      INTENDING LIFE ASSURERS are respectfully invited to compare the Princip les , R ates , and whole Provisions of the SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION ¦ with those of any othex existing Company . The WHOLE PROFITS are divisible among the Assured , who are , at the same time , specially exempt from personal liability . It thus possesses an obvious advantage over any Proprietary Company . As compared with other Mutual Offices , it claims superiority in the following particulars : — 1 . PREMIUMS AT EARLY AND MIDDLE AGES ABOUT A FOURTH LOWER . ( See below . )* 2 . A MORE ACCURATE ADJUSTMENT OF THE RATKS OF PREMIUM TO THE SEVKRAL AGES . 3 . A PRINCIPLE IN THE DIVISION OF THE SURPLUS MORE SAFE , EQUITABLE , AND FAVOURABLE TO GOOD LIVES . 4 . EXEMPTION FROM ENTRY MONEY . Resolutions were adopted at the General Meeting in 1849 . the effect of which is to render POLICIES INDISPUTABLE EXCEPT ON ACCOUNT OF FRAUD . * I .

At present , when interest is so low , attention is invited to the To Clergymen , or other professional men , and to all whose inmodeof LIFE ASSURANCE BY SINGLE PAYMENTS , and come is dependent on the continuance of health , the Directors to the peculiarly advantageous terms on which it can be effected recommend attention to the scale of DEFERRED ANNUITIES , in the which are calculated on very advantageous terms . The following SCOTTISH PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION . are examples of the ^ ,. . „ ,. „ „ ,,, „ , , ANNUAL PREMIUM for ANNUITY of £ o 0 , commencing at By this mode a person may assure a Policy for £ 1 ( 00 . t j ie following ages : — If aged 30 , for a Single Payment of . 3 « 2 0 0 1 ^ 7 * e at which Annuity is to commence . aged 40 428 7 fa at & _ — aged 50 53116 8 Entry . 50 55 60 65 At his death his family will receive ; the £ 1000 , with additions "ZZ " ^ T q Jc 5 ~ 16 8 £ 3 10 0 £ 1 1 !) 11 from the profits , on the very favourable principle of this Society . yr , ., .

Thus au Annuity of £ 50 may be secured for a person now aged Assurances may be effected in this way , varying in amount 25 , to commence on his attaining age 60 , and payable half-yearly rom £ o 0 to £ 5000 . during life , for an Annual Premium of £ 4 14 s . 2 d . For those who have still before them the duty of securing for their families a competent provision in case of their premature dea'h , the ordinary mode of Life Assurance by Annual Premiums , payable during life , or for a limited number of years , is undoubtedly most suitable ; but to those who have already made such provision , the systems now brought under notice are recommended , —the former , as combining a favourable Investment for spare capital with the benefit of Life Assurance , and this on the most economical terois : and the latter as a means of securing : a provision for the member himself in his declining years . During last year 587 Policies were opened , —above 4000 having- been issued since the commencement of the Institution . Forms of Proposal . Prospectus , Copies of the Annual Reports , and every information , will bo forwarded free , on application at the Head Office in Edinburgh ; or at THE OFFICE IN L ONDON , 12 . MOORGATE-STREET .
