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 2¼ 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.

THE HEBREW OLD TESTAMENT, with CRITICAL, PHILOLOGICAL, HISTORICAL, POLEMICAL, and EXPOSITORY ENGLISH COMMENTS; the principal Portions of which are Original. In 3 vols. (650 pp. in each volume). By the REV. MOSES MARGOLIOUTH, B.A., Curate of Wybunbury, near Nantwich, Cheshire. To be dedicated by Permission to the Right Reverend the LORD BISHOP OF MANCHESTER.
The Author humbly trusts that, with the blessing of God, the work which he has set before himself to accomplish, will not only prove useful to the advanced Theological Student, but also an important auxiliary to the Bible reader in general who may be altogether unacquainted with the sacred Tongue.
To make the Work more acceptable, a new fount of Hebrew type will be cast for the purpose.
Price to Subscribers, Three Guineas—One Guinea to be paid in advance, to defray current expenses—to Non-Subscribers, Four Guineas.
The Work will be proceeded with as soon as an adequate number of Subscribers is secured to warrant the expenses of the press.
At Press, to be ready shortly, in 2 vols. small 8vo.

HANDEL SOCIETY.—CRAMER, BEALE & CHAPPELL beg to inform the Subscribers and the Public, that they have undertaken the pecuniary responsibility of publishing the Works, and eventually carrying out the original scheme of the above Society. In undertaking engagements which involve so large an expenditure, they solicit the assistance of the Original Subscribers, who, they trust, will afford the necessary encouragement to an undertaking so important and so closely connected with the Art of Music. The Subscription to the Society is One Guinea annually, and New Subscribers may still have the Works from the commencement by payment of the arrears. The first eleven volumes have been printed for eight years' subscription. The Oratorio of "SAMSON," published for the present year, is now ready for delivery.—Catalogues and full particulars may be obtained on application to the Secretary, MR. CHARLES COMPTON, 201.
