Assurances which nay 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 taker 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 er 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 gi eatly fa-
cilitate the duties of the officers of the Society, and at the varieus
Branches throughout the country, that parties intending to propose
Assurance do so with as little delay as possible, in order to prevent
tke 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 •n 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 Merit-lotion—may be obtained on application at the gooiety's
