This Institution is empowered by a Special Act of Parlia-
ment, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life As-
surance, in their fullest extent, to Policy-holders, and to pre-
sent greater facilities and accommodation than are asually of-
fered by other Offices. The decided superiority 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 he realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at
the age of thirty, who, by the payment of N. 3s. 4d. to the
Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos-
sessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub-
jee' 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. Thus, by the exertion of a very
slight degree of economy-,-sueli, indeed, as can scarcely be felt
as an inconvenience, he may at once realise a capital of 1,0001.,
which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way ho may think
proper.
