ASY MODE OF SECURING THE BONUS ON EQUI-

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,

Established by Act of Parliament, for Assurances of Lives and
Survivorships, and likewise for the Granting and Purchasing of
Annuities.

The accommodation now offered to the public by the following
condition will be found particularly convenient and well worthy the
serious consideration of parties who may wish to secure to their
families the bonus expected on equitable policies, Jan. 1,1840, and,
by adopting it, not only will that object be obtained, but they may
avail themselves of continuing the insurance for the remainder of
life, at the premium of their present age, whatever may be their
state of health, after having received the bonus of the Equitable :
" When an insurance Is for life half the premium may remain
unpaid for five years at interest, to be deducted eventually from the
policy or paid off at convenience it being perfectly understood that
if the party discontinues the insurances the Company have no claim
on him for the portion of the premium that is unpaid."
Thus a gentleman of 45 may be insured for the whole period of
life at 31. 10s. 6(1. per cent., and by paying 11. 15s. 3d. for the first
4ve years, he may discontinue his insurance as soon as he has re-
ceived the bonus of the Equitable, or may remain insured for life as
above explained.
This Company grants liberal Annuities upon ages of 65 and up-
;iWalls, to parties themselves, but not assignable, and every informa-
on will be afforded on personal application at the office, or by
