At nresent when Interest is so low . attention is invited to the To Clergymen , or other professional men , and to all whose inwnHpnfiTKP ASSURANCE BY siiSGLE PAYMENTS , and come is dependent on the continuance of health , the Directors ^ the Deculiariv advantageous tferms on which it can be effected recommend attention to the scale of DEFERRED ANNUITIES . n the y which are calculated on very advantageous terms . The following opnTTTSiH PROVIDENT ASSOCIATION . are examples of the bCOlllbli i'ttUViur . wi ftO ; ; 1 « 1 ANNUAL PREMIUM for ANNUITY of £ 50 , commencing at By this mode a person may assure a Policy for £ 1000 . tfie flowing- ages : — £ 8 . d . , , ¦ : ; If aged 30 , for a 8 ingle Payment of . 36 » 0 0 Age Age at which Annuity is to commence . ai ? ed 40 ... i 428 7 6 at 2 - — a | ed 50 . 53116 8 Entry . 50 55 I 60 65 At his death his family will receive the £ 1000 , with additions ^ £ 9 ~~ 5 ~ 0 £ 5 ~ 16 8 £ 3 10 0 £ l 19 11 from the profits , on the very favourable principle of this Society . ^ 12 17 1 7 18 4 4 14 2 2 1 * 11 While he lives he has it in his power to borrow a sum nearly 3 q 18 12 1 11 I 8 6 8 9 8 11 3 equal to his payment , on the security of the Policy , and increas- „ ,. 28 13 9 16 a 1 905 4184 ing yearly with its Value , without any expense , and at a mode- . ___ frate rate of interest . Thus an 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 £ 50 to £ 5000 . during life , for an Annual Premium of £ 1 14 s . 2 d . For those who have stilt before them the duty of securing for their families a competent provision in case of their premature death , 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 terms : 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 siuce the commencement of the Institution . Forms of Proposal , Prospectus , Copies of the Annual Reports , and every information , will be forwarded free , on application at the Head Office In Edinburgh ; or at THE OFFICE IN LONDON , 12 .

" A curious and even an attractive book . It is pervaded by a distinct put-pose , sustained by Zealand industry The defence of ' Othello against the charge of ' Iago's' insufficiency of motive , atld the estimate of ' Cas&io's' character , exhibit thought and criticism . "—Spectator . " This Is one of the most marvellous book 3 produced in the nineteenth century . The author is In earnest , and his book is a serious and awe-inspiring work . " —Tablet . ' The task of testing the great bard ' s religious sentiments in a manner most legitimate , has been ably accomplished by Mr . Birch . The book throws much additional light On the real structure of Shakspeare ' s mind . " —Weekly Dispatch . " Mr . Birch ' s attempt is to remove the veil that wraps the poet , Curious to see whether or not his countenance ' shineth as that of angel . ' This unveiling Mr . Birch does with a daring , but agentfe hand . "—Leamington Courier . " Mr . Birch ' s book is an elaborate and systematic exposition of the natural history of Shaknpere's opinions—eloquent with facts , minute in analysis , faithful in detail , and impartial in execution . It is an anodyne to the parched spirit to turn to the fresh pages of Mr . Birch—redolent of a manly and dignified criticism , which keeps close to truth and disdains to pander to omnipotent opinion .
