HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.
Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with.
out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre-
miums, paying interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent. per
Annum, with the option of paying off the Principal at any time, or
having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy
becomes a claim.
Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally
required for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have
the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death
may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which
would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way.

A TALE OF THE ATTRUCK.

By J. B. FRASER, Esq.
Author of " The Kuzzilbash," " Allee Neemroo," &c.

" This Persian fiction of Mr. Fraser :s perhaps the completest ful-
filment that can be conceived of an historical romance ; where the
history and historical persons of a given period are so intermixed
with the events and characters of the fiction, that it is d'fficult to tell
which predominates. This is accomplished in' The Dark Falcon' by
selecting a period of history full of remarkable persons and strikingly
strange events ; so that the truth itself is stranger than fiction.
There is no lack of sustained interest in the work ; the reader has no
desire to quit it unfinished."—Spectator.

among others, this Essay addresses itself ; and by its perusal many
