BY A RECENT DECISION of the Court of Directors, Persons who now effect Insurances
with this Company for the whole Term of Life, will participate in the Profits, after having paid
FIVE ANNUAL PREMIUMS, without incurring the responsibility attached to Societies for mutual
Insurance. This advantage is not given to the public by any other office in London except the Equitable
Society, where it is confined to the privileged number of five thousand participating member*, and will be
found very suitable to persons as they advance in life, whereby their expectation of partaking of profits,
assigned at distant periods, become very precarious.
The BONUS of L.l, lOs. per cent per annum, declared on Policies in the year 1831, was added to the
sums insured, and the present value of such Bonus may either be received by the parties, or applied in re-
duction of their future Premiums.
The BONUS on Policies now in force, including the Prospective Addition recently declared, amounts
in many cases to TWENTY PER CENT ON THE SUMS INSURED, and will increase annually, until
the next general appropriation of Profits in the year 1841.
Every description of Insurance may be effected with this Company, at REDUCED PREMIUMS,
when persons do not participate in Profits.
When persons wish to discontinue their Insurances from any Cause, the Company will purchase their
Policies upon equitable terms.
Prospectuses, containing Tables of Premiums, and Examples of the different modes in which the Profits
can be applied, may be had at either of the Company's Offices, or of any of the Agents in the principal
Towns throughout the Kingdom.
