The objez.t of this Institution is to encourage the truly
laudable lesign of Lite Insurance .ind Provision for Old Age,
by reducing those transaCtions to principles of the utmost pos-
sible. Public Benefit : with this view an extensive Society
of Not.'eines' and Gentlemen have entered into a Subscrip-
tion of 250,0001. to constitute an Original Capital, and, tak-
ing upon themselves the sole responsibility of the Establish.
mast, they entitle the Persons insured and Annuitants to par-
ticipate i• Profits, atter the expellees ot an economical ma-
na,:einent are defrayed, in which the President, Direetors,
Trustee.s, and Auditors att gratuitously. Thus, by the spe-
chic Sums insured, and the division of contingent Profits,
every Nlember has the fullest-possible value for his Payments,
without being subject to calls upon any losses whatever.
This important and unprecedented advantage is peculiar to
the Provident Institution.

Military Alen insured at this Office are not charged with
any additional Premium, unless called into adual Service.
No Admission Fees are required; nor is any charge made
for Policies. _ _ .

,Reviews of the First Edition of this Work :

1. This Work will prove highly acceptable to those who
wish to attain a practical acquaintance with the science of
which it treats. Cite Author exhibits throughout the Work
a great degree of chemicai knowledge ; and his method of
communicating knowledge to others is engaging. With the
practical part of the various processes in chemistry he seems
to be well acquainted; and the accuracy and precision with
which he describes thm will render this \\ ork valuable,
not only to tytos but to proficients in the science."—Philo.
soph. Mag.
We think this Work, as an elementary treatise, highly
valuable. It is clear, explicit, and ,comprehensive. The
different properties of bodies are detailed with perspicuity,
and supported by easy apposite experiments. The particular
descriptions are preceded by a clear account of the nature of
chemical action, and the fads that demonstrate the attrac-
tion and repulsion of bodies."—Critical Review, v. 39. p. 380.
" This work is drawn up for the use of such as are unac-
quainted with chemical science, and will doubtless prove
acceptable to the numerous cultivators of the Science of
Chemistry."--N icholson's journal.

Testimonies in Favour of this Work :

" We have no hesitation in saying, that this Work cannot
fail to prove extremely useful. The first volume, in parti-
cular, is executed in a 'manner highly creditable to the judg-
ment and abilities of the Author, who has rendered an essen-
tial service to his Country by its publication. Should the
Work meet with that reception wh►ch it merits from the pub-
lic, we have no doubt but a new edition will soon be de-
manded." - - Phil. -Mag. No 95.
' On the whole, we regard the present as a useful and re-
spettable Treatise. We have been much entertained and in-
strueled by the Second Volume ; though we can do little
more than state in general terms, that the descriptions, in ge-
neral, arc full and satisfaCtory. This part of the Mechanics
we'consider to be highly useful ; and, indeed, there does not
now occur to our minds any English Work of the same plan
and extent. The plates are neatly executed, and by a very
judicious arrangement placed by themselves in a separate
volume."—Ctitical Review, May, 1806.
" Though these volumes are of the octavo size, yet as the
type is small, and the page full, they contain a vast quantity
of materials."

" As an elementary work this Treatise on Mechanics is by
far preferable to any other work extant, at least in the Eng-
lish language. The style is perspicuous, the arrangement of
materials is in very few places susceptible of improvement;
the information it contains is extensive, and the plates are
elegant ; we do not therefore hesitate to recommend it to the
attention of the ;cientitic world."—British Crit. Aug. iBo6.
