CLERICA_L, MEDICAL, and GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
13, St. James's-square, London, S.W.
Established 1821. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament
ONU MEETING, 1852.
The Report presented aS t a Meeting held on the 2d January
last, for the declaration of the Seventh Bonus, showed, in
evidence of the progress of the Society, that during the quin-
quennial period which terminated on the 30th of June, 1851,
New Assurances for a total sum of £1,486,370 had been
effected, being an increase of £62,215 on those of the previous
five years ; that
The Income had increased from £166,800 to £195,400 per
annum; that
The Assurance Fund had risen from £1,154,276 to
£1,422,191; and that a
Reversionary Addition to the Policies of £275,077 was then
made, as against £232,479 at the prior division.
In illustration of the results of the Division, that the
Reversionary Addition above named averaged 48 per cent., or
varied with the different ages from 33 to 89 per cent. on the
Premiums paid in the five years ; and that the
Cash Bonus averaged 21 per cent. on the like Premiums,
being amongst the largest ever declared by any office.
The Report explained at length the nature of the invest-
ments, and the bases of the calculations, the results of which,
as above shown, are eminently favourable.

The following are among the distinctive features of the
Society:—
Credit System.—On Policies for the whole of life, one half of
the Annual Premiums during the first five years may remain
on credit, and may either continue as a debt on the Policy, or
be paid off at any time.
Policies for Terms of Years may be effected at rates pecu-
liarly favourable to Assurers.
Invalid Lives may be assured at Premiums proportioned to
the increased risk.
Prompt Settlement of Claims.—Claims paid thirty days
after proof of death.
The Ac^ounts and Balance Sheets are at all times open to
the inspection of the Assured, or of persons proposing to
assure.
Tables of Rates, Forms of Proposal, the Report above men-
tioned, and a detailed account of the proceedinsy,s of the Bonus
Meeting, can be obtained from any of the Society's Agents,
or of

shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak-
ing a total of 871 persons saved from a watery grave during
the last two years.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society,
and other means, since its formation, is pds ot 12,2 0 ; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 704 Silver Medals, and

agemen, t for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough
