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.
1. A Life Assurance may be effected either by One Payment, 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 Lite A<surance may be effreted on the life of another, on
Joint Lives or Stirvivorships.
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,
ac-ordin4 to climate.

In the event of the Assured (when on the Withdrawal System)
not r,quiring to continue the Polic t, on its surrender one-half the
annual payments will tie returned by w.ty of purchase of his interest
therein. By this m. any, apprehension of great pecuniary loss and
doubt as to the intrinsic transferable value of each Policy is rr-
moved. its cash va ue being fixed and determined beforehand be the
Society at one-half the annual premiums paid thereon : a vast class
of s ciety will thereby be admitted; and ever;; indivi ual, elide
steadily pursoln, one oWect—a provision f'r his family at death—
will have, by the plan of thk Society, a door open to his savings,
which will never be closed avainst his wants or his use.
