the Plan adopted by this Society ; viz. Joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
"ions payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, I. 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 pro ainst unforeseen
contingencies.
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 was again declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
nude 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, aed Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
'?.ntageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
c'"ively in the possession of this Society,to show the true risk
life to dur;ns residence in India, and after retirement from
reign service. By order of the Board,
