PROSPECTUS;
The London and Lancashire Insurance Company is estab-
lished for the purpose of extending to Liverpool, as well as to
London and elsewhere, that addition to the facilities for fire in-
a urances which was recently demanded for the metropolis,and
which the extraordinary increase in the commerce of Liver-
pool constitutes an urgent necessity. In so doing the Direc-
tors propose to take advantage of the experience of existing
institutions, to introduce new principles of practical utility.
and, In addition, so to construct the institution as to afford
the greatest possible benefits to the, shareholders, insurers,
and to the public generally, consistent with the well-being of
all concerned. The Directors do not profess to transact
business at lower rates than those ascertained by experience
and profittive ; but having thus provided for the security
bleness of the business transactions of the office,
they extend the mutual principle to fire insurance, and make
the holders of fire policies participators in the profits, atter
appropriating a sufficient sum for a reserve fund. When the
certainty and extent of success that has attended every well-
managed fire office are considered, it would appear that the
present is a period when new institutions, based on the experi-
,ence of time and observation, should be promoted tor and
supported by the public generally, for the puse of pre-
venting monopoly, on the one hand, and for the development
and progression of principle on the other.
In 1841 the total sum in Great Britain insured against fire
was seven hundred and thirty-eight millions sterling; in
1811 it had increased to eight hundred and fifty-eight millions
eight hundred thousand ; and in 1861 it is estimated to have
advanced to twelve hundred millions, or to one-third more
than the amount of the National Debt.

In the course of 20 years, therefore, the field occupied by
Fire Insurance widened at the rate of £23,000,000 per annum.
As an illustration of this increase it may be mentioned
that, in London alone, the inhabited houses which in 1851
numbereo 305,913, had in 1861 increased to 362,890, showing
an addition in ten years of no less than 50,957 houses, or an
average increase of 5,695 houses per annum.
But, although the value of property protected is of vast
amount, the value remaining unprotected far exceeds it ; and
the difference between insured and uninsured is constantly
augmenting.

The enormous business of Fire Insurance in the United
Kingdom is confined to so few as fifty-two offices, of which
two are in Ireland, six in Scotland, twenty-one in English
country towns, and twenty-three in London. •
The relative smallness of this number and the vast amount
of insurance committed to each, on the average not less in
value than £22,000,000, has led in some cases to excessive or
capricious charges, want of confidence, and to a general les-
sening of the practice of insurance.
Considerations of this description, in connection with the
promised support of a very large number of the most influen-
tial merchants in London and Liverpool, have led to the for-
mation of the " London and Lancashire Fire Insurance
Company."
Application for shares in the form annexed, may be
made to A. 11. Gunn, Esq., 79, Lombard-street, Lon-
don, and 21, Water-street, Liverpool ; to the Secretary,
H. E. Warren, Esq. ; or to the Brokers, George Bur—
nand, Esq., 69, Lombard-street, Messrs. Froom Brothers,
Change-alley, Cornhill, London, and Messrs. Thos. Tinley
and Sons, Orange-court, Liverpool ; but -no application will
be taken into consideration unless a deposit of £1 per share
be paid into the Company's bankers, to be allowed in pay-
ment of the first call, or returned in the event of shares
not being allotted.
