Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :-
1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-

clueing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,853,
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 hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect 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 more 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 net exceed 60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain
on credit.
ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,
without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified ago, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may bo assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.
Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can bo obtained
of any of the Society's Agents, or of
GEORGE OUTULIFFE, Actuary and Secretary.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.G. 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 r-ornulgate
the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them
which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unclthllengeable.
For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or
decline. to_assure on the ground that, iu the event of in-
ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre-
miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this
crass of the public the system now introduced will espe-
ciall 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 dece.is,-, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
rtraylp

assuredo: s thehe whole tie
lnl samenlb e' i o

ieloisinpu'n3tcost actuallytoh feetve)
origi-
nally contracted to bo 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 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 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 be called
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of great importance whore policies
are held as collateral security.
It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon-
ditional, they will also be
