COMPANY,
8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
Established by Act of Parliament in 1834. .
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords, the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 60,0001. •
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added .a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1634, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :

5000 6 years 6OO 0 0 5000 2 years 200

only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.

Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8,

The DIREC FORS hereby give
miums fall due on the sth of A pri
within thirty days from that date.
Tne premiums are payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, on th
sth of January, sth of April. sth of July, and sth of October, either
of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to
Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as
Members, on the sth of April next, should appear, or lodge their
proposals at the Office; on or before that day. • .
So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As-
surance on Lite, that it may seem difficult to, make choice between
them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher
charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown
to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or
profit, the following classification may be made :
Ist„ Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from premiums and
other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock-
holders.
2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be-
tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured. •
3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the
profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only.
The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any
time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising re.
sorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the
public, that the annual premiums already exceed £49,000.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the
Annual Premiums of Members of rive Years' standing have been
reduced FO Y-TWO AND A HALF per Cent.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on
application at the office.
