All the advantages peculiar to mutual Life Assurance, aris-
ing from a division amongst the assured of the whole of the
Mutual Profits, and that security and freedom from responsibi-
lity which Proprietary Companies can alone afford, are com-
bined by the constitution of the London, Edinburgh, snd
Dublin Life Assurance Company, which is the only guaranteed
lifutual Society. The rates of premium are somewhat lower
k than in most of the mutual offices, and for the non-participating,
ltrid for those who effect assurances for temporary purposes, or
debtor and creditor transactions, Tables of Premium have been
repared, by which a less immediate payment is required than
by any other plan.
By a half premium credit system one-half of the premium'
!nay be retained for the first seven years, and repaidat the con-
‘,.enience of the assured: and by the Ascending Scale a greatly
diminished rate of premium is required for the first twelve years.
