LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par-
iament, this Company now offers to future insarers Four-fifths of
he Profits, with Quinquennial Division, or a Low Rate of Premium
without participation of Profits.
The next division of Profits will be declared in June, 1860, when
ill participating Policies which shall have subsisted at leant one year
t Christmas, 1859, will be allowed to share in the Profits.
At the five divisions of Profits made by this Company, the total
reversionary Bonuses added to the Policies have exceeded 913,000,.
At Christmas, 1854, the Assuranees in force amounted to upwards
of 4,240,0001. ; the Income from the Life Branch in 1854 was more
han 200,000/. ; and the Life Assu,ance Fund (independent of the
Guarantee Capital) exceeded 1,700,0001.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The Extra Premiums required for the East
,nd West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the
United 4tates of America, have been materially reduced.
INVALID LlVES.—Persons who are not in such sound health as
would enable them to insure their Lives at the Tabular Premiums,
may have their Lives insured at Extra Premiums.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
Mined in each case a value not under 50/.
ASSIGNMENTS OF POLICIES.—Written Notices of, received
and registered.
MEDICAL FEES paid by the Company, and no charge will be
made for Policy Stamps.
FIRE DEPART ME NT.—lnsurances effected upon every descrip-
tion of property at moderate rates.

SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

Founded A D. 1815.
HEAD OFFICE—No. 5, St. Andrew-square, Edinburgh.
The Assured or Members are the only parties interested In the
Funds of this Institution, which noir amounts to upwards of

THREE MILLIONS STERLING.

The Society's claims to public confidence and support are grounded
mainly on the sound and equitable principles of its constitution, and
on the care and success with which its operations have been con-
ducted fYum their commencement up to the present time.

While the Premiums are not higher than those require.] by 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 compatible with safety, or as being based on what
is termed the " ITALF-CREDIT SYSTEM."

There being no Proprietary, however, those of the Assured wh• by
the terms of their policies are entitled to participate in the Profits 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 case 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
THAN DOUBLE THE SUMS ORIGINALLY ASSURED.

In cases where family provision is the sole object this result cannot
fail to be considered as of the most satisfactory nature ; while in other
instances where the parties are desirous of securing benefit from the
Surplus Payments DURING THEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowing the
Bonus to remain an addition to the Assurance payable at death. the
alternatives practicable under the laws of the office have been com-
mensurate in degree. In many cases, in consideration of an aban-
donment of the reversionary claims for Bonus Additions already de-
clared, such parties have either received large payments in PRESENT
CASH, Or have been LONG AGO ENTIRELY RELIEVED FROM FURTHER
FITMENT OF PREMIUM, the Policies still remaining entitled to partici-
pate in future allocations of the profits.
Illustrations of the application or 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 Head Office, or to any of the
JOHN Agents in
M the three kingdoms.
