ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

AND LIFE

FOUNDED A.D. 181,
On the principle of Mutual Contribution

This dnstitution, notwithstanding its local name, has long
beenlavourably known to all classes in Great Britain and Ire-
land. It is the oldest and most successful Life Assurance
Vince in Scotland ; and with the exception of the London
Equitable, it is belived to be the most extensive upon the Mu-

tual Assin=ance principle of any in the country
The affairs of the Society are carefully investi

Of each period of seven yeiirs ; and it is provided by the Articles
of Constitution that at least one-third of the ascertained surplus
or profit shall be reserved as a Guarantee Fund. This Fund,
(luPwell as all the other Funds of the Societ ongs solely to
the Members—it secures the stabilit • the Institution, and
prevents the profits from being d* ted—as must be the case
in all Proprietary Offices—fro he individual benefit of the
Assured to increase the Diljorends of the Stockholders.

At the last Septennialteper iod
ember, 1845,) iit N' ascerl

amounted to iipwD,r6 of
SIX HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS,
from which the Directors were enabled, after setting aside up-
'Wards of
TWO HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS
Ike a -Gua ran te e Fund, to declare and provide for the following
additions :

1. An addition at the rate of two per -cent. per annum, for
the period from 31st December, 1838, -on the accumulated
amount of the original sums assured and the previously de-
clared additions-; heirs", in the case of,the early Insurances,
UPWARDS .OF THREE PER CENT. PER ANNUM OF
,• BONUS ON THE ORIGINAL SUMS INSURED.
.And in order to provide for the case-of such parties as might
...dre:b,seforeA3lstpece.mber, 1652, the period of the next Investi-

gamut' ana aectaration of surplus, there was providect tanner,
2. An addition at the rate of two percent. per annum on the
accumulated amount of the original Assurances and previously
declared additions for each Premium paid after 31st December,
1845, provided the party had at his death been insured five
Years. Thus,-in the case of a. party insured in the early years
of the Society's existence dying after payment of the Premium

for the year 1852, the addition for the seven years from 31st
December, 1845, to 31st December, 1852, would be upwards of
25 per cent., or at the rate of upwards of
THREE AND A HALF PER CENT. PER ANNUM OF
BONUS, ON THE ORIGINAL SUM INSURED.

The proportion of the Profit allocated to each Member may
be applied in any of the following ways, viz.
By additions to the original sum insured.

By an immediate payriient of its value in money, or,
By an equivalent deduction from the future Annual Contri-
butions payable under the Policy.
The effect of the additions made to the Policies may be judged
of from the fact, that in the case of the original Members of
the Society, there will be paid under each £lOOO insured, in the
event of death after payment of the Premium in the year
