RATES OF PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due safety of the Society, and its A ctuary is calculated to be one of the most competent authorities in England the Court of Chancery having recently had to avail themselves of his experience in these matters ; and although apparently higher than some offices, assurers should not loose sight of the fact that they xeceive it back, either in bonuses or in addition to sums assured, and m electing to insure in this Society they also avail themselves of the experience and safety of a concern that time has proved to^be secure against all chances. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans granted on security of same. FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS.
