The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to December 31, 1847, is as follows:—
| Sum | Time | Sum added to | Sum | |
| In 1841. | In 1848. | |||
| £ | £ s. d. | £ s. d. | £ s. d. | |
| 5000 | 14 years | 683 6 8 | 787 10 0 | 6470 16 8 |
| * 1000 | 7 years | - | 157 10 0 | 1157 10 0 |
| 500 | 1 year | - | 11 5 0 | 511 5 0 |
* Example.—At the commencement of the year 1841, a person aged thirty took out a Policy for 1000l., the annual payment for which is 24l. 1s. 8d.; in 1847 he had paid in premiums 168l. 11s. 8d.; but the profits being 2-1/4 per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which is 22l. 10s. per annum for each 1000l.) he had 157l. 10s. added to the Policy, almost as much as the premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and only one-half need be paid for the first five years, when the Insurance is for Life. Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident Director.

Notwithstanding, therefore, the great demand for the Work, a few copies may still be secured by early written application.
