INCORPORATED PURSUANT TO ACT OF PARLIAMENT,

At the pres'nt day, when Railway travelling has become almost
universal, protection against the pecuniary loss to which the families
of sufferers from the accidents incidental to it are exposed, is one of
the requirements of the age. To mcet this general feeling, this Society
affords to all persons, of whatever class, travelling by Railway in
Great Britain and Ireland, the opportunity of insuring against loss of
life by accident whilst so travelling, at the moderate premium of
10s. per cent., in one single payment, fer the whole period of life,
thereby rendering unnecessary the payment of Annual Premiums, as
in ordinary Life Assurance. _ _

EXAMPLE.—A person may by one single payment of M. assure to
his family or ethers the sum of 1,0001., to be paid in the event of his
osing hie life by railway travelling in Great Britain or Ireland.
