THE OBJECTS MOST TO BE DESIRED IN
EFFECG A LIFE ASSURANCE.
These are, PERFECTTINSECURITY and the LARGEST BENE-
FITS in proportion to the Contributions paid. They are both
fully attained in the SCOTTISH EQUITABLE LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY, which is now of Twenty-four Years' standing,
and possesses ACCUMULATED FUNDS, arising from the Con-
tributions of Members only, to the amount of .4'910,845, and has
an ANNUAL REVENUE of £163,394.
The MUTUAL PRINCIPLE being adopted, the entire Sur-
pluses or "Profits," as ascertained Triennially, are allocated in
addition to the sums Assured, and they present a flattering pros-
pect to the Members. For example, the sum now payable on a
Policy for £l,OOO, effected in 1831, is .41,538 6a. 9d., being a
return of &vent, -one per cent, on the Premiums paid on Middle-
aged Lives, and Policies effected in later years are similarly in-
creased.
THE NEXT TRIENNIAL DIVISION OF PROFITS will take
place at Ist March, 1856, and Policies effected previously will re-
ceive One Year's additional Bonus ore those opened after that
date. ROBERT CHRISTIE, Manager.
