The Directors of this Institution think proper simply to point
out, the peculiar claims which the CHURCH OF ENGLAND
ASSURANCE INSTITUTION has upon the Clergy of the
Established Church, and the Public generally, for countenance
and support.
Many distinctive classes of society have formed their Insur-
ance Companies, depending, in a great degree, upon the aid and
patronage of their respective Members, and especially adapted
to the circumstances of those parts of the community which
they more immediately represent.
The CHURCH of ENGLAND requires the establishment
of a similar Institution, on an enlarged and liberal scale, not
cor fined in the benefits it offers So one class of its great Com-
munity, but calculated to meet the wants and demands which
the social relations and complicated arrangements of property
render so necessary and advantageous to all its Members ;—to
supply this desideratum, and to extend the advantages of a well-
regulated system of Life Assurance among its Clergy, Mem-
bers, and Friends, is the immediate object of this Association ;
its resources not being derived from the Clergy alone, but
from the Laity also, its sphere of usefulness, and its success
under discreet and sound management, will be co-extensive
with the great interests it represents.
The Members of the Church possess more than ordinary
power and influence to promote all the great and beneficial
objects which such an Institution is calculated to effect; and
the Directors of this Company, in undertaking its formation,
have determined to base it upon a principle which cannot fail
to give it peculiar claims to the zealous support of that great
and influential Body.
By the constitution of the Company, guaranteed by its Deed
of Settlement, one clear tenth of the entire profits of the As-
sociation will be applied to the formation of a Fund—to be
called the " CLERGY FUND,"—to be vested in Trustees,
(two-thirds of such Trustees to consist of Clergymen of the
Established Church, to be appointed by a General Meeting of
the Shareholders), to constitute an increasing and perpetual
provision for distressed and deserving Clergymen, and their
Widows and Children, when recommended by the Bishops or
the Clergy of their respective localities ; and generally to meet
such other charitable objects, connected with the Clergy, as
may from time to time arise.
This Fund not being immediately available for all those be.
nevolent purposes, it is contemplated to anticipate one of its
chief objects, by insuring the lives of necessitous Clergymen,
and enabling Congregations to do so, or otherwise providing
for them, at reduced Premium.
The peculiar advantages thus accruing to the Clergy will, it
is confidently hoped, induce them to exert their salutary influ-
ence to promote these charitable objects ; that, by their co-
operation, the Company may have the means of diffusing more
widely the boon offered to their less-fortunate but deserving
Brethren. The Laity, and all those who are attached to the
Church and the benevolent principles which it inculcates, will,
doubtless, be animated by the same feeling.
The Institution grounds its title to the support of the public
in general upon the sound principles on which it is founded, and
offers to them, combined in one establishment, all the benefits
presented by the numerous Metropolitan Assurance Companies,
and at Rates of Premium as low and favourable as are consistent
with its obligations and security to all.
To carry out these great and important objects, this Institu-
tion will embrace several original matters of vast importance,
some of which are peculiar to the CHURCH OF ENGLAND
Company :

LIFE ASSURANCE.
A large paid-up Capital, invested in British securities only,
at all times available ;—an influential proprietary; and Tables
of Rates, calculated to meet every contingency of which Life
Assurance is capable, founded upon the most correct data.
Tables are framed upon participating and non-participating
Rates, and on increasing or decreasing Rates.
Clergymen and others may insure against sickness or old age,
as well as secure, at the same time, a provision for their families
at death, by a small increased Premium.
Loans may be effected on the security of a Policy, or Policies
will be purchased on liberal terms.
Age admitted in the Policy ; and in no case to be disputed
afterwards.

Fraud only to vitiate a Policy.
Claims to be paid within three months after proof of death.
Unopposed Probates of the Diocesan Courts may be held
sufficient to entitle claimants to receive or recover the amount
of Policies, without the expense and delay of a Prerogative
Probate.
Females and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to
appear at the Office, may be attended at their own residences
by the Medical Officers.
A Board of Directors will sit daily at one o'clock. to enable
parties to effect Insurances with the least possible delay ; and
the Medical Officers are in daily attendance at both Offices, for
the examination of applicants.
Medical Men remunerated in all cases for their reports.
ENiIOWMENTS and ANNUITIES, IMMEDIATE,
DEFERRED, and REVERSIONARY, GRANTED on a
LIBERAL SCALE.
TRUSTS.

The peculiar adaptation of a Public Company to the admi-
nistration of Trusts, and the preference it has to the agency
of individuals, is now generally acknowledge The ample
guarantee it offers for the faithful and diligent discharge of
those duties required in carrying out, properly and effectively.
" Testamentary and all other Trusts," cheaply and securely,
which are now too frequently long litigated, expensively exe-
cuted, or, from fraud or insolvency, not performed at all, must
recommend it as the hest possible agency for such business.
