I RUE LOVE. By LADY DI BEAUCLERK,
Author of `• A Summer and Winter in Norway."

"It is evid nt that Lady Di Beanelerk, with her acute power
of perception, and no less sharp method of delncation, may
become one of the most powerful and popular writers of the
time. Her novel is a charming story of • Prue Love,' as fragrant
and as welcome as the flowers of May. The plot is skilfully in-
terwoven, and carries the interest of the reader with anxiety to
the denouement. The characters are sketched most art stically.
There is true pathos in the work, and a keen sense of humour."

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.

HENRY ROSE, 1- Auditors
The total income of the year. it will be seen. is £514,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 11s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., .£131,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to 4907,552 Bs. 6d.
The 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 per 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 cent.
The premiums on new assurances aro £14,596 ls. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has boon 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 menagement are less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslaka absorbed
by the company. Tho whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of littlo more than 51-
per cent. on the total income.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
LA- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, end UN-
CHALLENGEABLM, 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 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 be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Un oh alien geable.
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. a
Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex-
pressly state whit 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 fix,d 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 asauring 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 be without any
conditions se to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual
limil.ltions. Tly 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-five years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this chss as security,
may always 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 consequence of the
policies under these tables being. unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also he unchallongeable on any ground
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of .C 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
