PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE,
REGENT-STREET, PICCADILLY.
In 1806, there were only eight Life Offices, in London, in-
cluding the PROVIDENT. Since then, their number has in-
creased to nearly 100. Of thew, about 30 have broken up, and
72 is
.their number in thikLondon Directory for the present year.
Some of the recent Offices have taken the name " PROVI-
DENT.' It thence becomes necessary to take notice that the
PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE founded conjointly with the
first original Provident Institution, er 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—
nerated from 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 3,000/. which the additions in-
creased to 3,963/.
