UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, 1. King William-street, London.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders;
three-fourths to the former, and one .fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years. and thus to provide against unforeseen
con( ingencies.
The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction wasagain declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated front extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society , to show the true risk
of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,
