SUBSCRIBED CAPITAL, £300,000.

This Officewas Established in 1541, and possesses tables
formed on a scientific bass for the assurance of diseased lives.
The urgent necessity forsuch an institution maybe estimated
by the fact that two-thirds of the population are not assurable
/is healthy lives, and that about one in 'five of the applicants to
other offices is declined on examination.

And that during the period of five years, as shown at the An-
nual General Meeting of the Proprietors in November last, up-
•wards of 2000 proposals had been made to the Society, covering
Assurances to above One Million.

It is the only Company possessing tabulated rates of pre-
mium for Disease deduced from extensive data.
HEALTHY LIVES, both at Home and inToreign Climates,
are Assured with as much facility and at lower rates than at
most other offices ; and a capital of HALF-A-MILLION ster-
ling., fully subscribed, affords a complete guarantee for the ful-
filment of the Company's engagements.

The Promoters of this Society aim at imparting tn it the same
stability and trustworthiness which have so long distinguished
the Life Assurance Companies, and which, they believe, may be
attained by the •exercise of ordinary prudence in its constitu-
tion and management, as the laws of sickness and mortality to
which the members of•such societies are subject are now well
known. They feel confident that an institution of a kind
admitted to be, when well conducted, so serviceable to the
industrious classes, placed on a sure foundation, and with
proper securities for its faithful and efficient management, will
receive that support which is freely extended to every useful
undertaking.

This Company was established in the year 1836, was consti-
tuted by Act of l'arliament in 184.2, and embrace all the im-
provements in the science of Life Assurance.
The following advantages to assurers may be particularly re-
ferred to :

1. Its engagements are guaranteed by a paid-up capital 'and
wealthy proprietary, being interposed between the assured and
all responsibility.
2. Parties assuring " with participation" in profits, receive
'two-thirds of all profits arising* from that department of busi-
Hess; while those assuring without participation in profits are
charged very moderate premiums, graduated according to a
liberal scale.

3. The premiums for short periods are such as greatly to en-
courage assurances, for temporary purposes.
4. There is an annual investigation of the Company's affairs,
and an annual declaration of bonus in the above proportion to
holders of policies on the participation scale. The principle of
annual-declaration of bonus, instead of that usually adopted of
quinquennial or septennial declaration, is especially deserving
of the notice of parties intending to effect Life Assurance.
5. This Company having recently reduced the premiums ge-
nerally required for voyage and residences abroad, they are
enabled to grant assurances on parties proceeding to, or at pre-
sent resident in, any place beyond the limits of Furope, upon
the most favourable terms. Assurers are at liberty to proceed
to any part of Europe without additional charge.
6. There is no charge for Entry Money.
