THE PROVIDENT LIFE-OFFICE- was the ori-
ginal Office which effected Insurances upon the principle
of combining the security of an adequate permanent Capital (in
Mclitibn to the fluctuating Funds arising front the Premiums)
with the beneficial rule of returning, at stated periods, the sur-
pin of the Annual Premiums to the Contributors, after paying
loses and expenses. The importance of this improvement is
acknowledged by extraordinary public approbation, and by the
nemerous imitations of it, which new Offices have lately offered,
and which older' ones have adopted, invkanging their constitu-
tion. The principle is of chief value, because as it yields, by
the specific sums insured, and the return of the surplus, thin fut.
lest value for the deposits, persons have no reasonable motive for
venturing on the lure of reduced and insufficient premiums, which
hat led to such frequent instances of disappointment and ruin.
Bonuses of £l3 Bs. and .M 6 Ifts. per cent. have been divided
drug the last fourteen years.
Permission is granted to all persons whose lives aft; insured at
this Office (not being mariners in the exercise of their proles-
siso),to pass by sea in whole-decked vessels or steanr-boats from
one part of the United Kingdom to another, and also in time of
ram from British to the Foreign Ports between the Terri and
Brest inclusive, without License and extra Premium, as is gene-
:ay required.
Military Men insured at this Office are • not charged with any
additional Premium, unless called into actual service.
No Admission Fees are required, not is any charge made for
Policies, except the Stamp Duty.
Advantages thus extensive and substantial having been con-
saintly realised during a period of seventeen years, under the
plan and management of this Office, the Public will readily sp-
ry:slate the difference between the value of Policies issued by
this Office and by others.
Agents are appointed in. all.the principal. Towns. •
