This Society has been established nearly a 

 century and a half, and is the oldest Life As- 

 surance Institution in existence. Its principles 

 are essentially those of Mutual Assurance, and 

 the whole of the profits are divided among the 

 Members. 



Assurances are granted, if desired, without 

 participation in Profits, at reduced rates of 

 Premium, and upon every contingency depend- 

 ing on human life. 



The Tables of Mortality, deduced from the 

 Society's own experience, having satisfied the 

 Directors that the Rates of Premium on Single 

 Lives might be reduced with perfect safety, a 

 new Table has accordingly been prepared, and 

 the terms upon which Assurances are now 

 effected with this Office are shown in the sub- 

 joined extract : — 



Prospectuses and every information may be 

 obtained at the Office.
