assurance Association" has an
income of .£ 170,(0`
aye ;it is effecting new business yielding
a pia mium itiP,nne at the rate of upwards of £3,,0C0 per an-
num ; its P°',lcy--holders amount to more than 20,000 ; it has
upwards r.frt 3,000 agents ; and its connections ate daily in-
It has thus nearly 30,000 ersons to whom the
~1), ..
ir".ors of the British Nation Fire Insurance Company
I,,rAited have the opportuutty to appeal; and it is certain
twat those who have entrusted them with the large amount
(.I Lite Assurance represented by the numbers and income
above stated, will readily adopt the liberal and advantageous
;plan which is here submitted.
The British Nation Fire Insurance Company Limited will
be separate from the "British Nation Life Assurance As-o-
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 that which this Staff obtains for the "Bri-
tish Nation."
These advantages 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 c
suh magnitude ; while by the blending. of the Manage-
ment, and by conducthag the business of both Comanies in
the same Office, a considerable amount of
annual outlay will
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 N 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
tion wil
welco
tu
medl
commence with a powerful connection such as no
Fire Company ever yet possessed.
FIRE INSURANCE SHARES AS AN INVESTMENT.
The Sine, ss of Fire Companies combined with Lite, when
established on broad bases, has been uniformly certain, and
the shares of all such established Companies stand at a lsrge
premium over the original amount paid upon them. The
following list will show the amount paid, the present price,
and the great increase in value of some ef the Companies
ref erred to.

Thus while the successes of other institutions have been
realised In consequence of the general public favour with
which they have been regarded, the British Nation Fire In-
surance C.mpany (Limited) has toe peculiar advantage of
appeal, to a large body of Shareholders, who have experi-
enced the profitable advantages of the Lite Company; to an
immense body of Life Policyholders, 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
fael 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 31i, Regent-street, or of the Bankers or Brokers.
