BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
Lik- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CIIALLENG EADLNI, icon d by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 0, Ludgate-bill, Loudon,
E.G. Established 1848.

The Directors of this Company, in deice-once to an ob-
jection not unfrennently ur,ed by p a-sons 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 Unforfeitablo, 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 becom, forfeited. To this
cla-,s of the public the system now introduced will espP-
daily 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 Ealllo
time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of tlna premium. a fixed sum in
respect of every pletniutn 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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 l'olicy of this description.
Every Policy issued 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 bo entirely removed,
and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as
actird securities.
In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
or t e s
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest
term provided for is twenty-fit

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presentefilt
the Antual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :
1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assuming, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other band, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithtanding that its increase was retard epl by
abatementq of premium which did not take diet in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by ore than
£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence.
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of the
Society :
CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of
Life, where the age does not exceed .60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain

ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,

able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.

to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.
Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained
