This Institution is empowered by a Spe-cial °et of Parlia-
ment, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life As-
surance, in their fullest extent, to Poli • olders, and to pre-
sent greater facilities and accommod than are usually of-
fered by other Offices. The decided, uperiority of its plan,
and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved
incontestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success.
ASSURANCES MAY EITHER BE EFFECTED BY
PARTIES ON THEIR OWN LIVES, OR BY PARTIES
INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF
OTHERS.

The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to
create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other
means be realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at
the age of thirty, who, by the payment of 5/. 3s. 4d. to the
Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos-
sessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub-
ject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment
quarterly during the remainder of his life.--a condition which
may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS
weekly in his expenditure. Miss, by the exertion of a very
slight degree of economy—such, indeed, as can scarcely be felt
as an inconvenience, he may at on.ce realise a capital of 1,000!.,
which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think
proper.

A Board of Directors in attendance daily at Two o'clock.

Detailed Prospectuses, and every requisite information as to
le mode of effecting Assurances, may be obtained at the Office.
PETER AIORRIS ON, Resident Director.
A liberal Commission allowed to Solicitors and Agents.
