The DIRECTORS of the STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY beg to intimate with reference to the PRECEDING
ADVERTISEMENT from the YORK and LONDON AS.
SUR AICCE COMPANY, that any COMMUNICATION
ADDRESSED to their SECRETARY on the SUBJECT of
the AGREEIIENT which has been made BETWEEN the
OFFICES will have IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY is
constituted by Act of Parliament. It was established in 1825 and
its business has been conducted with very great success.

The Assurances granted in the year 1843 alone exceed one.third
of a million sterling, adding nearly 11,000/. per annum to the
Company's Revenue from Premiums.

BUSINESS.

The Business of the Company embraces all transactions depen.
dent on life, and Parties have the benefit, if desired, of participating
in the Profits of the Business.

The Terms of the Company will be found moderate, and no entry
money is charged.

DIVISION OF PROFITS.

The Standard Life Assurance Company has already divided
Profits among its policyholders upon two different occasions, at
15th of November, 1835, being ten years from the commencement
of the business, and at 15th of November, 1840, being five years
from the first division.

The future periodical divisions of profits will be made at inter-
vals of five years; the next, or third period, being the Isth of
November, 1845.
A Bonus, when vested, may be added to the original sum as-
sured, or the value of the Bonus may be received in money, or a
corresponding reduction will be made from the future annual
premiums, at the option of the party assuring.
THE ADDITIONS TO POLICIES which have already been
declared, are exhibited in the following Table, the examples being
Policies of 1,0001. :

Note.—These Additions are vested rights under Policies which
have been in existence for Five Years.

By observing carefully the scale of Additions, it will be per.
ceived that the greatest comparative advantage is c'erived by these
Assurers whose Policies are upheld by the Company for the longest
period—a result which is produced by the particular principle of
division which has been adopted, the measure of an Assurer's
cla'm at each period being the number of years the Policy has
existed.
THIS SYSTEM IS SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH IS ACTED
UPON BY THE EQUITABLE SOCIETY IN THE CASE OF
ITS PRIVILEGED POLICY-HOLDER.
No scheme can be offered conferring greater advantages upon
good lives, and it is particularly suitable to those persons who effect
Assurances with the intention of continuing them fur the benefit of
their families.
GENERAL REGULATIONS A.ND CONDITIONS.

Being desirous to afford every safe encouragement to the exten
'ion of the system of Life Assurance among all classes, the Direc-
tors make it their Judy to conduct the business of the Company
on the most liberal principles.
