The following Peculiar Advantages are offered by this Company:-
1. Their policies cover the risk of living and voyaging over afar
lirger portion of the globe than do those issued by any other com-
pany in existence. They allow the insured to reside in the Australa-
sian and North American colonies, and at the Cape of Good Hope.
They also allow of one passage out and one home to any of those co-
lonies. For British India a very moderate extra premium is charged.
2. Premiums may be paid and claims settled at Sydney, Calcutta,
Madras, and Bombay.
3. A third of the premiums may remain unpaid for five years, nor
is it necessary for the maintenance of the assurance to pay up the
premium at the end of that time, but the unpaid thirds may remain
as a debt against the policy if the interest be regularly paid upon
them as the renewal premiums fall due.
