BsoLuTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CIIALLENGE.kBLE, igsued 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 bo 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-
eialls 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 das...ease, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of tha premium. a fixed sum in
respect of every pterniutn paid, ly:aring the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
miums actually paid may hear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to be paid.
Besides this important alvantafze, every policy will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the discontinuance of the assurance.

Thy ass-urel will thus always have the option of retain-
ing either en ascertained fiszd sum payable at d•cea::e,
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, au3 rendering unnecessary any
future reference to the Company on these points, as is the
case with ordinary assurances.
Creditors asaunng 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, 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,
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, es shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this cuss as security,
may always know the utmost. amount they may be called
upon to advance so as to myth:Wu the full benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of great importance where plEcies
are held as collateral security.

It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence► of the
policies under these Wiles belng unforfeitablo awl uncon-
ditional, they will also he nncb:fllt•ngeable on any ground
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Seenrity Policies.

sesses an ineorne of £215,000 a year Its position is un.

business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
