Total number of Policies granted from December, 1852, to
December, 1853-1,194. _ _

Under the following heads are briefly enumerated the leading
principles of this Society :
OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY.
I. A Life Assurance may be effected either by One Paymeut, or
by an Annual Premium.
2. Policies may be effected WITH or without the privilege of
withdrawing one-half of the Annual Payments. If with-
out this privilege, the rates are lower.
3. A Life Assurance may be effected on the life of another, on
Joint Lives or Survivorships.
4. Annuities, Immediate, Deferred, or Contingent, will be
granted; also Endowments for Children.
5. Naval and Military Men, not in active foreign service, as-
sure i without extra charge, and allowed to go abroad with-
out forfeiture of Policy, on payment of an extra Premium,
according to climate.

In the event of the Assured (when on the Withdrawal System)
not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half the
annual payments will be returned by way of purchase of his interest
therein. By this means, apprehension of great pecuniary loss and
doubt as to the intrinsic transferable value of each Policy is r,-
moved, its cash value being fixed and determined beforehand by the
Society at one-half the annual'premiunts paid thereon : a vast class
of society will thereby be admitted; and every individual, while
steadily pursuing one object—a provision for his family at death—
will have, by the plan of this Society, a door open to his savings,
which will never be closed against his wants or his use.

for Assurance, and every description of necessary Blank Forms, with
Tables of Rates, and full information on all points, furnished, on ap-
plication at 26, Cornhill, or at any of the Company's Agencies.
