THIS Institution, which combines every advantage of a Scotch and English Office, while it
hopes to receive the especial Patronage of Episcopalians, rests its claims to the support of
the Pvblic generally on the sound and equitable principles of its scheme.
It combines the Mutual or Participating, with the Propbietart or Non-Participating System
of Assurance.
In the former, the Assured are entitled to Four-Eifths of the Accumulated Profits. In the
latter, they are charged the lowest Rates of Premium consistent with security to the Establish-
ment.
In both branches the Policy-holders are fully protected by the large Proprietary Capital of
the Company, subscribed by a numerous and influential body of Shareholders.
The remarkable success of the Institution will be evident from the result of the recent Divi-
sion of Profits, when a BONUS of FIFTY-SIX per Cent on the Premiums paid was declared — or
an equivalent Reduction varying from TWENTY-FIVE to FORTY per Cent on the Premiums
payable during the ensuing five years.
jTire H^jefutance.
Premiums of Assurance against Fire are charged at the usual moderate rates, with a Reduc-
tion of L.IO per Cent on the Residences and Furniture of Clergymen of all denominations, and the
Buildings and contents of Churches and Church Schools.
Detailed Prospectuses, the necessary Forms of Proposal, and every requisite information as to
the mode of eflPecting Assurances, may be obtained either by letter or personal application at the
Branch Office of the Institution, 65 Great King Street, Edinburgh, or from any of the Agents
there.
WILLIAM F. SKENE, W.S., Agent and Secretary,
56 Great King Street, Edinburgh.
