M.P.
It has been the object of this Institution to combine the advan-
tages and to remedy the defects of other Establishments; and
greater benefits are secured to the public, both in the Life and
Fire Departments, than have been offered by any other Society.
In the Life Department, four-fifths (or IA per cent.) of the esti.
mated profits will be added every seventh year, by way of bonus,
to the Policies effected for the whole term of life, on lives insured
under the age of fifty, or will be applied in reduction of future
annnal premiums, at the option of the Assured.
In the lire Department, an equal apportionment of four-fifths
(or SS per cent.) of the profits on Policies continued for seven
years, will be septennially allowed to persons who have paid
seven years' premium in a single sum, or by annual payments.
The remaining profits in both Departments will be transferred to
the Subscribed Capital, and preserved untouched to form a con-
tinually-increasing guarantee to the Assured.
A prompt payment of six years' premium entitles the Assured
to the benefit of a seven years' insurance.
All claims on the Society paid without deduction or discount,
and the Assured have the option of settling disputed claims by
Arbitration.
Parties by obtaining the settlement of a loss do not lose their
right to participate in the profits.
Persons Assuring their lives in this Office may cross the sea in
decked vessels between the Elbe and Brest without any extra
premium being required.
