bined by the constitution of the London, Edinburgh, and

utual Society. The rates of premium are somewhat lower
than in most of the mutual offices, and for the non-participating,
td for those who effect assurances for temporary purposes, or
debtor and creditof transactions, Tables of Premium have been
prepared, by which a less immediate payment is required than
any other plan.
By a half premium credit system one-half of the premiums

lenience of the assured : and by the Ascending Scale a greatly
Iliminished rate of premium is required for the first twelve years.
