This Institution is empowered by a special Act of Parliament, and is so
constituted as to afford the benefits of Life Assurance in their fullest
extent to Policy-holders, and to present greater facilities and
accommodation than are usually offered by other Companies.
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 realized. Take,
for instance, the case of a person at the age of Thirty, who, by the
payment of 5_l._ 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can
become at once possessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to
1,000_l._, subject 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--such indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he
may at once realise a capital of 1,000_l._, which he can bequeath or
dispose of in any way he may think proper.
A Table of Decreasing Rates of Premium on a novel and remarkable plan;
the Policy-holder having the option of discontinuing the payment of all
further Premiums after Twenty, Fifteen, Ten, and even Five years; and
the Policy still remaining in force--in the first case, for the full
amount originally assured; and in either of the three other cases, for a
portion of the same according to a fixed and equitable scale endorsed
upon the Policy.
Increasing Rates of Premium on a new and remarkable plan for securing
Loans or Debts; a less immediate payment being required on a Policy for
the whole term of Life than in any other Office
