or from env other cause whatever; while at the saute
time it absolutely guarantees at dc,!ease, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the promium. a fixed sum in
respect of every premium paid. b• acing the same proper-
tine to the total amount assured as the number of prr-
mionns actually paid may bear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to Le.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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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 u-illthus always have the option of retain-
ing either an asentained 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 poiuts, 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 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 1.-ngest
term provided for is twenty-fore years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, hankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this chss as security,
may always know 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 is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitablo and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallongeable on any kronnd
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of .C 215,000 a year. Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now
business of any office in tho Kingdom. SPECIAL
