The principles upon which the business of this office is con-
ducted, is to afford temporary Loans to persons assuring their
lives with the Company, upon terms calculated with reference
to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the
security offered for their repayment. This mode of employing
the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for
augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatly in-
creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company
only. And this will be found one of the most valuable prin-
ciples of Assurance, on account of its capability of being ap-
plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As-
sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease.
Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in
the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Merchants,
Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, if
assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very
ing from Three Months to any other agreed period, Ut amounts
of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be
approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies
effected by parties with this Association, according to their
value at the time of the Loan.

The Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence
with caution, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this
comprehensive system of Loan in connexion with Life Assur-
ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of
the Association, but at the same time renaer the Institution
signally beneficial to the great mass of the community.
Having thus premised the General objects of the Associa-
tion, it is necessary briefly to state,
THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

A Deed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu-
lating the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re-
sponsibility of the Shareholder, until either an Act of Parlia-
ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled
and approved by Counsel.
The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred
Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 25/. each.
The Deposit is 2/. 10s. per Share; which, it is expected, will
be sufficient to obviate the necessity of any further call ; and
Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be al-
lowed upon all Deposits from the time of payment into the
Bank of the Association.

The Accounts shall be audited yearly.
The original Directors and Auditors shall remain in office

Directors.

A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened
