LECTURES and LAW CLASSES,IB6B-69.

LECTURES.
Three Courses of Lectures on Common and Mercantile
Law, Conveyancing, and the Law of Real Property and
Equity, will be delivered in the Ilan of the Society in the
mouths of March, April, May, and June next.

LAW CLASSES.
In connexion with the lectures classes will be conducted
under the guidance and superinteridouce of the lecturers,
and will proceed concurrently with the lectures. The
number of subscribers to each class will be limited, and
the instruction given will be confined to an examination
of the students upon the subject of a preceding lecture, or
on portions of a given book bearing on the same subject.
A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and
be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc-
tion and examination of the students. The teaching of the
lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the
memory by the classes ; and the system of constant ex-
amination will test, from time to ime, the progress made
by the students.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 02, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.C.
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 Unchalleugeable.
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 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 fixed sum in
respect of every premium 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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 Ps3'able 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
cair
nteests, and
it will likewise commend itself to bankers, pitalists, and
others who are in the habit of making s c
advanceollaterall
secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by.y
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 voyaeing, 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 isstrictly 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
fall benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of
great importance where policies
are held as collateral security.
It is only necessary to add that as a consequence of the
beingu
policies under these tables belnnforfeitable aod uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground
whatever. They termed Absolute
Spcurity may therefore be aptly
