This is a " Premitmt Society,' guarded by a temporary t 'atonal,
or precautionary Fund. to be paid off as *too as an adequate sur-
p.us Capital is accumulated from the Pretiduata; Cuts affording to
the assured all the security, in the fist instance. which the sub-
scribed Capital of a Proprietary Corneany can offer, without per-
mitting the Subscribers to remain a permanent incumbrance on the
Society—appropriating its profits, and endangering its stability.
Security and Economy constitute the excellence of a Life insti-
tution, and those objects are to be best efficted by taking a small
excess of Premium beyond die true risk, anti accumulating it for
the benefit and security of the Assured, to be returnable to them
to the way of bonus. Both the rate of Mortality anti the rate of in-
terest are subject to variations; ars4 the Premiums charged in
every office ought always to exceed the true value of the rinks
by the greatest probable variations of.those rates. Hence, under
ordinary circumstances, a Surplus Fuld will alwats be accumulated
beyond the amount necessary to provide for the claims. In a
Premium Society the danger of an iocautious or unequal division
of this surplus is effectually guarded against, by reason that die
Fonds anti Officers of the Society are under the absolute control
of the persons assured ; whereas, inn Proprietary Company, the
Shareholders not only enrich thenuselves, at the expense of the
Polity Holders, but may put in jzoperdy the very sum assured, by
an improvident division of that surplus fund, which has been ac-
cumulated out of the Premiums paid by the assured, and which
ought to be reserved for their security.
ADVANTAGES EX I.
TION
LAY BELONGING TO TUTS
INSTIT.
Premiums for young and middle-aged lives lower than in any
office in England; payable annually, half-yearly, or quarterly, or
for a limited nutuber of years only. -
A tem sry precluitonssy.Caiiel of 200,0061., which wjU be
Witmer above visited.
Threc-fourtits of the profits divided amongst the assured, until
the Shareholders are paid off, and thenceforth the entire profits,
by additions to their policies, with interest themn, in reduction
of the premiums.
The Trustees sign every policy, and give the assured an imme-
diate rentetly against the fund itself.
On the back of every policy for the whole term of life, is a scale
of its true value from year to year, at which price the Society con-
tract to purchase it, or to lend two-thirds thereof to the holder,
to enable him 'to continue the future premiums without incon-
venience.
The assured having the Contract of the Trustees to purchase
policies, may reduce the annual premiums at pleasure. For in-
stance, by taking ten policies of lOW. each, instead of one of 1,0001.
whenever a bonus of 1101. is added to the gross amount, the as-
sured by selling one policy to the Society will receive its true value,
and reduce his premium one-tenth, without diminishing the 1,01.10/.
Thus, he may either apply the bonus in augmentation of the sum
insured, or in reduction of his future premiums.
There arc no agents to the Institution, and consequently the
Commissions which would be allowed to them are properly de-
ducted from the premiums of the assured.
A Physician or Consulting Surgeon ofeminence in every principal
town is attached to the Society.
Proposals from the country to be sent to the Resident Director,
who will give all proper information, to save the necessity of per-
sona attendance before the Board.
Notice •is hereby given, that an Extraordinary GENERAL
COURT will be held at the house of the Society, on FRIDAY,
July 21, at 1 o'clock precisely, to consider of the propriety of re-
lieving the Senior Auditor of this Society from the disqualification
he labours under, by reason of his being a Director of the Asylum
Assurance Company. to be elected a Director of this Society.
