ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London,
E.C. Established 1848.
Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's.
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, i n; no 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 came
time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when oven a de-
fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every pi eminm 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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-
ng either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac-
cording tl 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 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 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. Tho longest
Lterm provided -for is 1v0..., 41-4,,rears, and the shortest
lire- years, ...hewn by the Tables. Thus, b....ker.. credi-
' tors, and others holding policies of thi-' class as security-,
r 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 unforfoitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo on any ground
whatever. They may therefore bo aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new.
business of any office in the Kingdom. !SPECIAL

We learn from Triibner's Record that the health
of Mr. Charles G. Leland having been nearly restored by
the use of the Spa Waters, a new instalment of the Breit-
mann Ballads may be very soon expected. The principal
poem in it will be entitled Hans Breitmann in Churcb,"
based on fact in all its incidents. Competent judges, Ame-
rican as well as English, who 'have seen the manuscript,
declare it to be as good, if not better, than anything
which has ever come from Mr. Leland's pen. The
success of the Breittmann ballads continues unabated in
England as well as in America. Mr. Robert Craig, an ex-
cellent actor, has been giving readings from them in diffe-
rent places of the United States. Indeed the main cause
of the popularity of these ballads must be sought for in their
truthfulness to nature. This bas been conceded over and
over again by the leading critics on both continents. In
the United States, Lowell and Holmes have expressed
their cordial approval of the ballads, and are among their
most enthusiastic readers.
