LIFE DEPARTMENT. 



THIS CORPORATION has granted As- 

 surances ou Lives for a I'cihd exceeding One 

 Iluiulred and Thirti/.Yeais, having issued its 

 first Policy ou the 7th June, 1721. 



Two-thirds, or 66 jjer cent, of the entire pro- 

 fits, ore given to the Assured. 



Policies may be opened under g ither of the 

 following plans, viz. : _ 



At a low rate of premium, without partici- 

 pation in profits, or at a somewhat higher rate, 

 entitling the Assured cither, after the first five 

 years, to an annual abatenient of premium for 

 the remainder of life, or, after payment of the 

 first premium, to a participation in the ensuing 

 quinquennial Bonus. 



The abatement for the year 18.W on the 

 Annual Premiums of persons who have been 

 assured under Series " 1831 " for five years or 

 longer, is upwards of 33 pe>- cent. 



The high character which this ancient Cor- 

 poration has maintained during near!// a 

 Centtmi and a Half, secures to the public a 

 full and fiiithful declaratiou of profits. 



The Corporation bears the whole Expenses 

 OF Management, thus giving to the Assured, 

 conjoined with the protection afforded by its 

 Corpo7-ate Fund, advantages equal to those of 

 any system of Mutual Assurance. 



Premiums may be paid Yearly, Half-yearly, 

 or Quarterly. 



AH Policies arc issued free from Stamp Dutu, 

 or from charge of any description whatever, 

 beyond the Premium . 



The attention of tlie Public is especially 

 called to tne (/reat advantages offered to Life 

 Assurers by the Legislature in its recent 

 Enactments, by which it will be found that, to 

 a defined extent, life Premiums are not sub- 

 ject to Income Tax. 



The Fees of Medical Referees are jraW by the 

 Corporation. 



Annuities are granted by the Corporation 

 payable Half-yearly. . > 



Every facility will be given for the transfer 

 or exchange of Policies, or any other suitable 

 arrangement will be made for the convenience 

 of the Assured.

 be obtained by either a written or personal
