[«. WHAT IS LIFE ASSURANCE? 1. It is the exercise of prudence— of benevolence. 2. It secures independence — domestic happiness to the widow and orphan. 3. It is more efficacious in its operation, as regards the moral and domestic comfort of the people, and in its tendency to reduce taxation, by its reduction of pauperism, and possibly of crime, than the legislation of our wisest statesmen, and, if universally adopted, woulifl. be a national blessing. 4. It affords to persons of every class, and in every station of life, the means to avoid much future misery to their families, aud to render them independent of public or private charity. 5. It is a scheme by which any sum of money may be secured at death, whenever that event may take place, or to be received at any given age of the life assured.
