GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE
UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, Charlotte-row, Mansion-
house, London.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security. from an ample capital, and only requires,
when an Insurance is for the whole period of life, one half of the
very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the
date of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the pay-
ment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be deducted ab death, or
may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes
easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this ar-
rangement, a provision for his family ; and should lie at any time
after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he
may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums
for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Com-
panies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
281. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, secure to his widow and chil-
dren at his death payment of no less than 3,000/., subject only to
the deduction of 1441. 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.

These additions are stated for the sake of distinctness, as in refer.
ence to a Policy of 5,0001., being the maximum risk taken on any
'gle life. The results, for Policies, of smaller amount, are pre-
cisely proportional ; thus, for 2,5001. Policies, they are one-half,
and for 1,0001. Policies, one-fifth of the above amount, and so on.
During the early years of the Society, no risks so large as 5,0001.
were taken on single lives, although now, and for many years past,
they have been freely taken on select lives.
No Life Office in Great Britain, since the EQUITABLE •f
LONDON enacted its restricting Bye-Law of 1816, has been ena-
bled to afford equal advantages to the Assured.
Its Funds and Revenues are in a state of the most rapid increase.
