The Bonus added to Policies from March 1834, to December 31. 1847, is as
follows:--
Sum Time Sum added to Policy. Sum payable
Assured. Assured. In 1841. In 1848. at Death.

EXAMPLE.--At the commencement of the year 1841, a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1000_l._, the annual payment for
which is 24_l._ 1_s._ 8_d._: in 1847 he had paid in premiums
168_l._ 11_s._ 8_d._; but the profits being 2¼ per cent. per
annum on the sum insured (which is 22_l._ 10_s._ per annum
for each 1000_l._) he had 157_l._ 10_s._ 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

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.

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
