The principle of this Company is that of attaching all
Importers and Exporters, by a Division of the Profits among
them, after payment of the Dividends, thus creating a com-
munity of Interests between the Shippers and Shareholders,
a principle which will best guarantee to its Proprietors a
certainty of their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-
tions of Goods and Live Stock the having a well-supported
Establishment of first-class Steamers, and the lowest rate of
freight compatible with due attention to their maintenance.

SCOTTISII PROVIDENT INSTITUTION for LIFE
ASSURANCE and ANNUITIES.
EDINBURGH.—No. 16, SOUTH ST. DAVID-STREET.
GLASGOW.—NO. 33, BUCHANAN-STREET.
JAMES WATSON, Esq., MANAGER.
The Design of this Institution has been to ),
several advantages of the systems formerly in use!
.
Until its establishment an Assurer was compiled either to
/
see the Profits of his Assurance go to raise t Shares of a
Proprietary Company, or, in joining a 21 tual Assurance
Society, to pay a Premium confessedly obitant, and dis-
proportioned to the risk, and this altho €h lower Premiums
must suffice in the latter, from no pr vision having to be
made out of them for dividend on a capital.
The Tables have been deduced chiefly from the Govern-
ment observations for Males, with reference to other recent
and accredited sources, with such an addition as to provide
for perfect security.
The Premiums for Young and Middle Ages are about one-
fourth lower than in other Mutual Assurance Offices.
The Profits are wholly divisible among the Members, on a
new and equitable principle, peculiarly favourable to good
Lives. That principle is—that the surplus should be re-
served for those Members whose Premiums, with accumu-
lated interest, amount to the. Sums in their Policies.
The constitution of the Society thus embraces every ad-
vantage

behalf of the Members, find it, in many cases, to he their
interest to surrender these, and open new ones with this
Office. This has been done with Profit, even with Policies
of more than twelve years standing..
Assurances effected. on every contingency of Life, and Pre-
miums received in any way, to suit the convenience of parties
