nuities, founded by this Society, the moral obligation of all
classes of making a provision for a family or for old age is
largely enhanced, by the immediate advantages secured to the
Assured themselves.

in the system of Assurance, its economical arrangements in
lavour of the Assured, its extensive Tables, &c., will be found
in its Prospectus, which may be obtained at the Offices of the

___. _...... _...
The County is the only Firs Office which has constantly
made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years.
These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have
amounted to upwards of 100,000/.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty en his own life
for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,9631.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-
jected within the ast two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such
new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma-
nagement of the Provident Life Office.

CIETY, 351, Strand.

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, viz. :—.
Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/, to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing kpparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could se readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the offict, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

" We must frankly confess that this is not only a most de-
lightful work, but that in the present-day it is likely to be pre-
eminently successful. The Authoress is sounding the toscin
in behalf of the poor factory children—a task infinitely more
creditablo than anything that was done by Wilberforce for
the negroes. But, setting aside these higher considerations,
and looking at the ' Factory Boy' simply as a novel, it will
bear a comparison with any of the most popular novels that
have appeared in the periodical form."—Parthenon.
