The most rational motives to Life Assurance are jitund 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 reverses.

FIRE INSURANCES effected at the usual Reduced Rates,
and Policies may be transferred to this Office without extra
charge, and on terms very favourable to the Assured. Special
Risks reasonably rated.
LIFE ASSURANCES.
The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor-
poration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent„ or two per cent.
per annum on the sums assured—a result, it is believed, more
favourable than any other Company (mutual or proprietary)
has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premium
charged by this Company are taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be-
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.
To facilitate loan transactions a reduced scale of rates with-
out profit has been adopted. The rates and other particulars
may be ascertained at the above office*, or at any of the Com-
pany's Branch Establishments throughout the kiTHngdom.
