ADAMANT LIFE AND FIEE J \_ ASSURANCE COMPANY . Temporary Offices , 2 p , Bloomsbury-Squahe . Capital £ 100 , 000—in Shares of £ 1 each ; First Call 5 s . per Share . Liability of Shareholders limited to the amount of shares held by each . Attention is particularly called to the novel and peculiar advantages offered by this Company . The whole of the premiums paid during health , for five vears or upwards may be converted into an " immediate annuity" for the remainder of life ; should a member become incapable of continuing his annual payment . Thus—suppose a man of thirty to pay £ 50 a-year for twenty years , making together £ 1 , 000 , and then to become unable longer to pay this amount , he would be entitled to such an immediate annuity for life as £ 1 , 000 would have purchased him at the age he originally assured—viz ., £ 56 12 s . 6 d . annually . A certain return to the assured of at least one-third oi all premiums received . Six months are allowed beyond the days of grace for the payment of all premiums , on depositing the policy with the Society . A policy may be renewed at any time after the day when the premium actually became due , at the original rate of premium ; back payments and interest thereon being duly paid up at the end ot that time , provided the medical report is satisfactory . Medical Referees , in all eases referred to them , paid for their reports . One guinea up to £ 500 proposed assurance , and two guineas if £ 500 , and above . Life Policies free of Stamp Duty to the Assured . Assurances are effected , by way of provision against members being attacked with paralysis , blindness , insanity , and every other affliction , bodily or mental . Mariner ' s risks whilst afloat 30 s . per cent , extra . Twenty-five per cent , of the entire profits of the Company is appropriated for the formation of a Relief Fund , for the benefit of parties assured for life ( who shall have paid five years ' premiums consecutively ) , as well as of aged or distressed proprietors ( who shall have paid all calls and deposits ) , to assist them in emigrating , educating their children , or for such other purposes as the Court of Directors may think expedient . Loans granted , on personal and other securities in connexion with a policy for one fourth more than the amount borrowed . Persons assuring for life , without anv participation in the above advantages ( except the policy free of duty ) , will be charged two-thirds of the tabular rates only . Appearance before tho Board dispensed with in all cases . FIRE DEPARTMENT . Tho experience of existing offices proves that their largest profit is derived from that class of insurance designated " common risks . " This Company is established to effect fire insurances of this character principally . Every description of common risk will bo taken at Is . per cent . Tho contents of private dwelling-houses insured in one amount ( pictures , prints , and drawings oxeepted ) . Under this novel system tho inouror obtains a reduction of premium , in comparison with tho rates charged by all other existing firo offices , equivalent to 50 per cent . In all oases of total loss tho whole amount insured will bo paid at onco . Thus , for tho first tirno since tho establishment of fire-offices , tho prudent man who insures his property will bo placed in tho samo advantageous position an the prudent man who assures his lifo . For tho first timo the value of tho property insured will be estimated boforo tho insurance is effected , instead of after tho thing to bo valued has bison destroyed . Seven years' insurance charged tho premium and duty for sir yoara only . Attendance at tho office daily from Ton to Four ; Saturdays from Ten to Two . Applications for shares and prospectuses to bo made to tho brokors , Messrs . Sainuol Hniit . lt and Son , 4 , Hank-chambora , Lothbury , or tho temporary offices , 2 S , iJloomHbury-Hquaro .

Established 1837 . Incorporated by special Act of Parliament . Intending Life Assurers and Policy Holders in other Companies are invited to examine the rates , principles , and position oi the SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION for MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE by MODERATE PREMIUMS . The Scottish Provident Institution claims ; superiority over other mutual offices in the following particulars : — 1 . —Premiums at eajrly and middle age about a fourth lower . 2 . —A more accurate adjustment of the rates of premium to the several ages . 3 . —A principle in the division of the surplus more safe , equitable , and favourable to good lives . 4 . —Exemption from entry money . All policies indisputable , unless obtained by fraud . Specimens of Premiums . Annual Premiums for £ 100 , with whole profits . Age 20 | 25 | 30 1 35 | 40 | 45 1 50 | 55 £ 115 8 | 118 0 | 216 | 26 10 | 2 14 9 | 359 | 417 J 5111 Annual Premiums , payable for 21 years only , for £ 100 , with whole profits . Age 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 £ 2 7 10 | 2 10 8 1 2 14 6 | 2 19 8 | 3 6 4 | 3 14 9 | 4 7 2 A comparison of these premiums with those of any other office will at once show the immediate advantage secured in tho Scottish Pkovident . The premiums payable for 21 years only are nearly the same as many oflices require during the whole of life . Progress . Since its institution in 1837 , this Society has issued upwards of 5750 policies , the assurances exceeding Two Millions and a Half , a result the more satisfactory , as the Directors have firmly adhered to their rule of allowing No Commission to any other than their own recognised official agents . Its whole affairs are in the most prosperous condition , as shown by the Annual Reports , which with prospectus , tables of annuity and assurance premium , and every information may he obtained , free , on application to the London Branch , 12 , Moorgate Street , City .
