amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
The directors draw special attention► to the fact thrt the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected nn the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be eutitled to participate
in the same.

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

HENRY ROSE,

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £131.811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
The interest received during the year is £117,584 75.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore be considoed as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 is. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances.
The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by
nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management are less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than
per cent. on the total income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :

HENRY ROSE,
The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown
by this account. On cemparing it with that of 1867, it
will be observed that further investments have been made
on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about
£ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com-
pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value
of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030

A [SOLUTE SECHRETY POLICIES, UN-
FoRFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, i.sucd by iho PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.U. 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 resolvod to promulgate
the present Tables, and to is,un Assurances wider them
which shall be absolutely Unforfcitable, Unconditional,
and Unchallengeable.
For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or
decline to assure on the ground thai, in the event of in-
ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre-
mintnq, the Assurance will ly,,come forfeited. To this
class of the public the system now introduced will espe-
-6013 commend itself, Wier entirely free from 41 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 d3celse, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every ptemium paid, lyaring. the, SBlllO 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 fix,-(1 stun payable at decease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac-
cording t the duration of tho 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 asLuring 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, eitber immediate or re-
versionary, of a Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will be withcu,t any
conditions as to voya Zinc', 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-five years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding,policies-of tliiw clas3-as security,
Triay always knott-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 where policies
are held as collateral security.
It s only necessary to add that, ass consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallengcable on any prouud
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.

The PRUDEN TIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un•
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
businPt4s of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
