THE BOOKS FOR THE rRESE,:T YEAR ON 15TH NOVEMBER,
WITH REFERENCE TO THE DIVE-HON OF PROFIJS

THE FUND to be Divided in 1855 will be
derived from the Profits which have arisen since 1850, and
those persons who effect Assurances at this time will secure TWO
YEAR' Participation in that Fund, while they will rank at the
division in 1860 for seven years' bonus; in 1865, for twelve years
bonus ; and • o on, increasing their claim at EACH PERIOD.
The principle on which the Profits of the Company are divided
similar to a TONTINE, and the Directors have been enabled to con-
fer very large benefits on the Policyholders at the form,r Divisions
of Profits in 1835, 1840, 1145. and 1850 ; some of the earliest Assur-
ances having been increased at the rate of 87/. Gs. for each 100/.

holds out greater advantages than the STAND ARD to persons who,
looking forward to long life, effect Assurances for the benefit of their
amilies.
The Company's large Accumulated Funds are invested on the
security of land and in Goverment securities. The Income is con-
siderably upwards of Two Hundred Thousand Pounds per annum ;
