The steadily increasing business of this Institution, affords the
most satisfactory evidence that the more the peculiar advantages
secured to its members become known, the more they are justly
appreciated and approved. The Directors, therefore, feel it to be
their duty to endeavour to extend the sphere of its usefulness as
widely as possible, by keeping the public attention directed to its
important benefits.
The distinguishing characteristic of this Establishment is its En-
tire Mutuality.
The Whole Profits will be equitably divided amongst all the As-
surers, who have the option to apply them to the reduction of tho
Premiums or to increase the sums assured.
The Acts of Parliament relating to Friendly Societies, under
which the Institution is enrolled, confer the important privileges of
Exemption from Stamp Duties, and permission to invest its funds
with the Commissioners of the National Debt, at a liberal rate of
interest, secure from loss by the fluctuation in the value of other
Government Securities. These privileges must, it is obvious, be
most valuable in aid of the accumulation of profits.
Amongst other advantages to Assurers it may be stated, that
every Assurer i 3 a Member, free from individual responsibility,
and entitled to attend and vote at the General Meetings of the So-
ciety.
No Member can be involved in legal expense, as should any dis-
pute arise, it must be settled by arbitrators appointed agreeably
with the aforesaid Acts of Parliament.
Assurers may secure the benefit of their policies to nominees
free of all expense.
Attendance at the Office in London daily, from Ten to Four,
and for the facility of Assurers in the country, Agents and Medics,
Referees are appointed in most of the principal towns.

In this Office Assurers for the whole term of life have the
option, as most accords with their views and circumstances, either
of securing a certain sum at death at a low rate of Premium ; or of
participating in 34 of the nett profits of the Company on paying an
increased rate of Premium.
The following are the annual Premiums for the assurance of 1001.

A division of the nett profits will take place quinquennially.
Bonuses accrue on all beneficial policies on which three annual pre-
miums shall have been paid, at the time a division occurs; and the
holders of such Policies have the option either of receiving their
bonuses in a present sum, or of having them applied in augmenta-
tion of their Policies, or in reduction of their future Premiums.
Assurers on the non-bonus system may contract to pay their
Premiums either in one sum, in a given number of payments, in
annual, half-yearly, or quarterly payments, or in any other way
most suitable to their convenience.
Officers in the Army and Navy, when in active service, Persons
afflicted with chronic and other diseases, and such as are going
beyond the limits of Europe, are also Assured at moderate Rates.
Prospectuses, and all requisite information, may be obtained at
tke Office. Proposals can be passed daily.

Since which period, its further increase has been proportionally
rapid.
Assurances which may now be opened will rateably participate,
agreeably to the Laws of the Society, in the additions to be declared
at the ensuing Periodical Investigation.
The THIRD PERIODICAL INVESTIGATION takes place
at 31st December instant, when ADDITIONS by way of BONUS
will be DECLARED to ALL ASSURANCES OPENED PRE-
VIOUS TO THAT DATE, in terms of, and under the Limita-
tions contained in the Articles of Constitution and Laws of the
Society.
These additions, when declared, are added to and incorporated
with the original Assurances, and all future additions, whether re-
trospectively or prospectively, are computed, not on the original,
but on the accumulated amount of the Assurance. As it is pro-
bable that on this, as on former similar occasions, the desire to par-
ticipate in these benefits will very largely increase the number of
proposals for Assurance which will be made to the Society previous
to the closing of the books for the current year, it will greatly fa-
cilitate the duties of the officers of the Society, and at the various
Branches throughout the country, that parties intending to propose
Assurance do so with as little delay as possible, in order to prevent
the inconvenience which the delaying of them till the latest possible
moment at which they can be received or carried through, con-
sistently with the Society's regulations, has given rise to in former
occasions.

Parties wishing to effect Assurances, so as best to meet any par-
ticular contingency, or effect any specific object, will receive the
requisite information, and have the suitable form of Proposal trans-
mitted to them ; and all official communications of this nature are
considered strictly confidential.
Copies of the Prospectus—Forms of Proposal—and every neces-
sary information—may be obtained on application at the Society's
