The bsrporation has effected Life Assurances for a period of more
than 125 years,• its first policy having been issued on:the 7th of
June, 1721. _

The extent of its business and connexions, the security afforded
by its large capital, its long 'standing, its advantages to Assurers, and
the liberality of its transactions, strongly recommend it to the public.
_ _

Two-thirds of the gross profits are awarded to the assured, and
the expenses of managing the Life Department are not, as is usual,
taken from the premium fund, but are defrayed by the Corporation
out of their one-third share of the profits, thus giving to the As-
sured all the advantages of Mutual Assurance, without liability
of partnership, and the security of an ancient and opulent Cor-
poration.
Its tables have been formed on the lowest scale, to meet the varied
views of Assurers, by affording to them the option of the following
several advantages :—Firstly, of participating in the profits of the
Corporation by abatements from annual •preruiams ; or, secondly, by
making additions to the sums assured by way of bonus payable at
death; or; thirdly, by a money payment at the division of profits in
every fifth Year, whilst item those who desire to limit their assu-
rances to a given sum without participation in profits, the lowest
possible rate of premium is required, as will be evinced by tables ex-
pressly prepared for the Corporation, which may be had on applica-
tion at their offices, and which have been constructed for meeting
the various wants of Assurers, and every risk to which protection
by assurance can be extended.
The bonuses made to Assurers have at some of the periods of di-
vision been upwards of 50 per cent., and for three of the lowest
years the average bonus has been equal to from 24% to 28 per cent.,
or from 3 to 3% per cent. per annum on the sum assured, varying
according to the age of the life.
