Tliis Society is so constituted as to present the means of
effecting Assurances on Lives with the greatest possible ad-
vantage to the public.
Three-fourths of the present proJits, and eventually the
whole profits, will be divided among the Policy-holders.
Every person assured to the extent of L.500 for the
whole term of Life will, after four years, be entitled to par-
ticipate in the profits, and to attend and vote at all General
JVJeetings, the Members of which have absolute control over
the affairs of the Society.
No claim can be litigated or disputed without the sanc-
tion of a General Meeting of Policy-holders specially con-
vened on the occasion.
The Directors having availed themselvesof all the import-
ant information relative to the decrements of human life,
which has recently been communicated to the public, have
been enabled to construct a set of Tables, in which the
Rates of Assurance are considerably lower than those of any
other Office in which the assured participate in the profits.
They have also been enabled, from the extent and variety
of tlie computations, to adapt the mode of payment in each
case to the accommodation of the party assured. An instance
of such accommodation may be seen in the annexed extract
from the increasing rates of Premium, which have been cal-
culated expressly for the use of this Institution.
Females and others, who are unable to attend personally
at the Office, may appear before one of the Medical Officers,
in town or country ; and proposals may be completed with-
out delay where the documents relative to the health of the
parties are satisfactory.
The Usual Commissions will, be allowed to Solicitors and
others recommending Assurances to the Office.
Annual Premiums, increasing every Fifth Year, until ths
Twentieth, inclusive, after v/hich a fixed Annual Premium
will be payable riiiriufr the remainder of Life.
