lUD VIFTEENTII ANNUAL RE-
PORT, read at the Annual General neetiniliiild'ar the
Society's House on Thursday, 18th March, FUANCIS
WEBB, Esq., in the chair.
The directors havet-eceived 3,212 proposals for assur-
ing the sum of £972,866 18s. 9d. 2,472 policies were
issued, assuring £703,451 4s. and producing in annual
premiums the sum of £25,227 Bd.
The followinglabulated•returns exhibit the new busi-
ness transactions during the three quinquennial periods :

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
L PORPEITATILE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CEIALLENGEAT3LM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Londoa,
E.C. Established 1848.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob-
jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as-
sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their
opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation
of the customary conditions, have resolved to p^omulgate
the present Tables, and to issue 41sitrances under thorn
which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchallengeable.

For the reason 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 all condi-
tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium,
or from any other cause whatever; while at the same
time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de-
fault is ma de iu payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every premium paid, bcaring the same propor-
tion to,the total amount assured as the number of pre-
miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to he paid.
Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the discontinuance of the assurance.

The assured will thus always have thd option of retain-
ing either an ascortained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, in ease 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 any
future reference to the'Comrrany on these points, as is the
case with ordinary assumnee4.

Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate
this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and
it will likewise 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, of a Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will bo without any
conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual
limitation;. 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 securities.

In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest
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 class as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may bo 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 consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground
whatever. They may therefore be aptly tormad 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
business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
AGENTS WANTED.
