These aions are stated for the sake of distinctness, as in refer-
ence to a Policy of 5,000/., being the maximum risk taken on any
single life. The results, for Policies, of smaller amount., are pro-
eisole proportional ; thus, for 2,500/. Policies, they are one-half,
and for 1,0001. Policies, one-fifth of the above amount, and so on.
During the early years of the Society, no risks so large as 5,000/.
were taken on single lives, although now, and for many years past,
they have been freely taken on select lives.
No Life Office in Great Britain, since the EQUITABLE of
LONDON enacted its restricting Bye-Law of 1816, has been ena-
bled to afford equal advantages to the Assured.
