LIFE DEPARTMENT. 



THIS CORPORATION has granted As- 

 surances on Lives for a Period exceeding One 

 Hundred and Thirti/ years, having issued ita 

 first Policy on the 7th June, 1721. 



Two-thirds, or 68 per cent, of the entire pro- 

 fits, lire given to the Assured. 



Policies may be opened under either 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 either, after the first five 

 years, to on annual abatement 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 1855 on the 

 Annual Premiums of persons who have been 

 assured under Series " 1831 " for five years or 

 longer, is upwards of 33 per cent. 



The high character which this ancient Cor- 

 poration has maintained during nearly a 

 Century and a Half, secures to the public a 

 full and faithful declaration of profits. 



The Corporation bears the whole Expenses 

 OF Management, thus giving to the Assured, 

 conjoined with the protection afforded by its 

 Corporate Fund, advantages equal to those of 

 any system of Mutual Assurance. 



Premiums may be paid Yearly, Half-yearly, 

 or Quarterly. 



All Policies are issued free from Stamp Dutj/, 

 or from charge of any description whatever, 

 beyond the Premium. 



The attention of the Public is especially 

 called to the great 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 paid 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. 



Prospectuses and all other information may 

 be obtained by either a written or personal 

 application to the Actuary, or to the Superin- 

 tendent of the West End Office. 



JOHN LAURENCE, Secretary.
