ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THIS SOCIETY.
HALE-PREMIUMS.—HaIf the amount of Premiums for
Five Years may remain at a charge upon a Life Policy, paying
interest at 5 per cent. per annum.
SUMS ASSTIRRED RECEIVABLE AT 50, 55, 60, or 65.—This
great improvement, by which a person may realize the benefit
during his own lifetime, was first introduced by this Society
some years ago. It combines the system of Life Assurance
with Annual Investment of surplus income, and is doubly in-
teresting to all families :—should the head be prematurely re-
rcoved, all the other members are protected; should he survive
to claim the sum assured, each member shares the benefit and
satisfaction.

USUAL ADVANTAGES.-With respect to all the usual pri-
vileges and advantages, the Policy-holder in this Society is
placed upon as favourable a footing as in any other respectable
Society whatever.—A large Capital guarantees unquestionable
safety to the Policy-holders, who incur no responsibility, al-
though two-thirds of the Profits are allotted to their benefit.
The Society grants Annuities, either immediate or deferred,
on a single life, or on two or more joint lives, on survivorships,
and on every species of reversionary contingency, on terms as
advantageous to the parties as the circumstances of each case
will admit.—Endowments for Children, on attaining Fourteen
or Twenty-one years of age ; also upon Marriage.
A Pocket Diary for 1841, containing copious Tables, may
be had, together with all other information respecting Annui-
ties and Life Assurance, on application at the Office, Arthur-
street West, London-bridge.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re-
quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life ono
half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five
years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remaine
subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be
deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience.
It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate
income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his
family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance
succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy,
having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years,
instead of the whole, as in all other Companies.
Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards
the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow
and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., sub-
ject only to the deduction of 144/. Is. 3d., being the amount
of premium unpaid.
On the Ist of July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent.
Per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating
plan from the dates of their policies, thus appropriating 20/.
a-year as an addition to every policy for 1,000/. The follow-
Table will show the amount of the bonus on policies since the
commencement of the Company in March, 1834 :
Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sum added to Policy.
£l,OOO 6 Years, 10 'Months... ...... £136 13 4
1,000 6 Years ........... 120 0 0

1,000 2 Years ......... ... 40 0 0

This Company holds ont, in various other respects, great
inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded,
it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed
of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure
his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for
his family.
