A BSOLUTE„. SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
.EL FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
biIALLENOEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Louden,
--E.C.: Established 184€ V-

The Directors of this Company, in deference to en ob-
jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as-
sure, that the.orlinary mode of Life Assurance is in their
opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation
of the customary conditions, have resolved to p-omulgate
the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them
which shall bo: absolutely Ullforfeitablo, Unconditional,
and Unchallengeable.
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 eontinue p:ytnent of their pre-
.lllilllll9, the AQsur.inco will beeome forfeited. To this
c'ass of the pul,lie the us:et-it now introduced will espp-
cia!l3 commend itself, being entlrely free from ;Al condi-
tion.; of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium,
or from any other cause whatever; while at the same
time it absolutely guarantees at tl.i•ce.tsc, when even a de-
, fault is made in payment of the p -amium. a fixed sum in
respect of every pt end= paid, 13-ruing the same propor-
, Cora to the total amount assured' as th,, number of pre-
, edema actually aid may bear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to be paid.
1;e•-ides thiS iMportant nivantage,every policy will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the discontinuance of the assurance.

The assure! 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.
. Credit,rs assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate i
this fcature 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 be entirely removed,
land the Policies will become at once positively valuable as
, actual securities.
I In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
1 the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest
1
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 atcouut they may he called
up(p t,o so as to nraintaiti_the full benefit of the
ASSCiran.ces—ii matter of great importance where policies
ar..held as collateral security.
It is only necessary to ndd that, as a eon,:equen,r of the
policies under these tables being unforleitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any 1,. round
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of L'215,000 a year Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
I business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
