The Directors beg to remind their friends whose premiums
become due at Midsummer, that no extra charge is made at this
office for the transfer of policies, and that they will be rated
on terms peculiarly favourable to parties insuring.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.
While this Society enables a person to provide for his family
after his death, it also affords the power of making provision for
himself during life, by granting annuities, either immediate,
deferred, or survivorship.
Every member assured for the whole term of life, whose
policy shall have existed three years, will be entitled to a pro-
portionate share of the quinquennial profits, which may be ap-
plied either by additions to their respective policies, or in re-
duction of the premiums thereafter to become payable.
Assurers may pay their premiums in any way most suitable
to their circumstances, either quarterly, half-yearly, or an-
ually, and one-half the premium may, if required, remain on in-
terest at 5 per cent. for five years,
N.B.—A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical
officer, sit at the Company's house every Tuesday, from
Twelve to Two o'clock, to grant Assurances, but one Director
is daily in attendance to render every facility to these to whom
despatch may be an object.

The following are among the advantages of this Society.
Ist, The security of an ample Assurance Fund, besides the
subscribed Capital.
2dly, For young and middle-aged lives the Lowest Rates of
Premiums that entitle the assured to participate in the profits.
3dly, Three-fourths of the profits divided every fifth year
among those who have been assured four years on the equal
scale of premiums. The bonus declared in 1834 averaged 161.
per cent. on the premiums then paid ; and the bonus awarded
in 1 839, on the average, is equal to 311. per cent. on the pre-
miums received during the last five years.
4thly. Assurers may have the bonus applied to increase the
sums assured, or in reduction of future premiums, either for
the remainder of life, or for the next five years only.
sthly, Policies granted without any charge to the assured be-
yond the stamp duty.
6thly, An option given to Assurers on the increasing scale of
rates after the lapse of any number of years to commute the fu-
ture increasing premium by an equivalen equal annual one for
the remainder of life, and thereafter to participate in the profits.
The same advantages are appiicable to assurers on the decreas-
ing scale of rates.
7thly, Policies on the lives of parties dying by suicide, duel-
ling, or by the hands of justice, not void as respects the inte-
rests of persons to whom they may have been legally assigned.
Bthly, No extra charge for residence in any part of Europe,
nor for proceeding to any port (in a decked, sailing, or steam
vessel) between Brest and the Elbe. Licenses are granted to
go to any Dart of the world upon terms proportionate to the risks.
9thly, Whole-life Policies on the equal scale of premium pur-
chaseable after four years. Lapsed Policies revived on favour-
able terms to the assured. _

All assurances effected on the equal scale of rates during the
year 1639 will participate in the next division of profits.
