This Institution was originally established under a different title
in the year 1839, on the plan of admitting the assured to participate
in four-fifths only of the profits ; but the Society has since been re-
modeled so as to become a strictly " Mutual Association."
The whole of the funds and property belong to, and are accumu-
lated for the exclusive benefit of the assured.
The profits are divided annually among 'the policy-holders, and
applied in reduction of the current year's premium ; thus constant _
ing, in effect, an immediate cash payment to the assured.
Half-credit policies are granted on terms unusually favourable to
the holders, the amount for which credit is given being gradually li-
quidated out of the profits.
Two Tables of Rates have been computed ; one entitling the as-
sured to participate in the profits after pat ment of five annual pre-
miums ; the other considerably lower, in which the period of pul'
cipation is deferred two years longer : the premium ultimately pay;
ab'e ny the assured is, however, precisely the same, whichever Table
of Rates may in the first instance be selected.
General meetings of the members are held annually, to whom full
and complete statements of the affairs and funds of the Society are
submitted, and by whom the division of the profits are from time to
time declared.
At the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th April last, 'a di-
vidend of 30 per cent. upon the current year's premium was awarded
to all members who had made the requisite numoer of payments on
their respective policies.
By order of the Board of Directors,

London, May 1, 1852
The "Britannia Mutual Life Association" is altogether dis-
tinct from, and independent of, the Proprietary Office transacting
business under the name of the " Britannia Life Assurance Com-
pany," The only connexion between the two establishments is, that
their affairs are conducted on the s tme premises and by the same
officers, by which means the entire disbursements of the Mutual
Association are reduced to a small per ccntage on the receipts.
