THIS Company was chartered in March, 1844, and com 

 menced business on the first of June, 1845. Its business U

 the showy advantages of a large number of policies, and an 

 imposing amount of receipts. California risks have been uni 

 formly declined, and the multiplication of policies in citiei- 

 considered especially liable to cholera has not been encour- 

 aged.

 most approved tables of the probability of life, and at the low 

 est rates which are deemed safe. 



Pamphlets, explaining the principles and advantages of lift 

 assurance, with forms of application and rates of premium.
