THE TONTINE LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital 2,000,0001., in 100,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit, in compliance with the provisions of the statute 7 and 8
Viet., c. 110, Two Shillings per Share, until the complete Registra-
tion of the Company, when the same will be increased to 11. per
Share, which, with the assistance anticipated from the Tontine De-
partment, will, it is expected, be sufficient to carry out the objects
of the Company.
The plan of this Company offers considerable and peculiar advan-
tages to the Shareholders, as in addition to the profit arising from
Life Assurance transactions, it is proposed to raise a capital of
1,000,0001., or more, by the grant of Tontine Annuities, in classes
to be regulated by the ages of the Subscribers or their Nominees ;
which capital, on the death of the survivor in each class, will be
divided exclusively among the Shareholders. The principle of the
Tontine Annuities is explained below.

and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted
scale.

Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half only
of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon
the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the
arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti-
cipation of the profits.
For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the
whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been
adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with
the interests of the Company.
The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value
of the policy, on its security.
In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will
be exercised.

A Table of Premiums will shortly be published.
TONTINE ANNUITIES.
This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to
the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons,
who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence
as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this
mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera-
tive and increasing income, guaranteed M them by the Company
during their own lives or the lives of their nominee.
The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An-
nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec-
tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an-
nuity granted is 61. per cent, per annum, each subsoriber or nominee
will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 61. ;
but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be
divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of
whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re-
spectively die eff, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re-
ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the
shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of
subscribers or their nominees.
This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every
individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap-
propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in-
stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen-
i dente and comfort in their declining years.
Parents may also by these means provide for their children.
Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.
