Acrumn--F. G. P. Neison, Esq.
This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables,
by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms.
Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on
unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease.
Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates.
Healthy lives are assured on lower terms than at most ether
offices.

The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in • 1705,
and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to
a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important
changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So.
ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of
persons who suffer from disease.
The science of statistics has only within a recent period been
successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and
hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been
formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous
for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of
persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in.
formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office,
is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life
assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life
assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that
on healthy lives. •
It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, In
common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons,
it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons
labouring under disease ; and to this latter feature particular atten.
tints is directed.

In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than
all other offices can have unitedly; and in the

Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its
own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more
permanent foundation.
These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an
explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease.
The period of life most important to an assurance office is' that be-
tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer
exclusively to this period of life.
It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two
years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from
consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of
the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva.
lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted
with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of
the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half
of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused
admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to
the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir-
mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes,
per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are
1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The
same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot-
land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes,
amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and
from six important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more
than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to
the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be
found that the deaths in that period, from all causes,, were 14,107,
from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being
more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes.
The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a
chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which,
en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the
persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since
it thus appears. that a majority of the population is included in this
class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society
cannot fail to be justly appreciated.
The second point to be explained is the fact that there is
much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of
paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and
deserves to he carefully considered.
The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in
the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different
degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its
caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation
of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased
lives than over the general population, and among selected lives.
The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are
sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow,
from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the
matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum
in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only
9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in
consumption was only one-fifth of the other ; and in Manchester,
Liverpool, and Birmingham, ever. with the disadvantage of
smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent.,
showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the
mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute
in its results than that which regulates the general population.
Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi.
dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the
larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question
under consideration; but the same test has been applied to a great
number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine
diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism,
disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the
fluctuation was only 71 per cei,t., and in five diseases in a different
district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven
in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation
did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns is
England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds,
Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important
diseases was 6'4 per cent.
The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro.
duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality
in disease ; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole
range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor-
tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population
has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer-
tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with
how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be
depended on. _ _

.
It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of
fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or
class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in
England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng-
land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of
select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the
effects of locality and its sanatory condition on the duraticn of
life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz.,
that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun-
try districts than in large cities; but that of these persons
who suffer front disease the value of life is nearly the same. As
an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country
districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years.—diffe-
rence 33 per cont. nearly; but take the case of persons of that
age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will
ultimately die of consumption, and their expec,ati,n of life in the
counties of Essex, Suflolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5,
in cities (Glasgow) 14.4, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir-
mingham, 13•9 ; difference •017 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It
therefore appears that while the difference between country and
town life in the former case is about 33 per cent., that in the latter
instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the
results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with come
other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This
fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have
been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly
arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease
is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in—
fluenced by external circumstances.
Ithence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased
rives is much less than among select lives and the population gene..
rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be

less,
To apply this conclusion t. the affairs of an assurance office, it
may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society,
taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would
indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have
always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths ;
on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not
provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the
risk of aasuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45,
or only one fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of
this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness
of the principles on which it is founded.
Far further information, reference is made to the prospectuses
and other published decumt,nts of the Society, which may be ob.
ecl on application at the Society's offices.

will readily be conceded that health and longevity are amongst the
prominent features of the Property under review. The Neigh.

teethed as the most distinguee of any in the Environs of the Me-

it possesses all the accommodation a family of pretension will aspire
to; it would puzzle one afflicted with the contagion of being fasti-

In the court-yard is every essential for a large establishment—
stalling for six or seven horses, double coach-house, dairy,
piggery; in short, everything that the mind's eye can desire, is
at hand. The neighbourhood is greatly favoured by the good
feeling that exists everywhere. It has always been remarked
there is less of turmoil to be encountered amongst the select

instructions of the Executors of WILLIAM DEANE, Esq.,
lately decelsed, to OFFER to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction
Mart, London, on TUESDAY NEXT, June 18, at Twelve o'Clock,
in Lots (and in pursuance of the Will it will be without reserve),
a very important Freehold Property.
THE ALTON HALL ESTATE AND DEMESNE,
very advantageously situate 6 miles from Ipswich, .14 from Col-
chester Terminus, and only separated from
THE PORT OF HARWICH
by the ornamental river StOur. By the way, it is well to notice an

