A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, Ug-
cl- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CIIALLENUEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, Loudon,
E.U. 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 modo 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 thorn
which shall bo absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchellengeablo.

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 cep,-
eialls 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 fixei sun: in
respect of every premium paid, b,a,ing the sanr3 propor-
tion to the total amount assnr.,l as the ntonly.r of pr^-
miems actually pail may hear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to to pail.
Besides this important a lvantage, every porey will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the diceontinuance of the assurance.

Tte, assured will thus always have the option of ret:dn-
log either an nso,rtalned fix-d su:n payable at d .cease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amonnt, cc-
curling t the duration of the Policy, su,:h amounts being
set forth on every Poliey, nn•l rendering unnecessary any
future reference to the Company on these poi:tts, as is the
case wish ordinary assuranees, -

Ore ;it rismring, the lives of debtors will appreciate
this katore as we greatly protective of Voir int,rests, and
b. wi:l iii ew.se vont:newt Vs,lf to blnkers, 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-
vers'olarv, of a Policy of this description. •
Every Policy issued on this plan will be withou,t, any
conditions as to voyaging. foreign residence, or other usual
limitations. By this freedom from rostrictions of all kinds
the objections before referred to will be entirely removed,
and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as
actual secnrities.
lu addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of-premiums is strictly &lined. The I,,ngest
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 cltsi as security,
may always know the utmost amount- they may ho called
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assuranzes—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 nncon-
! ditional, they will also he unebtiliongeable on any ground
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Seenrity
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
s,sses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un•
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
bnqin,ss of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
