This is strictly;jlVlutual Assurance Society, and the pro-
fits are divisible on a new and equitable principle, peculiarly
favourable to good lives.
In other offices, a share of profits is allotted to all policies,
indiscriminately, which have subsisted for a certain short
term, as five years or even less ; although holders who hap-
pen to die at such early period, must occasion a loss to the
common fund : the premiums which they have lived to pay
not amounting to one-fourth the sum withdrawn at their

But in this office, the entire surplus is reserved for those
members whose premiums, with accumulated interest, amount
to the sums in their policies.
The Premiums are about one-fourth lower than those of
other Mutual Assurance Offices, which is equivalent to an
immediate bonus to that extent. Thus securing the greatest
present benefit, while the peculiar mode of division of the
profits gives promise of the greatest future contingent ad-
vantages. A combination presented by no other office.
The premiums have been deduced from the most recent
and accredited sources, with such addition as to provide for
perfect security.