THAT ONE OF THE SEATS
FOR THIS TOWN . .
Is In reserve for the ncxt Proprietor of Alton Mall.
In describing this estate, it is not easy to know where to begin •
It is so fruitfill in its advantages that,a little judgment is required
to stake them all manifest in such a confined space. First and
foremost requiring our consideration, is "the gentlemanly anode;"
it is of a character to render it suitable to a gentleman who would
prefqr comfort to outward splendour; but it is not without the
capability to put on another character, and to soar very high, with-
out encountering a serious outlay; and the situation is so beauteous
that no one would hesitate in its adoption. It is on an elevated
position, approached by an
AVENUE OF VENERABLE OARS;
the grounds are delightfully irregular, with hill and dale and
dells and precipices, without termination, varied by the meander.
ing of a streamlet, and the waters may be rendered quite orna.
mental at a trifling costal with
THE WOODLAND SCENERY WHICH IS QUITE
BEAUTIFUL
in every direction—a little army of thorns, contrasted with an
infinity of ever-green oaks, are seen contending for the ascendancy.
The plantations which screen the abode are very extensive and
luxuriant beyond measure. The gardens are fully competent to be
independent of the expense of Covent-garden market, with
THE CONSERVATORY, HOT-HOUSE,
cucumber and melon beds ; and a pretty Dutch garden must not
be overlooked in this concise but imperfect detail. Next in suc-
cession it will be essential to point out the nature and extent of
this eligible investment. First, there is a very comfortable
WATER CORN-MILL
entirely shut out of view, with a cosy habitation, and 20 acres of
capital land, with the jolly Miller, Ranson, a very superior tenant,
who contributes his low rent (1101. a-year) to " the ways and
means." The supply of water is never exhausted.
THE ENTIRE 'DOMAIN EXCEEDS
ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY ACRES OF
superior Land, and it will be confirmed that it is in thriving condi.
tion when the reader is told that Mr. Deanes and his worthyfa-
mily 'have located upon it over-a period extending to nearly a cen.
tury. Around the house, and to form the first lot, is 520 ACRES,
entirely within a ring fence, adapted to wheat and barley, with
plenty ofgood turnip land, and a superior residence for a bailiff,
and all the concomitants in the shape of farm buildings, extending
nearly to the -

LITTL'E RURAL VILLAGE OF STUTTON,
with coach houses and good stabling, with every essential out-door
office. Next in succession is
ARIVARTON AND HARKSTEAD,
TWO FARMS ACCOUNTED QUITE EQUAL
TO ANY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY;
and this observation is made advisedly, inasmuch as they have
always been

