This Office has been established upwards of sixty years, and its present magnitude and prosperity prove
the soundness of the principles on which it has been conducted.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.
The rates of Premium have been adjusted in accordance with a long experience, and bear equitably on
all ages.
The Accumulated Premiums are over £1,650,000; and a statement showing bow these are invested can
be had.
The sum of over £4,900,000 has been paid during the existence of the Office for Claims under Life
Policies, of which amount a very considerable part was for Bonuses.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
This Company undertakes the Assurance of almost every species of Property in the United Kingdom, at
rates of Premium and upon principles which will be found quite as advantageous to the interests of the
Assured as those offered by any other. The Directors can confidently refer to the well-known character of
the Company for liberality and promptitude in the discharge of claims made upon it during the many years it
has been established.
Mills, Manufactories, Distilleries, Warehouses, Stores, Ships Building, Ships in Harbour, Houses, Furniture,
Stock-in-trade, &c, assured for the year, or any shorter period.
The Policies of this Company cover losses occasioned by the explosion of Gas. Losses occasioned by Light-
ning will also be paid.
The FIRE DUTY being wholly abolished, even the least Hazardous Property ought now in every case to
be Assured, and existing Assurances can be increased without increasing the cost hitherto paid.
Tables of Rates, Forms of Proposal, and any information needful to effect Life or Fire Assurances, may be
obtained on application to the Office, No. 92, Cheapside, London; or to any of the Company's Agents.
