MARTIN T. SMITH, Esq., M.P., Deputy Chairman.
One-third of the Premium on Insurances of 5001. 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
501. and upwards on the security of Policies effected with this
Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired
an adequate value.
Four-fifths, or do per cent. of the profits are assigned to Poli-
cies every fifth year, and may be applied to increase the sum
assured, to an immediate payment in cash, or to the reduction
and ultimate extinction of future Premiums.
At the fifth appropriation of profits for the five years termi-
nating January 31, 1856, a reversionary bonus was declared of
11. 10s. per cent, on the sums insured, and subsisting additions
for every premium paid during the five years. This bonus, on
policies of the longest duration, exceeds 1:1. ss. per cent. per
annum on the original sums insured, and increases a policy of
1,0001. to 1,6381.
Proposals for Insurances may be made at the Chief Offices, as
above; at the Branch Office, 16, Pall-mall, London; or to any
of the Agents throughout the kingdom.

THE OBJECTS MOST TO BE DESIRED
IN EFFECTING A LIFE ASSURANCE.—These are,
Perfect Security and the Largest Benefits in proportion to the
Contributions paid. They are both fully attained in the
SCOTTISH EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
which is now of Twenty-sic years' stonding, and possesses
Accumulated Funds, arising from the contributions of Members
only, amounting to upwards ot One Million Sterling, and has au
Annual Revenue of upwards of 17t,0001.
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
prospect to the Members. For example: the sum now payable
on a Policy for 1,0001., effected in• 1831, is 1,5901. bs. Btl., being a
return of Seventy-one per Cent. on the premiums paid on
middle-aged lives, and Policies effected in later years are simi-
larly increased.
The NEXT TRIENNIAL DIVISION of PROFITS will take
place on let MARCH, 1859.
