A BSOLUTI SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, .and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London,
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 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 pi emium 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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 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 aro 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 Waled on this plan will be withcra any
conditions as to voyaeine; foreign residence, or other usual
limitations. By this freedomr from restrictions of all kinds
tha 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 longest
term provided for is twenty-fire years. and the shortest,
five years, as shown by the Tab:eA. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others bolding policies of this ells,: as security,
may Always know the utmost amount they may be called
upon to advance sn as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assnrati_vs—a matter of groat importance where- p,!Veles
are held as collateral security.

It is only neccsssry to fold that, as a consequence of the
rolie;es under these tables helm; unforreitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also ho unehaliengoablo on any vrnuud
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.

sesses an inrome of .£215,000 a year Its position is me
