Tne premiums are payalsle yearly, half.yeerly, or quarterly, on the
sth of January, Sth of April, St h of July. and sth of October, either
of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to
Members. I'ersone, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as
Members, on the sth of January next, should appear, or lodge their
proposals at the Office, en or before tha day.
So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As-
surance ois 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 shows
to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or
profit, the following clusitication may be made:—
lit. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from premiums and
other prohts is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock.
holders.

Yd. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be-
tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured.
:kl. Mice* of a strictly mutual character, where the whol 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 an 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 Five Years' standing hate been
reduced 1,0211 Y-TWO AND A HALF per Cent.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on
application at the office.
