Trust Companies, combining the business of Life Assur-
ance, prevail in the United States.
'The Administration of Trusts, at a fair remuneration, by a
public body, always on the spot, under the guarantee of a
subscribed capital, in preference to the agency of individual
Trustees, possesses the following advantages :
First—The difficulty of finding private friends willing to
incur the responsibilities of a Trust is removed.
Secondly—ln the event of a Trustee's death, the possible
devolution of the estate to a single Trustee, and thence to his
representatives, is prevented; and in like case. a reappoint-
ment of Trustees, the expense of a new deed, transfer of
property, &c., becomes unnecessary.
Thirdly—The inconvenience arising from the non-payment
or receipt of money, and the postponement of important
business during the occasional absence of Trustees, never
can occur.

Fourthly—A Public Trust Company is a guarantee against
the possibility of loss, from neglect, improvidence, or fraud.
The Periodical Repot ts of its affairs will be a constant test of
its integrity and credit.
The Company will undertake every species of Trust,
whether permanent or for a particular purpose ; and will
invest the Funds of a Trust according to the provisions of
the Deed; but at the desire of the Settler, the Company
adopting its own mode of investment, will guarantee a specific
Rate of Interest, and repay the Capital committed to its
charge at a defined period.
It will be the general rule of the Company to employ So-
licitors in the conduct of the legal business of such Trusts as
they may introduce.

The liberality of Assurance Department is exemplified
by its Tables. Half the declared Profits of the Trust busi-
ness will be divided amongst the Assured on the principles of
participation.

Extra Premiums for visiting Foreign Countries will be
regulated by the length of the voyage and healthiness of the
climate; but the Assured (not mariners by occupation) may
pass in time of peace to or from the Continent, in decked or
steam-vessels, from Gottenburg to Gibraltar, and all the
European ports of the Mediterranean, without notice to the
Office or extra premium. •
DEFERRED ANNUITIES —The benefits of Life
Assurance are extended to other contingencies than that of.
the death of the Assured, by granting deferred Annuities at
the attainment of a given age. These may be purchased by
occasional savings in times of prosperity, and the sums so
paid, together with the premiums on a Life Policy, will be
considered as a Cash Credit, entitling the Annuitant or
Policy-holder to a reasonable Advance of Money from the
Company.
EN DOWMENTS OF CHILDREN Parents and
Guardians, by a single or by annual payments, may seen' e
to a Child or others, the payment of a certain sum at any
age, or at any period.
