ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.C. Established 1848.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob-
jection not uufrequently urged by persons invited to as-
sure. that the ordinary mode of Life Assdrance is in their
opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation
of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate
the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them
which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and I;l:challengeable.
. .

For thercaso n referred to, many persons hesitate or
decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in-
ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre-
miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this
class of the public the system now introduced will espe-
cially commend itself, being entirely free from condi-
tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium,
or from anv other cause whatever; while at the same
time it absolutely guarantees at ,liza ase, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the p,ozniutn. a fixed sum in
respect. of every In paid, lyaring the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
miums actually paid may hear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to be paid.
Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawdon
the discontinuance of the assurance.
The assured will thus always have the option of retain-
ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain :Amount, ac-
cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being
set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary anv
future reference to the Company on these points, as is th.e
case with ordinary assurances.
Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate
this feature as one greatly protective;of their interests, and
it will likew'se commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and
others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally
secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by
mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re-
versionary, ora Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will be withaukt any
conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual
limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds
the objections before referred to will be entirely removed,
and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as
actual s.curities.

In addition to the foregoing statement of advantves,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The 1 ngest
term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this chat as security,
may *Lwow:3 know the utmost amount they may be called
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies
are held as collateral security.

It is only necessary- to add that, as a conscgnence of the.
policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallongeable on any r.round
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.

The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un•
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
bu,-..ines of any ()lice in the Kinglom. SPECIAL
