UNITY FIRE and UNITY GENERAL
INSURANCE ASSOCIATION.
Chief Offices, 40, Pall-mall, London,
September 14, 1854.
TO TUE SHAREHOLDERS AND INSURERS.
s_4Tentlemen,--.4 have the pleasure to announce to you that on
LurdaY next, the 16th instant, an advertisement, occupying many
01nrens, will be inserted ie the " Times," and other London morning
papers—the object of which is, to place before the public an exaosi-
to of the principles of these two Associations, together with the
narnfs.and addresses of a large number of the Shareholders, To
,important proceeding I am desirous of dr :wing your special
atte
es "old. A circular from this office will be despatched to the
e
has on this subject; but, lest the circular might miscarry,
n ett „ been deemed desirable to address you through the columns of
‘e,il Press.
ei_it is flow bordering upon two years since the Unity Fire Associa-
mon commenced business. At this period last year we clos=d the
share list
having issued 500,000 shares, obtained the full subscrio-
ds for our capital, and effected 4 277 policies insurins 2,398 9941.
m
the 24th of September the great advertisement, which attracted
the_ attention of the whole country, was inserted in the " 'nines"
and, other morning journals. The immediate effect was to arouse
s_
an amount of attention as it may safely be affirmed no edver-
isernent ever before succeeded in attracting, and s effect on the
Institution far excee led the very hignest ex ,eetations thst had
Zell formed of it. Notwithstanding the imrnete ity of the sroprie-
f rY, the array of names produced such confidence that the demand
t; shares was greatly increased; and in November, only six neees
after the appearance of the advertisemmt, we created an in-
creased capital with the issue of 1,000.0 0 new shares at cent. per
.cent, premium. Of these new shares, 116,000 have be -a issued, and
the Dreiniuin received amounts to more than 10,0001., showing a
Nroflt to the Association of nearly 501. per diem since the Ist of 1
!hharY. The proprietary, already increased some thousands, is
becoming d ly by 'lay more widely diffused.
thethe three quarters immediately succeeding the appearance of
v:se great advertisement, we issued 8,74,5 policies insuring 5,985,6331,
"e th tt, in 21 months, 12,523 policies had been issued insuring
e;"h„884
,627/., while the business for six months from Christmas showed
average of 30,0001. per diem, 175,0001. per week, or upwards of
190,009/. a.year.
Such results, gratifying as they must be, should be stimulants to
increased exertions ; and the Direetce s feel bound to pursue .a course
Which has been attended with so much benefit to the Associations
over which they preside. The Unity Associations have enormous
and unprecedented proprietaries, but nevertheless they look to the
12tiblic for the appreciation of their principles, and to that unlimited
Beld for the extension of their business. The public mind must be
!Wormed of the principles of the Unity, of t- e astvantages it offers to
insurers, of the extent of its resources, of the perfect security it affords,
and of the large amount of support it has already received.
It must be in your memory that, on 'a former occasion, a vast deal
Was said by the agent s of rival institutions respecting the policy of the
coarse pursued by the Unity, and an uneasy feeling was attempted to
be created in the minds of the shareholders that the management was
pursuing tin extravagant course, adyerse to the pecuniary interests
of the shareholders. It may have occurred, however, to some of the
shareholders, that the extraordinary anxiety for their interests ex-
pressed by the agents of rival companies—which had been most un-
scrupulous in their attempts to injure the Association—was not above
Suspicion. Itis not usual for rivals to be so anxious for the welfare
Of their competitor, and you may well look with distrust upon advice
coming* from such quarters. If other companies have any interest at
all in our Association, it is in its downfall, and they certainly will
.heep silence, rather than velunteer advice, when they see us parsu-
Mg a course which they fancy leads to de-truction.
There may, however, be those who. unacquatinted with the philo-
SOphy of advertising, might be inclined to douo the prudence of the
course adopted, and to such I would address a few words of explana-
tion. supposing that an ordinary advertisement were to appear
Weekly in your local papers—Liverpool, for example—for 12 moetlis
You. would consider, and naturally, such advertising necessary for
Publicity, seeing that there are numberless insurers and a great pub-
lieh
to appeal to. You would not think that course extravazant
e
expenditure of the money would excite no surprise. No " friendly
Warning" would reach your ear of the reckless expenditure of the
Management. Shareholders in M mehester, Nottingham, Bir-
lninghane Leeds, Eastern Counties, Hampshire, and in the west,
Would think with you. But what would be the result ? In doing
this, we should have expended, in 12 months, 30,0001.! And for
what? As is created no surprise in the mind of the Shareholders,
SO it would have aroused no attention with the puleic. Rut we
Spend, he one day, a thirtieth" part of the money, and in the
broadsheets of the great metropolitan press, whose circulat ons
are prescribed by the boundaries of the world only, we exhibit in one
thus only to be obtained, which startles and most effectually attracts
Public attention.
In soliciting your attentive perusal of the advertisement of the
16th instant, I could just remark that the principles of the Unity
General Assurance Assoclation, and the benefits which will accrue
to life assurers in that institution, you will al,o find there exolamed.
The interests of the two associations are now so identified, that
It is scarcely possible to take any step with regard to the one without
benefltting the other. Lest year the expense of the large advertise-
latent was borne by the Unity Fire Association alone. Now the ex-
pense is divided in proportion between the two associations. This is
One of the many advantages which will be derived by the two asso-
ciations acting in ceneert.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
THDIAS H. B eYLTS,
Managing Director.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced snore misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Ito perusal is
Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
it is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
May be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and bow the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is seemly any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant
ImPirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
aith in their pretensions.
