liability to the 31st of December, 1852, declared a bonus from
the profits realised during the first seven years of the Com-
pany's operations ; which, in numerous instances, Its shown by
the following examples, is equal to 75 per cent. on the amount
of premiums paid:—

The total number of deaths amongst the assured has been so
far below the expected mortality provided for by the Com-
pany's tables, and so sound have proved the principles upon
which the office was founded, that the Directors anticipate with
confidence that, by persevering in the same careful selection of
lives proposed for assurance, and by adhering to the principle
of rendering their policies indisputable, the same success will
continue to attend the Institution, and that future distributions
of profits will yield equal advantages to the assured.
