LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

HEAD OFFICE—\o. 5. St. Andrew-squarP, Edinburgh

. .
The Assured or Members are the only r arties interested in the
runds of this Institution, which now amounts to uowards of
THREE MILLIONS STERLING.
The Society's claims to public confidence and support are grounded
Mainly on the sound and equitab,e principles of its constitution, and
on the care and success with which its operations have been con-
ducted from their commencement up to the present time. •
While the Premiums are not hither than those require I be many
Other Offices, the Society does not pretend to compete with those
Which hold out the attractions of cheap rates, whether as being the
lowest which are rompati,ile with safety, or as being based on what
Is termed the " HALF-CREDIT SYSTEM."
There being no Proprietary, however, those of the Assured who by
the terms of their policies are entitled to participate in the Proti s of
the Society, are the only parties who derive benefit from the rates
being more than what are found from time to time to be required to
meet the actual risks-; and the result of past allocations of Surplus
Profits has been such that in the else of all the earlier Policies,
which have become claims within the last few years, the amounts
Paid to the representatives of deceased Members have been MORE
Taal" DOUBLE TIIE SUMS ORIGINALLY ASSURED.

In cases whezef;nily provision is the sole object this result cannot
fall to be considered as of the most satisfactory nature ; while in other
instances where the part es are desirous of securing benefit from the
Surplus Payments DURING THEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowing the
zonus to remain an addition to the Assurance payable at death, the
alternatives practicable under the laws of the office hive been cam-
rnenstirate In degree. In many cases, in consideration of an ahan-
dontnent of the reversionary claia s for Bonus Additions alread de-
clared, such parties have either received large payments in PRESENT
CASH, Or have been LONG AGO ENTIRELY RELIEVED FROM FURTHER
PAYMENT OF PREMIUM, the Policies still remaining ent tied to partici-
Pate in future allocations of the profits.
Illustrations of the application of Bonus on either of the ,footings
above referred to are contained in the Society's Prospectu.es, which,
-together with Forms of Proposal, &c , may be had on application at
the Heal Office, or to any of the Agents in the three kingdoms.
