LIFE A ASTTRANCE SOCIETY.

VOnDled A D. 1815.
ITEAD OFrrcE—No. 5. St. Andrew-squar., Edinburgh

The Assured or Members arc the only parties interested in the
Funds of this Institution,which now amounts to upwards of

THRE'LI MILLIONS STERLING.

The Society's claims public confidence and support are grounded
Mainly on ths sound at td equitable principles of its constitution, and
on the care and success with which its operations have been con-
ducted front their coT.mencement up to the present time.
While the Premlunis are not higher than those require I be many
Other Odium 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 " 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 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 Policieo,
which have become claims within the last few years, the amounts
Paid to the representatives of deceased Members have been AtoaE
TILAN.DOUBLE 'TIIE 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 part es are desirous of securing benefit from the
Surplus Payments 1s :RING TIIEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowing the
Bonita to remain an addition to the Assurance payable at death, the
alternatives practicable under the laws of the office have been coin-
Mensurate in degree. In many cases, in consideration of an aban-
donment of the reversionary clai r s for Bonus Additions already de-
clared, such parties have either received large payments in PRESENT
CASH, Or have been LONG AGO ENTIRELY RELIEVED FROn FURTHER
PAYMENT OF I'I3.ENTIIM, the Policies still remaining ent tied to partici-
Date 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,
to:Tether with Forms of Proposal, &c , may be had on application at
the Head Office, or to any of the Agents in the three kingdoms.
