LIFE INSURANCES.
The recent extraordinary uprise of projects of this kind must
naturally induce all considerate persons to inquire into, and re-
flect on the security and benefits to be expected from them ;
particularly as before the successive reductions of premiums,
which have lately taken place, and while money improved at a
high rate of interost, upwards of Thirty Life Insurance Offices
broke up, some of them in total insolvency, and the expedients
to which other of the minor Offices have resorted to avoid
payment of heavy claims, render them no less disastrous to
persons who have inconsiderately put their trust in them. Still
Life Insurance continues a favourite subject with the projectors
of Joint Stock Companies, because for the first few years
deaths seldom happen, and all received appears on the side of
profit. On this account also the New Fire Offices undertake
Life Insurance, although for many reasons Life Insurance and
Fire Insurance ought to be kept entirely separate concerns.
Considering these things, and additionally that when a man
insures his life he enters into a contract for life, and if he see
reason cannot withdraw from it, and open a new Insurance in
another Office, but under the material disadvantage of paying
for an advanced age, he will pause before he resorts to untried
adventures while Offices of approved stability and conduct are
open to insure him.
THE PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE will be found upon
examination to have long realised every llenefit and convenience
to the public which is promised in the new projects. For the
main purpose, provision for surviving objects of affection, the
advantages of the Provident Office are second to none. All the
profits, except about 5 per Cent. thereon allotted to the Origi-
nal Members, for their guarantee Capital of a quarter of a Mil-
lion sterling, and their exoneration of the insured from all re-
sponsibility, are septennially divided among all insured for Life,
in proportion to their contributions, and added to their policies ;
or in their option applied to the reduction of their future pre-
miums. These additions have amounted to 40 per Cent. on the
premiums received, and in the whole to 313,6621. Their effect
may be judged of from a policy taken out by his late Majesty on
his own life for 3,0001., which additions encreased to 3,9631.
As some recent Offices have adopted the name Provident, it
may be necessary to observe that the Provident Life Office,
founded in 1806 conjointly with the Original Provident Institu-
tion or Bank for Savings, is in Regent-street, Piccadilly.
