Established 1824

FIVE BONUSES have been declared: at the last in January, 1852, the sum of 131,125l. was added to the Policies, producing a Bonus varying with the different ages from 24-1/2 to 55 per cent. on the Premiums paid during the five years, or from 5l. to 12l. 10s. per cent. on the Sum assured.

The small share of Profit divisible in the future among Shareholders being now provided for, the ASSURED will hereafter derive all the benefits obtainable from a Mutual Office, WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY OR RISK OF PARTNERSHIP.

POLICIES effected before the 30th June next, will be entitled, at the next Division, to one year's additional share of Profits over later Assurers.

On Assurances for the whole of Life only one half of the Premiums need be paid for the first five years.

INVALID LIVES may be Assured at rates proportioned to the risk.

Claims paid thirty days after proof of death, and all Policies are Indisputable except in cases of fraud.

This Society has been established nearly a century and a half, and is the oldest Life Assurance Institution in existence. Its principles are essentially those of Mutual Assurance, and the whole of the profits are divided among the Members.

Assurances are granted, if desired, without participation in Profits, at reduced rates of Premium, and upon every contingency depending on human life.

The Tables of Mortality, deduced from the Society's own experience, having satisfied the Directors that the Rates of Premium on Single Lives might be reduced with perfect safety, a new Table has accordingly been prepared, and the terms upon which Assurances are now effected with this Office are shown in the subjoined extract:—

Prospectuses and every information may be obtained at the Office.
