The following is the PROSPECTUS already published :
Experience has established the value and importance of Life
Assurance to all classes of thd,community ; and the prosperity
attending the institutions of t his nature, which have already
been foundCd, incontestibly proves the soundness of the princi-

sources of their families after death, may yet be regarded as
more immediately and especially beneficial to those persons
who are wholly dependent upon their Own exertions for sup.
port, or who have only a life-interest in the property they pos-
sess. It is valuable also, inasmuch as it enables individuals
with fixed incomes, (from whatever source derived, whether
from Government or other situations, or from pensions or an-
nuities for lives), to perpetuate them to their representatives
—offers entire indemnity to credit Ors against loss by the demise
of debtors—secures the continti ante of leases determinable upon
lives, and renewable by fine—attaches responsibility to personal
security, thereby assisting individuals to obtain such temporary
aid, by way of loan, as may be necessary for conducting their
business, or the fulfilment of. their engagements—anticipating,
and altogether providing agairist the inconvenience and injury
often occasioned by the with! trawal of capital from business on
the death of a partner. Ins nort, it is available to persons in
every profession, trade, offices, and circumstance; and, under
all the modifications, and con: ta,ntly occurring varieties of con-
tingent interests, dependent upcm the duration of life.
Nevertheless, strange te'siy, ,but very few persons have hi-
therto availed themSelves,cf the inestimable benefits which Life
Assurance is so well adapted t o bestow—their number being
only about 88,000 out of the vast population of the United
Kingdom. It is, therefore,leiident that an ample field remains
open for the exertions of a new Company of a similar charac-
ter. Moreover, it must be. evident that if such Company can,
irrespective of the advantag ss usually proffered by the Societies
already established, and wi .thout risk to the interests either of
the Proprietors or of the Ai ssured, propose other benefits highly
useful and important to 14 oth, it must safely and successfully
enter into competition wit n the existing Institutions with full
cerfidence in the support's sf the public.
Of the large profits whi ch have been derived by the Share-
nolders in some of the pri; ?cipal Assurance Companies, an idea
may be formed by the perusal of the following short 'fable,
which has been compiled 'from the most authentic sources;
and, from tit's, it must be manifest, that a Corepany which, in
addition to the ordinary I ;u:iness of Life Assurance, embraces
also the ,business of a Loa 4) Bank to the Assured, will, if ably
conducted, offer to the Cal sitalist a secure and productive in-
vestment, without trouble c r the danger of pecuniary loss.
