HIS Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords
.I. the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and
only requires, when an insurance is for the whole period of
life, one-half of the very moderate premiums to be paid for
the first five years after the date of the policy ; the other half
may remain, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent.
annually, to he deducted at death, or may be previously paid
off at convenience.

It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate
income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his
family ; and should he at any time, after effecting the insur-
ance, succeed to or acquire a fortune, he may relinquish his
policy, having only paid one-half the premiums for the first
five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies.
Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
£2B lfis. 3d., for the first five years, and afterwards the full
premium, £57 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and
children, at his death, payment of no less than £3OOO, sub-
ject only to the deduction of £1.1.1 Is. 3d., being the amount
of premium unpaid.

. --
On the Ist of July the Board of Directors added 2 per
cent. per annum as a bonus to those assured on the partici-
pating plan, from the dates of their policies, thus appro-
priating £2O a year as an addition to every policy for £lOOO.
The following table will show the amount of the bonus on
policies for £lOOO since the commencement of the Company
in March, 1834 :

Sums Assured. Time Assured. Sum added to Policy.
£lOOO 6 Years 10 Mouths. £136 13s. 4d.

This Company holds out in various other respects great
inducements to the public. 'When such facilities are afforded
it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not pos-
sessessed of a fortune, but an income, however moderate, to
insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable pro-
♦ision for his family.
