ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
LFORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Loudon,
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 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 cawe whatever; while at the -same
time it absolutely guarantees at daceasP, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of tl-, premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every premium paid, burin; the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pr,_
minms 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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 this
case with ordinary assurances.
Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate
this feature as ono 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 bo 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 1-ngest
term provided for is.twenty-five year,, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, nisi others holding policies of this el iss as security,
may siwsys know the utmost amount they may be called
upon to advance seas to maintsin the 101 benefit of the
1 Assurasscs —a matter of groat importance where policies
hem
It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfe:tab!e and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchaliongeable on any •issund
whatever. 'They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £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
