'PHE following are among the advantages which this Company ofifers to the Insuring
-■- Public:— ..^, .
\st, The rates of Premium, especially for ages under fifty, are the lowest ever Intherto
published, in proof of which a comparison is confidently invited with the Tables of any ottier
Office in the United Kingdom. ,
2d, The facilities atforded to all classes of insurers, by having it in their power to adopt
either an even rate for life, an ascending scale, or a descending scale, a.?, may suit the conve-
nience of parties ; or further, an alternative plan, by which one-third of the even rate ot
premium (on policies for the whole of life) may remain unpaid, and be deducted from the
sum insured at the end of life, with interest at the rate of four per cent.
3rf/y, The adaptation of the Tables to any service, or to any country in the world ; and it
will be found that in Foreign Insurances also, the extra rates charged are considerably lower
than those of other offices. c • ^ +1, f

might" be rejected by other offices, at moderate rates, deduced from very extensive and accu-
rate observations. . .
