GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE
UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
Waterleo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, Charlotte-row, Mansion-
house, London.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
14,,,;'t perfect security, from an ample capital, and only requires,
"eu an Insurance is for the whole period of life, one half of the
Mate moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the
ate of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the pay-
ment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at, death, or
may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes
I"t8Y for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this ar-
-I.2.flgement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time
after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, be
',nay relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums
for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Com-
Panics. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
*/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, secure to his widow and chil-
dren at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to
The deduction of 144/. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium un-
paid, This Company holds out, in various other respects, great
Inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is
clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a for-
tune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a
sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.