DENOMINATED PLEASURE FARMS,
to which term they have pleaded guilty, rather than be only a
source of profit. Arivarton Farm has a residence upon it, that
would be very captivating in the eye of a sporting gentleman.
AS A SHOOTING BOX,
it would have no rival ; and one of the great attributes to
THIS DISTINGUISHED PROPERTY,
is, that it soars very high for the quantity of fame. It is sur-
rounded by THE ARCHDEACON BERNERS,
who preserves his game very strictly ; and Alton Hall necessarily
partakes considerably from the immensity of birds that resort to the
woods. The quantity killed annually would produce a large in-
come. A navigable river runs parallel with these two farms for a
mile and a half, and extends to the sea.
IT HAS A CAPITAL QUAY
and a Pier, and all the appurtenances necessary:to pttt on boatd
all the produce for the London market, gaininethe highest prices
and shipped at a trifling expense. This alone increases the value
of the land ss. an acre, but the soil is so fertile that it grows
splendid Wheat and Barley, and the appearance of an immense
flock of Sheep proves its superiority as Turnip Land; but this is a
story only half told.
THE BULLOCKS FATTED ON THIS LAND
remove all doubts of its quality. At this present writing are a
dozen ready for their projected journey to Smithfield, where they
must bear the palm, although they have got fat on the turnips
alone, never having been indulged, even by way of a bon bouche,
with the sight of oil cake or corn. This is incontrovertible proof,
as strong as Holy Writ, that the Rental will exceed
FORTY SHILLINGS PER ACRE.
THE TITHE IS WELL COMMUTED, AND ALL THE
OUTGOINGS EXCEEDINGLY MODERATE.
It is quite refreshing, as the eye wanders over this large tract of
fine land, to see how the fields absolutely groan with the quantity
of manure, and a little host of dunghills to replace the bygone
season, and it must be remembered that it is of the best sort that
London can produce. These Farms are about four miles from the
Hall, with a capital road to them. The estimated v-lue of the
whole Estate, with the Mill, but independently, of the Game, ap.
proaches TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR ;
and now, by way of conclusion, let the holder of
THREE PER CENTS., ALREADY BEYOND PAR,
remember the memorable declaration of Sir Robert Peel, in this
Session of Parliament,
" I neither have, nor do I contemplate any change whatever in
the. Corn-laws."
And when he has digested this cheering fact, let him dispassionately
debate in his own mind upon the unequivocal superiority that lAnd
now presents as opposed to the very, very unhealthy price of the
Funds.
The neighbourhood is highly respectable and prone to good fel.
lowship. There are three pews in the Churth, with a faculty for two
of them, and the late excellent proprietor was for half a century re-
quested to continue churchwarden. There are four very good Cot-
tages for the labourers. Mr. Robins could easily lengthen this
moderated detail, but he is inclined to believe enough is promised
to incline the fundholder to transfer some of his uncertain stock
jinto " Terra Firma."

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL,
under the directions of Trustees, at the Eagles Inn,
Llanrwst, on WEDNESDAY and TOURSDAY, -the 26th and 27th of
June, punctually at Eleven for Twelve each day,
A SINGULARLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE,
adapted especially both for occupation or safe investment; it is
situate immediately adjacent to
THE MARKET TOWN OF LLANRWST.
AND IS CALLED THE BER•THDDU ESTATE,
comprehending TWO THOUSAND 'FIVE HUNDRED ACRES,
including some
OF THE BEST LAND THROUGHOUT NORTH WALES,
distributed in pasture and arable land, with very fertile water raea-
dows, and suitahle farin houses ; possessing the unusual advantage
that all of them, as well as the agricultural buildings are in the
best possible state, with an excellent tenantry, .
" ALL GOOD MEN 'AND TRUE."
To be appended to these advantages is
THE EAGLES INN, AND A LARGE
PORTION OF THE TOWN OF LLANRWST,
which is a most improving property. This romantic town is on
THE BANK OF THE RIVER. CONWAY,
and in the centre of the, most beautiful scenery• ter which •North:.
Wales is so justly extolled:
THE FAMED WATERFALL OF RMADER Y WENNOL,
the great feature of the country, is close by. There are many valu-
able sites, admirably adapted to build upon, around this picturesque
town, which, by the way, is close to the splendid
SEAT OF LORD WILLOUGHBY D'ERESBY.
It is not intended to illustrate this round unvarnished tale with
any fanciful report; it will be enough to state that it is on the verge
of the beautiful and
" PEACEFUL VALE OF LLANRWST,"
in the counties of Denbigh and Carnarvon ; that it is close to the
market town of Llanwrst, the Holyhead and London mail pass.
ing dailg through the property, and the new railroad from London
to Holyhead within an hour's drive. The importance which
such an event will communicate it is difficult to estimate too
highly. This railway is immediately to be commened,
UNDER THE COUNTENANCE OF GOVERNMENT,
and will bring the Property now for sale within a three hours'
drive of Liverpool, and eight of London.
THE SUPERIORITY OF
THE SALMON AND TROUT FISHING,
and the abundance of game and field sports, are all valuable
auxiliaries, and as regards
THE BEAUTEOUS SCENERY
OF FAMED NORTH WALES,
t may suffice to state that it does not yield to any throughout the
county.

N.B. There are most valuable and thriving plantations upon

its size throughout this favourite and genial climate.
