IMPERIAL LIFE INSU- 



X BANCE COMPANY. 



I. OLD BROAD STREET, LONDON. 

 Instituted 1820. 



SAMUEL HIBBERT, ESQ., Chairman. 



WILLIAM R. ROBINSON, ESQ., Deputy- 

 Chairman. 



The SCALE OF PREMIUMS adopted by 

 this Office will be found of a very moderate 

 character, but at the same time quite adequate 

 to the risk incurred. 



FOUR-FIFTHS, or 80 per cent, of the 

 Profits, are assigned to Policies every fifth 

 year, and may be applied to increase the sum 

 insured, to an immediate payment in cash, or 

 to the reduction and ultimate extinction of 

 future Premiums. 



ONE-THIRD of the Premium on Insur- 

 ances of 500?. and upwards, for the whole term 

 of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy, 

 to be paid off at convenience ; or the Directors 

 will lend sums of 507. and upwards, on the 

 security of Policies effected with this Company 

 for the whole term of life, when they have 

 acquired an adequate value. 



SECURITY. —Those who effect Insurances 

 with this Company are protected by its Sub- 

 scribed Capital of 750,0007., of which nearly 

 140,0007. is invested, from the risk incurred by 

 Members of Mutual Societies. 



The satisfactory financial condition of the 

 Company, exclusive of the Subscribed and In- 

 vested Capital, will be seen by the following 

 Statement : 

 On the 31st October, 1853, the sums 



Assured, including Bonus added, 



amounted to - £2,500,000 



The Premium Fund to more than - 800,000 

 And the Annual Income from the 



same source, to 109,000 



Insurances, without participation in Profits, 

 may be effected at reduced rates.

PIANOFORTES, 25 Guineas 

 each. — D'ALMAINE & CO., 20. Soho 

 Square (established a.d. 1785), sole manufac- 

 turers of the ROYAL PIANOFORTES, at 25 

 Guineas each. Every instrument warranted. 

 The peculiar advantages of these pianofortes 

 are best described in the following professional 

 testimonial, signed by the majority of the lead- 

 ing musicians of the age : — " We, the under- 

 signed members of the musical profession, 

 having carefully examined the Royal Piano- 

 fortes manufactured by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 MAINE & CO., have great pleasure in hearing 

 testimony to their merits and capabilities. It 

 appears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a richer and finer 

 tone, more elastic touch, or more equal tem- 

 perament, while the elegance of their construc- 

 tion renders them a handsome ornament for 

 the library, boudoir,ordrawing-room. (Signed)
