 The Bonus added to Policies from March. - 

 1834, to December 31. 1847, is as follows : _ 



* Example At the commencement of the 



year 1841, a person aged thirty took out a Policy 

 for lOOOi., the annual payment for which is 

 242. Is. 8d. ; in 1847 he had paid in premiums 

 1682. lis. Sd. i but the profits being 2f per cent, 

 per annum on the sum insured (which is 

 222. lOs. per annum for each 10002.) he had 

 1572. 10s. added to the Policy, almost as much 

 as the premiums paid. 



The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most 

 moderate scale, and only one-half need be paid 

 for the first five years, when the Insurance is 

 for Life. Every information will be afforded 

 on application to the Resident Director.
