9. The security and value of investments of this descrip-
tion may be estimated by the above Table, which shows
the extraordinary and permanent increase in the value of
Shares in fifteen existing Companies in England, and four
Companies in •France, and it may be safely stated that no
other description of investment offers more satisfactory
results.

10. These plain facts, and the very favourable circum-
stances under which this Company has been established,
having received the cordial support of several old-estab-
lished Assurance Offices, and secured the services as Mana-
ger, of Mr. Chas. C. Green, for many years the Manager of
an Assurance Company in the City, and part of the capital
having been subscribed, the. Directors determined some
months since to commence business, and thus practically
test the promises of support made from so many quarters be-
fore bringing the Company before the public ; and they
have the satisfaction of stating that they have received
1,272 Proposals, amounting to the large sum of £1,034,431,
as appears by the books of the Company ; the premiums
on which they believe exceed in amount the first year's in-
come of many existing Insurance Offices of high standing
and respectability. Advantageous arrangements have been
made with an Established Fire Insurance Company for re-
insuring half their risks, by which nearly 600 Policies will
at once be opened by the Company in that department.
And in order still further to extend the operations of the
Company and take advantage of the offers of new business
received from various quarters, the Directors now offer the
remaining Shares to the public, believing it will prove a
safe and profitable investment.
11. In the event of no allotment of shares being made,
the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number
of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will
be made available towards the payment due on allotment,
and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.
Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may
be made to the Solicitors, the Bankers, Brokers, and to the
Manager, at the Offices of the Company, No. 60, King
William-street (opposite Eastcheap), London.

To be retained by, the Bankers.
