DROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE,
REGENT-STREET, PICCADILLY.
In 1806, there were only eight Life Offices, in London, in-
cluding the PROVIDENT. Since then their number has
increased to nearly 100. Of these, about 80 have broken up,
and 72 is their number in the London Directory for the present
year. Some of the recent offices have taken the name
" PROVIDENT." It thence becomes uecessary to take no-

tice that the PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE founded con-
jointly with the first original Provident Institution, or Bank for
savings in 1806, is in Regent-street, Piccadilly.
In the PROVIDENT the profits are divided among the
parties insured. at the same time that they are effectually exo-
neratedfrom the unlimited responsibility to which persons are
subject, on the principle of mutual insurance. The effect of
these profits may be judged by a Policy taken out by his late
Majesty on his own life; for 3,0001. which the additions in-
creased to 3,90.31.
