The Investment of Money with this Association secures equal advantages to the Savings of the Provident and the Capital of the Affluent , and affords to both the means of realising the highest rate of Interest yielded by first-class securities , in which alone the Funds are employed . The constant demand for advances upon securities of that peculiar class , which are offered almost exclusively to Life Assurance Companies , such as Reversions , Life Interests , &c , enables the Board of Management to employ Capital on more advantageous terms and at higher rates of Interest than could otherwise , with equal safety , be obtained . The present rate of Interest is Jive per cent , per annum , and this rate will continue to be paid so long as the Assurance department finds the same safe and profitable employment for money . Interest pay able half-yearly in January and July . Money intended for Investment is received daily between the hours of 10 and 4 o ' clock , at the Offices of the Association . Immediate Annuities granted , and the business of Life Assurance in all its branches , transacted , on highly advantageous terms .

Just pubh ' shed , price 3 s ., by post free , rpHE THREADS OF A STORM SAIL . X By W . BLANCHARD JERROLD . Written at the suggestion of the Directors of the Birkbeck Life Assurance Company . "In a very happy aud very lively manner , through an allegory which is pretty in itself and sustained with much literary art , Mr . Jerrold has brought out the nature of Life Assurance , and the advantages which it offers to the humbler classes . In a style at once light and earnest , and with turns of thought and touches of poetry and humour that continually reminds us of the name he bears , Mr . W . B . Jerrold traces the common lot of the working man in our large towns from the cradle to the grave : and then , going briefly over the several philanthropic and benevolent schemes already before the public , for the amelioration of this ' common lot , ' he arrives , by a chain ot reasoning , at the indisputable conclusion that these several schemes do not meet all the conditions of the case . . ^ . Athenceum , April 23 , 1853 . "It is a very graceful literary effort , and succeeds in taking from the subject that dryness hitherto attached , and giving to it a pleasant , popular appearance . If there be any fault in the book , it is that it is too literary , too complete , as the happy composition of a practised writer . " ¦ _ ¦ Civil Service Gazette , April 16 , 1853 . - Published at the Birkbeck Life Assurance Company ' s Office , 8 , Moorgate Street ; and may be had of all Booksellers .
