Total number of Policies granted from December, 1652, to

Under the following heads are briefly enumerated the leading
principles of this Society :
OBJECTS OF TILE .','OCIETY.
I. A Life Assurance may be effected either by One Payment, or
by an Annual Premium.
2. Packs may be effected %SITU or without the privilege of
withdrawing one-half of the Annual Payments. If with-
out this privilege, the rates are lower.
3. A Lite Assurance may be effected on the life of another, on
Joint Lives or Survivorships.
4. Annuities, Immediate, Deferred, or Contingent, will be
granted; also Endowments for Children.
5. Naval and Military Men, not in active foreign service, as-
sure i without extra charge, and allowed to go abroad with-
out forfeiture of Policy, on payment of an extra Premium,
according to climate.
In the event of the Assured (when on the Withdrawal System)
not requiring to continut the Pollen, on its surrender one. half the
annual payments will he returned by way of purchase of his interest
therein. By this in. any, apprehension of great pecuniary loss and
doubt as to the intrinsic trans;erable value of each Policy is re-
moved. its cash vaiue being fixed and determined beforehand be the
Society at one-half the annual premiums paid thereon : a vast class
of society will thereby be admitted ; and every individual, while
steadily pursuing one object—a provision for his family at death—
will have, by the plan of this Society, a door open to his savings,
which will never be closed against his wants or his use.
Prospectuses, Report of last Annual Meeting, Forms of Proposals
for Assurance, and every descr'ption of ne^essary Blank Forms, with
Tables of Itatts, and full information on all points, furnished, on ap-
plication at 26, Cornhill, or at any of the Company's Agencies.

public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like

A portrait of the late Mr. Justice Talfourd, painted
by his brother, Mr. Field Talfourd, has been presented
to the corporation of Reading, to be placed in the Town
Hall, as a remembrance of the close connection which
for so many years subsisted between him and the inha-
bitants of his native town, as their friend, and also as
their representative in Parliament. This faithful and
valuable likeness of the late judge was presented by his
venerable mother,
