9 of the gross
P
rofit3 are awardecl to the
Assured, and the expenses of manag¬
ing the Life Department are not, as is usual, taken from the Premium Fund but are
defrayed by the Corporation out of their one-third share of the profits, thus givin’o- to the
Assured all the advantages of Mutual Assurance, without liability of partnership and the
security of an ancient and opulent Corporation.
Its tables have been formed on the lowest scale, to meet the varied views of Assurers by
affording to them the option of the following several advantages :—Firstly, of participating
in the profits of the Corporation by abatements from annual premiums; or, secondly by
making additions to the sums assured by way of bonus payable at death ; or, thirdly by a
money payment at the division of profits in every fifth year ; whilst, from those who desire to
limit their assurances to a given sum without participation in profits, the lowest possible
rate of premium is required, as will be evinced by tables expressly prepared for the Cor¬
poration, which may be had on application at their offices, and which have been constructed
for meeting the various wants of Assurers, and every risk to which protection bv assurance
can be extended.
Officers proceeding out of the limits of Europe are very liberally treated.
