The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d.
The assets of the association at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under-the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
98. 2d., and the total outgo .£409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., .£134.811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.

Tho interest received during the year is £117,584 75.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 prr cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cont.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 Is. 9d.
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re
assurances.
The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management are less than those of last
rear by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslnst absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51
per cent. on the total: income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :

by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it

pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value
of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030

ABSOLUTE SECURITY 11)LICIES,
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London,
E.O. Established 1818.

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 promulgate
the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them
which shall bo 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 made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every premium paid. bearing 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 be 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 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 any
future reference to the Company on these points, as is the
case with ordinary assurances.
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 hsued on this plan will be without 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 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 as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may. be called
up,,n to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
AssuraLees—a matter of great importance where policies
are held as collateral security..

It is ouly necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitaWe and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unelodiong,ablo on any pronnd
,vhatever. They may th,refore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.
