This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras. and Bombay, on Indian risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables,
exclusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service.

SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND LIFE

FOUNDED ON THE ORIGINAL BASIS OF
THE LUNDON EQUITABLE.

THIS IS THE OLDEST AND MOST EXTENSIVE

ACCUMULATED FUND.

NINE HUNDREDS SEV ENT THOUSAND POUNDS.

ANNUAL REVENUE.
ONE HUNDRED & SEVENTY THOUSAND POUNDS.
WHOLE PROFITS BELONG TO THE ASSURED.

The Additions mule by way of Bonus to the Policies of this
Office vary from Ten per Cent. to upwards of Sixty per Cent.
on the Capital Sums Assured, according to the duration of
the Policy.
Parties desirous of Insuring are reminded of the advantages
which will arise to such as are effected within the current year,
the Regulations of the Society requiring that, before additions
can become absolutely vested, the Policies entitled thereto must
have beer. in endurance at least five full and complete years.
This condition, which forms part of the system of most of the
Mutual Insurance Societies, will, of course be satisfied at the
next periodical .nvestigation on the 31st of December, 1845, in
regard to all Policies opened within the year 1840.
