THE following are among the advantages of this So-
ciety
lst,—The security of an ample Assurance Fund, besides
the Subscribed Capital.
2dly,—For young and middle-aged lives the LOWEST
RATES OF PREMIUMS that entitle the Assured to participate
in the profits.
3dly,—Three-fourths of the profits divided every fifth year
among those who have been Assured four years on the equal
scale of premiums. The bonus declared in 1834 averaged
£l6 per cent. on the premiums then paid ; and the bonus
awarded in 1830, on the average, is equal to £3l per cent. on
the premiums received during the last five years.
4thly,—Assurers may have the bonus applied to increase
the sum assured, or in reduction of future premiums, either
for the remainder of life or for the next five years only.
sthly,—Policies granted without any charge to the Assured
beyond the stamp duty.
6thly,—An option given to Assurers, on the increasing
scale of rates, after the lapse of any number of years, to com-
mute the future increasing premium by an equivalent equal
annual one for the remainder of life, and, thereafter, to par-
ticipate in the profits. The same advantages are applicable
to Assurers on the decreasing scale of rates.
7thly,—Policies on the lives of parties dying by suicide,
duelling, or by the hands of justice not void as respects the
interests of persons to whom they may have been legally
assigned.
8 thly,—No extra charge for residence in any part of Europe,
nor for proceeding (in a decked, sailing, or steam-vessel)
from any one Port thereof to another during Peace, to
Assurers not being seafaring men by profession. Licenses
are granted to go to any part of the world upon terms pro-
portionate to the risks.
9thly,—Whole-life Policies on the equal scale of premium
purchasable after four years. Lapsed Policies revived on
favourable terms to the Assured.
*** Assurances may be effected on any and every day.
