The system adopted by this Institution gives to the Assured every advantage Life
Assurance is capable of affording ; and the success with which it has been attended, aris-
ing from its extended connection and the safe and liberal principles on which it is founded,
is sufficiently proved by the fact, that upwards of Ten Thousand Policies have been issued,
assuring sums amounting to almost Three Millions Sterling. The Annual Income is
£45,000, and the Accumulated Capital, the property of its members, is £125,000.
Policies issued for the year ending 20th November, 1854, have been One Thousand
Eight Hundred and Eighteen.

attaining any fixed age, or at once to his representatives, in case of earlier death.
