from bi public in propur ion to their ufclul

pany it confide red by m my a* coming under this de
n turn nation ; it bting incorporated for the benevolent
purpofc 4>f guard ag its affociatct againft lofles of build
ings by fire, whether the lame fliould happ n by acci
dei.ti lightning, civil commotion, or foreign iuv«Gon,
the Prclioeut and Directors, therefore, have tbought
fr 'per to lay before the pnhlic, its principles, anfl gen
eral (fate of its luttds, to induce all perlons owning
houfes or other buildings within the Commonwealth,
to become Members of the fame, and avail tliemfclves
of its advantages. l!y a mu'ual infurance vve bear one
asotlier'a burthen*. The Iota Inflamed by one falls on
the company ; whereas individuals, heretofore, were
obliged, in cafe of Ipis by fire, to apply to their part cu
lar friends, and to the benevolence of the public lor
alii (lance ; but in the prefent cafe an opportunity pre
lent* of having their prnpei ty fccurcd upon the only
juft prip.iptis of infurance, by cafting into the funds
of the fociety a mi't equal to the hatard only, and no
more. Conflagrations are generallymore alarming,and
far more diftrerting to mankind than Ioffes at fea ; and
the rcafou is obvious. in the former cafe liit c or no
provifion ha> been made in this country for the pro
tection of properly in c.ifTof tire, w hereas in the latter
it it almnft untvcrlal. Under this coufideration, it is
to he hoped, that thofr foci«ties, who have been eftab
litlicd for the purpof of ciilaraiua their ufefutiier* to
wards mankind, as well a thofc geniltmcn, who have
been in ihe habit of iifuing policies for the generous
delign of iufurinj; on buildings, will fo far extend the if
candor towaul* this Company as to fuppole that their
motives ot pet^niary coufideration are not fo much
attached™ the fmaligain n the difference of the pre
mium at to add another iaftibutton, anti confer another
opDortunirv on the citiaeus of this Commonwealth, f»>r
fecurity and happmels
The rates of premium are from 35
1 « 75 cents on one hundred dollars, governed by the
judgment of the Tru#e«. which depend* on the mate
rials of which the houl'e i» huilt, the m,nuer of occu
pying it, and the relative tituatlon of the lame as to
other buildings
Although the Policies nreiliued tor
feven yearn, it operates for any left time; a* povfioa
is made, that when the proputy infu cd lhall he
alienated by dca h, falc. dr by any other means, the
artured may fill render his policy at the othre, and re
ceive a fum not exceeding his depofit money.
The fees arifing from the policies,
transfers, endotfements, forfeits and interell accruing
thereon, Will, in the whole time (in all probability) pay
theexpcnce of Office; in which cafe nothing can he
tak.cn from the funds, but abfo ute Ioffes by lire. If
fortunately no lufs happens, the property with filtered
reverts back to rhe perfon who paid it (except his
proportion of the referved funds) as the whole funds
cf the company, are placed in the funded flocks of the
United States; the intereft of which is received quar.
terlv, put into principal, and accumulates much be
yond compound intereft.
The calculations arc made upon the
whole number of building*, confirmed by fire in Bofton
for the the term of forty years paft, taken from the
records of the Hiftorical Society, commencing in 1759,
and of count it include* the great fire of 17 60 1 from
which, and a comparifon with the inftitutions of the
fame nature in Kngl.mJ, Virginia, JVvteywl, &c. it cl arly
appear*, that the fund* are adequate to fuppoi t the lof*
el more thau ftxteen houfes annually, «f 1600 dollar*
value each But, in order to make each individual of
the company, entirely fatisfied of his indemnity in cale
of lots by a very great conflagr ftion ; provilion is made,
that each member lhall be affeffed a lum (in propo.
tiou) to make good fucli lots ; but not in any event
to exceed two dollar* for one, paid as premium and dc
P fIt is now thirteen months ftnee the
rifoues commenced, without any lots whatever There
is now 940,000 dollars inlurrd in the Office, one fifth
of which is in the country. The funds are already
xtl'peftable and mcreafing rapidly.
