The object of this Society is to afford to the Assured all the
benefits of Life-Assurance, at a great reduction in the rates
of Premium.

FOR EXAMPLE.

A person aged 30, may with this Society assure his life for
500/., by the annual payment of 11/. 3s. 4d., which in a society
where the Bonus is held out as a main inducement, would cost
him 131. 7s. 4d., or, in other words, for the same annual pre-
mium he could at this Office assure very nearly 6001., whereby
he derives AN IMMEDIATE AND CERTAIN BONUS
OF 1001.

All particulars as to Shares, Loans, Assurances, &c. may be
obtained on application to the Secretary ; and, if required,
forwarded to the country.
Parties in the country eligible for undertaking Agencies are
requested to apply.
A very liberal Commission allowed to Solicitors Lnd Agents.

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia-
ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect
security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834.
In Ir4l the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per
Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par-
ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale,
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
• The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in Mareh 1834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows :

October, either of which several days constitutes the commence-
ment of the year to ME:4BEas. Persons, therefore, desirous

So various are the plans now before the public for effecting
Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to
make choice between them. As, hossever, all prudent offices
make a cQnsiderably higher charge in the annual premium
than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ
in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following
classlication may be made :

DIRE

Ist. Prop ietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre-
miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the
Share or Stockholders.

2d. Offices where the sanie is divided in various proportions
between Share and Stockholders and the assured.

3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole
of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only.
The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established
in 1t335, and although no paid agents for town or country have
at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver-
tising resorted to, vet its advantages have beers so well appre-
cated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
33,5001.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af-
fai.s, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing
bays been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained
cat a2plication at the Office.
