THE PROVIDENT LIFE-OFFICE was the ori-
giaal Office which effected Insurances upon the principle
of combining the security of an adequate permanent Capital (in
addition to the fluctuating Funds arising from the Premiums)
with the beneficial rule of returning, at stated periods, the sur-
plus of the Annual Premiums to the Contributors, after paying
ND ies and expenses. The importance of this improvement is
acknowledged by extraordinary public approbation, and by the
numerous imitations of it, which new Offices have lately offeredf
and which older ones have adopted, in changing their constitu-
dons. The principle is of chief value, becatrat as it yields, by
the specific sums insured, and the return of the surplus, the ful-
lest value for the deposits, persons have tin re:isonahle motive for
• ',inuring on the lure of reduced and insufficient premiums, which
has led to such frequent instances of disappointment and ruin.
Bonuses of £l3 Bs. and .026 1:3. per cent. have been divided
atafti the last fourteen years.

Permission is granted to all persons whose lives are insured'at
this Office (uot being mariners in the exercise of their profes-
sien),to pass by sea in whole-decked vessels or steam-boats from
ei* Oh of the United Kingdom to another, add also in time of
tiacv from British to the Foreign Ports between the Texel and
Brest irclusire, without License and extra Presinoin, as is gene-
rey fellows&

3111ltaty Men humid at this Office are not charged with any
zdditiunal Premium, unless called into actual se: vice.
Admission Fees are required, nor is any charge made for
Poretes, except the Stamp I)ety.
Advantages thus extensive and substantial having been con-
:Malady realised during a period of seventeen years, under the
;Ain and management of this Office, the Public will readily ap-
preeate the ditierence between the value of POlicies issued by
thil Office and by others.
Agents are appointed in ill the principal Towns.
