pal Offices in the STR.NND and CORNHILL, LONDON,
and by AGENTS in EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, DUBLIN,
and the principal TOWNS of the UNITED KINGDOMS, con-
tinue to grant Insurances against FIRE, on the Terms and Con-
ditions of their printed Proposals, delivered gratis.
The Directors have great pleasure in refiesting that by their
wiertions and plans, the benefits and principles of Insurance are
more generally felt and understood ; and they trust that they have
a claim for preference with the Public, for the liberal conduct
they have evinced in all their trans. ions. Premiums for In-
surance renewable at Lady Day, must be paid on or before the
9th day of April next.
Surveys within the Bills of Mortality, when considered nem*.
sup, have always been made by this Office, without any Charge
to the Insured. Fees have never been permitted to be taken ih
any case or under any pretence whatever. Commission to
Broker. on Shipping and Foreign Insurances also, have always
been allowed. Endorsements of Alteration or Removal entered
without Fee.
Engines of the best construction, and Firemen of activity and
undoubted integrity, (whose exertions have been acknowledged)
have from the Establishment of the Office in 1799, been provided
by the BRITISH FIRE-OFTICE to attend at Fires.
The Terms and Conditions of Insurance as stated in the Poli-
des, are defined with perspicuity, plainness and precision, so as
to prevent the misunderstandings and disputes dependent upon
ill-digested, unadvised, and iriorant KIDS, equally baneful to
the Proprietors and those Insuring.
