The Association for Life Insurance is founded upon the principle of mutual guarantee - the whole surplus capil, being dividied amongst the representatives of the Members, by additions made to the amount secured by their Policies - Bonusses of £20, £24 and £25 per cent on the Premium paid have been declared upon all Policies issued prior to July 1815 and bonusses of £24 and £25 per cent on Policies issued between July 1815 and July 1822 and July 1829. The Premnums, under 45, are nearly 10 per cent, below most other Offices. - As an instance of the great utility of Life Insurance, it may be remarked, that a person in his 28th year, may, by an annual payment of 2l. 6s. 8d. insure £100 payable to his executors at his decease; or for 23l 6s. 8d. may insure £1000, and thus, at a moderate yearly expense, preserve his family from distress. The rapid progress of this Society is evidenced by the amount of its Preminums, which, at the undermentioned periods, stood as follows: -

Year ending March, 1824 .... £117, 465 5s 11d
Year ending March, 1827.... £137, 304 4s 1d
