THIS Society is so constituted as to present the means of
effecting Assurances on Lives with the greatest possible
advantage to the Public.
Three-fourths of the present profits, and, eventually, the
whole profits will be divided among the Policy-holders.
Every person Assured to the extent of £SUO, for the whole
term of life, will, after four years, be entitled to participate in
the profits, and to attend and vote at all General i\leetings, the
Members of which have absolute controul over ,the affairs of
the Society.
No claim can be litigated or disputed, without the sanction of
a General Meeting of the Policy-holders specially convened on
the occasion.
The Directors _having availed themselves of all the impor-
!taut information relative to the decrements of human life,
'which has recently been communicated to the Public, have
been enabled to construct a set of Tables, in which the Rates
`of Assurance are considerably lower than those of any other
Office, in which the Assured participate in the profits.
They have also been enabled, from the extent and variety of
the computations, to adopt the mode of payment, in each case,
to the accommodation of the party Assured. An instance of
such accommodation may be seen in the annexed extract from
the incrpasine,cr rates of Premium ; which have been calculated
expressly for the use of this Institution.
Females and others, who are unable to attend personally at
the Office, may appear-before one of the Medical Officers, in
town or country, and proposals may be completed without de-
lay, where the documents relative to the health of the parties
are satisfactory.
Prospectuses and every requisite information may be ob-
tained by application to the Agent.
Annual Premiums, increasing every fifth year until the
twentieth, inclusive, after which a fixed Annual Premium will
be payable during the remainder of Life.
