The most rational motives to Ltfe Assurance are found in
the
.plan adopted by this Society; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Aiszred, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reversee.

A SPECIAL NOTICE.
It being of importance to parties effecting Assurances, to be
aware of the benefits to be derived by making their proposals
at the most advantageous period, the Directors beg to intimate
that all Policies opened in the Participation Scheme,
BEFORE 15TH NOVEMBER NEXT,
will secure the advantage of the year's entry in ranking for
their share os the profits, at the approaching investigation in
1845, and at the future Quinquennial Divisions.
EXAMPLES OF BONUS ADDITION:-
1,0001., assured in 1825. increased, in 1840, to £1,337 10
1,0001., assured in. 1826, increased, in 1840, to 1,312 10
1,0001., assured in 1827, increased, in 1840, to 1,287 10
(Other sums in proportion. )
Being the largest vested Bonns declared by any Scottish office,
upon such Policies. Later Policies have also large additions.
The mode of division is similar to that acted upon by the
Equitable Society of Loudon, in the case of its privilege Policies.

The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre.
miums fall due on the sth o 1 October next, that the same muse
be paid Within thirty days from that date.
Thc Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly
on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth o
October, either of which several days constitutes the commence-
ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous
of -entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of
October next, should appear at the Office on or before that day.
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, however, all prudent offices
make a considerably 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
classification may be made
. 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 same is divided in various proportions
between Share and Stock holders and the assured.
3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole
of the profit is equally distributed amongst the assured only.
The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although ise paid agents for town or country have
at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver-
tising resorted to, yet its, advantages have been so well appre-
citted by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
:39,500/. _

In consequence of th e prosperous state of the Society's af-
fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing
have been reduced Fort y—two and a Half per cent.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained
on application at the Otli.ce.
