COTTISH WIDOWS' FUND LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

Founded A.D. 1815.
' Constituted by Act of Parliament.
PRESIDENT.
The Right Hon. the EARL of ROSEBERRY, K.T.

The Society i; founded on the principles of ➢futual Contribution;
or, in other words, on the principle of appropriating the whole Profits
to the Assured.

The average amount of Insurances effected during the last twelve
years has been upwards of Half a Million sterling annually.
The Capital accumulated and invested now amounts to upwards of
2,070,0',01., and the Annual Revenue to upwards of 300,000/.
The BonulAdilition4 declared at the last periodical investigation
in December, 1345, were in the case of the older Policies and on the
original Sums insured, as follows :—The Retrospective Bonus up-
wards of 3 per cent. per annum, and the contingent Perspective
Bonus upwards of three and a half per cent. per annum.
The proportion of the. Profits allocated to each Member, may be
applied in any of the following ways, viz.:—
By Additions to the Original Sum Insured.
By Fn Immediate Payment of its Value in Money,—or
By an Equivalent Deduction from the future Annual Premiums.
The practical operation of the principles upon which the Society is
established, may be judged of from the fact, that in the event of the
death of a Member in the present year after payment of the yearly
premium,
If insured in any of the years from 1315 to 1819, for
every 1,000/. insured his representative would
receive •. •• £1,954 3 8
If insured in 1825 for 1,0001., they woula receive .. 1,550 18 10
If insured in 1830 for 1,0001., they would receive .. 1,445 13 6
And so on, proportionally, to the Members insured subsequently to
the year 1830, if the Policies be of five years' endurance.
Proposals completed before the Books are ' Closed for the current
year have the important advantage if a full year's standing over
those delayed till after that period.
Prospectuses, Forms of Proposal, Tables of Rates, and every in-
formation may be obtained at the Head Office, or at any of the to-
ciety's Agencies.
